      <description>These shoes sound great for people with foot problems who want to look stylish.  I have a question for the women out there.  Have you had foot surgery but regretted it? I'm an author and journalist writing about women's shoes and feet.  You can look me up at http://www.leoratanenbaum.com.  I've been on Oprah, the Today Show, National Public Radio, etc.  I am looking for women under the age of 50 who elected to have foot surgery -- to correct a bunion, hammertoe, neuroma, etc. -- and now regret their decision.  I want to write about your experience as a cautionary tale for other women.  I will not use your name unless you want me to.  If you are interested in speaking with me, please email me at leoratan@yahoo.com.  Thanks!  - Leora</description>

      <link>http://blogs.zappos.com/blogs/comfort/2009/09/24/rockports-new-adiprene-technology#comments-6642</link>
      <description>I noticed that a lot of customers who purchase western boots, who have written comments have commenteed that it is hard and timely taking the boots off.  I am a true Texan who wears a lot of western boots and just recently purchase a pair of Justins.  Down here in Texas we use "Boot Jacks" to remove our boots.  If you offer "Boot Jacks" for sell ($12-$15 adverage) on your website, I bet you will sale more western boots.  If you feel in anyway that this insight will increase your sells, a gift card will be greatly appreicated.&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>Josef Seibel Shoes, Where Comfort Meets Fashion&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
Josef Seibel shoes Started in the late 1800's in a small German town in which shoes were produced by hand and carried with them the professional workmanship and attention that people could experience every "step" of the way. Something the Josef Seibel footwear brand has maintained over its many years of existence is the quality of workmanship, materials, and fashion. Each and every pair of Josef Seibel footwear are treasured for good reason.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More people than ever are discovering the almost magical way that their feet and leg pains, fatigue, and poor circulation seem to become less and less until these problems are practically gone. This is a phenomenon that new customers notice after wearing Josef Seibel sandals for months, even years. The secret is in the craftsmanship of the inside foot-beds of each shoe and the way they massage the bottom of your foot. The sandals generate a unique feeling that actually improves blood flow to the feet AND body as you walk, with the very design being keen to the makeup of the foot is unmistakable as being footwear that is much more than just fashionable!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
People who discover a pair of these sandals are hooked right away and are known to look for the next great style this company puts out while maintaining ownership of their other styles. Josef Seibel shoes are built to enjoy but also built to last a long time! When something makes you feel better, supports your feet and legs with such comfort, people tend to remember, wouldn't you? This is a shoe brand people don't quickly replace. They tend to want to take them to the local shoe repair shop, since shoes this personal deserve every shot at continuing to provide you comfort.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sandals have been in existence practically since man took his first steps on the streets of life. Although sandals have undergone many transformations since the first pair, the concept of fashion has always been there. Sandals need to accomplish three very important requirements to become useful, and the Josef Seibel shoes carry their weight well in all of these areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;They must be fashionable&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;They must be comfortable&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;They must be safe.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shoes have taken on a technological aspect over years since man became civilized, and we have found out how important it is for footwear to absorb the pounding and the abuse we put our feet through. They say the best sandals are those you don't know you have on because they are just that comfortable and this is true. This is what it means to wear Josef Seibel shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If asked, most people wouldn't even realize all the things a shoe does for them to protect them from the elements of the modern world, but that's ok, because that's what we buy shoes for, amongst other things. Aside from their utilitarian uses, one of our most cherished concerns when it comes to shoes is style, beauty, and their ability to make us feel better in some way. A shoe that can protect us, give us comfort unsurpassed, and still look very stylish, is more than just footwear, it's Josef Seibel shoes. The tradition lives on and has been copied by many, but Josef Seibel began the tradition!</description>

      <description>I just wanted to thank Zappos very much for the excellent service!&lt;br /&gt;
In this day and age finding someone who delivers as promised plus more is a breath of fresh air!&lt;br /&gt;
 I wouldn't mind working for an outfit (no pun intended) such as yours.&lt;br /&gt;
 Keep up the good work and I look forward to doing more business with you soon.&lt;br /&gt;

      <title>RE:&amp;nbsp;History of Shoes: Clogs, A Style to Yodel About!</title>
      <link>http://blogs.zappos.com/blogs/comfort/2008/08/08/history-of-shoes-clogs-a-style-to-yodel-about#comments-4246</link>
      <description>I've used to own a shoe store in the late 90's, and my recollection of the clog is Dansko and their explosion onto the shoe scene at that time.  I used to have to twist customers' arms to try on a pair of (+spam+), but once they put them on, they walked out with 2 or 3 pairs (although back then there were only 2 color options!).</description>
