In the 'Buff' - with Bear Models!

Advantages: Excellent functionality
Disadvantages: Only for those who don't mind looking silly

...holiday. If it's hot a Buff stops me burning my head, if it's cold it keeps me warm. But that's just putting things too simply - there's a lot more to a Buff than that. Stylish or What? ************* When I wear my Buffs people tend to think I am either bald, very grey, of Romany blood or recovering from chemotherapy. Only in my wildest fantasies do I suppose they are thinking 'wow, what a funky hat that very cool woman is wearing'. If you track ...
...Buff. How I found Buff and changed my life ******************************** A Dutch colleague introduced me to Buff's. She's a very 'hearty' lady who compensates for living somewhere very flat and sub-sea level by climbing everything that sticks up all over the world. Therefore, when she told me I needed a Buff, I listened and I put my hand in my pocket without a further thought (she's bigger and tougher than me) and bought one. And I've not looked ...

Review of Buff headgear

THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKING

Advantages: Comfort, Looks, Reliability
Disadvantages: All good things come to an end

...bit about the history of Dr Martens brand. I could tell you that Dr Klaus Maertens injured his foot during a skiing accident in Germany, 1945. I could tell you that he invented a shoe with 'bouncing soles' made from old rubber tyres that cushioned air between the layers of the sole and thus helped said Dr Maertens to walk whilst his injury healed. I could even go on to tell you how Dr Maertens then went on to join in partnership with Dr Herbert ...
...as to tell you that Dr Martens - the name brand and spelling we know today - was born on the 1st April 1960. Hence the logo 1460. Clever stuff - and a good date I'm sure you'll agree for a gimmicky shoe to be named. (April Fools Day…geddit?) I could spout forth about the many seemingly separated, segregated groups in society that have adopted Dr Martens as a symbol of 'their' culture: Goths, Mods, Rockers, Punks etc, etc, etc… But I wont. Because ...

Ronald's Crocs!

Advantages: very light and comfortable
Disadvantages: look massive

...intend to buy. With crocs cayman shoes, i was'nt very convince of getting a pair of this shoes because i don't really like the style and design, it looks huge. I actually remember Ronald Mcdonald's shoes! But besides of that, I saw a lot of people wearing them including big time celebrities! I quite wonder what does it have to make everyone crazy enough to buy them and look silly afterwards. On the otherhand, i think they look great for children ...
...in a car boot sale. Crocs never let her down! But still i'm not convinced. THE ENCOUNTER After few weeks, we went shopping for my son's shoes but before getting inside the shop. I noticed some people were blocking the way in and grabbing a bargain. Then i later found out that CROCS were on sale. Now i have a reason to try them so upon putting them on. I was surprise how comfortable it is, feels very light. So i decided to get a color blue pair, ...

Review of Crocs Cayman Shoes

A Shoe for All Seasons

Advantages: Lots of colour choice, hardwearing, comfy
Disadvantages: Not the most atractive design

I’ve had my Crocs now for just over 3 years, bright yellow ones. Some colleagues at work had them; this was my first introduction to the croc. My first thoughts were pretty dismissive, your feet must sweat, they look uncomfortable, won’t they slip off, and they won’t last long. I was assured that they were none of these so I decided that I would buy a pair. I was amazed at the range of colours, from conservative navy and black right through to bright ...
...have a non-slip sole but I have on occasions found myself skidding on wet floors. The croc is made from a material, which is soft and cushioning. I find these comfortable for even a long walk. Your foot even gets a massage as you walk from the small pimples inside. Some of these have now begun to wear but they are 3 years old now. A rubbery shoe must result in smelly feet. Not this one they are odour free and you can wash them in a washing machine. ...

Review of Crocs Cayman Shoes

Ugliest shoe on the market

Advantages: Waterproof
Disadvantages: Ugly as hell

...not alone in this matter. Crocs are the most offensive looking shoes on the market and I can instantly form an opinion on somebody who wears these abominations. I'm not usually a judgemental person by any means but these shoes genuinely offend me. I tend to only see children, people with children and old people trying to spice up their shoe cupboard with some bright colours with these awful things on. My own father bought a pair which caused some ...
...comfortable and practical and that's fair enough if you are at an age where you no longer care much about your appearance. If you are young or still retain your looks and a sense of self worth then please don't become someone who wears crocs! There are clubs for these people.. ...
