If you have feet … you really should treat yourself to a pair of Doc Martens. They are the best shoes made anywhere. I got my first pair in Covent Garden in London over a decade ago and wore them almost every day for six years. The shoes are just incredibly comfortable and durable.
I got an email this morning announcing that they’re currently having a 40% off sale (use coupon code DMFF4005 at checkout) to promote the redesign of their site, so I figured I’d share.

O‘Neal is one of the largest men alive. He wears size-22 basketball shoes, which are made for him by a company called Starter; they are all white and finished with a shiny gloss, reminiscent, in their sheen and size, of the hull of a luxury yacht. (When the Lakers’ equipment manager, a rotund man in the mid-five-foot range named Rudy Garciduenas, carries the shoes into the locker room before a game, he cradles them in gentle arms, as if he were the nursemaid of Otus and Ephialtes, the twin giant sons of Poseidon.) O’Neal’s cars must have their interiors ripped out and their seats moved back ten inches before he is able to drive them. (His most recent acquisition is a Ferrari Spider convertible, a birthday gift from his father that was, as he pointed out to reporters in the Lakers’ locker room one night, bought with his own earnings. O’Neal’s Spider has its top down permanently, since he’s too big for the convertible to convert.) O’Neal’s pants have an outside seam of four feet six and a half inches. He has never encountered a hotel-room showerhead that was high enough for him to stand under, an inconvenience for a man who spends months at a time on the road. When he speaks on a cell phone, he holds it in front of his mouth and talks into it as if it were a walkie-talkie, and then swivels it up to his ear to listen, as if the phone were a tiny planet making a quarter orbit around the sun of his enormous head.

The Airwalk site is pretty cool. I couldn’t find my new pair there (heh heh, “pair there”). This is the part I don’t get: WHY CAN I NOT BUY SHOES THERE?!? Damn, there are so many things I would BUY if some corporate fcuks would GET A CLUE and SELL ON-LINE!
Am I the only one that gets aggravated when I find something that I want to buy and the company thinks it is very helpful by telling me what STORE I can visit to buy it?! What the hell?! Look, if I go to your website it’s for one of two reasons:
Do you really think I am cruising the ‘net looking for a picture of how cool your product is? Duh! I know it’s cool and I WANT ONE or else I wouldn’t be going to your site in the first place! Aaaarrrggghhhh!
Although, to be fair, sometimes I go to your site because I am considering buying your product. But if that’s the case then don’t you want to LET ME BUY IT while I’m there?! That would be a huge checkmark in the “Yes, I think I will buy this” column, dontcha think?!?!
