Ladies' Best Friend and Men's Hiking Smartwool styles are perfect for Thanksgiving because we are thankful for best friends, especially when the men are off hunting.

This is the best spot for the PhD styles!  
Why not finish out '09 or start the new year smarter than the average sock! The Smartwool PhD styles incorporate a 4-degree fit system and WOW (wool-on-wool) technology to provide support where it's needed at the temperature most comfortable.

Since the first Labor Day celebration in the states in New York city in 1882, Americans have been observing the day of rest. We don't all always get to rest on that day but it's been a National Holiday since then nonetheless.  In light of this American holiday I thought I would share with you something I think is pretty amazing in today's economy. New Balance is the only athletic footwear company still making shoes in the United States! In fact at least 25% of New Balance shoes sold in North America are produced right here in the states. Keeping the home fires burning. I'll post a video next week with the styles that have American Pride! Everyone have a safe and happy Holiday Weekend! 

It's that time of year. When you start hearing the little ones complain and the parents sing! Back to school! Bargain shopper that I am, I enjoy cashing in on those Back to School discounts. And if you're anything like me you would want to know all about all of the sales. So.. to save myself from answering, "Why didn't you tell me about the sale?!" emails...
Now through Sunday August 23rd everything on the site, including sale items, is 10% off! In addition to the discount, orders over $75 are eligible for Free Shipping!

Sunshine and 83° in Washington, Missouri today.
With that kind of forecast one can't help but develop a little Spring fever!
Warm weather is not the only thing that rolled in this week. We also got in our new Birki's and they couldn't have come at a better time! I wanted to break out the flip-flops for the day but I got a flat.
We all have our favorites and I have kept this pair of Teva's in the rotation past it's prime as one of the straps has broken and it's lost it's flip. That's right, my old favorites are now just flops.
No need for a pity party or the world's smallest violin playing taps, although I do appreciate the gesture. I have already picked out my next favorite for the year! What's that? "Stop talking and show me the goods," you say? Okay then. You ask and you shall receive.
