Fall weather provides a wonderful atmosphere for families to become more active outdoors. Walking through fairs, festivals, farmer’s markets, and the mall can be hard on your feet – particularly if you want to look stylish. Keeping your feet stylish and comfortable is very possible with this week’s comfort item. The J-41 Journey shoe is stylish, comfortable, and works well with a variety of different styles.

Featuring peep-toe details and intricate cutout patters, the J-41 Journey is the shoe of choice for casual comfort this fall. The flower details on the heel and the wedge shape bring comfort and fashion together seamlessly.

Comfort features of this shoe, according to the product description, include a “quick closure system for people on the move, contoured footbed for support, quick drying and odor-free sock linings, extra cushioning for immediate ‘Ahh’ feeling and superior support, non-marking, compressed rubber outsole for traction and durability, and toe and heel bumpers for protection against the elements.”

The J-41 Journey works well for a variety of individuals – from soccer moms to college students to artistic sophisticates. Available in 9 colors, there’s a pair for every taste.

J-41 is a company concerned with comfort and style. According to the product description, “J-41 products are made with 100% recycled and recyclable packaging. All J-41 outsoles are constructed with partially recycled rubber. In this small way, they hope to do their part to help save our great outdoors for future generations.” This makes a pair of J-41 Journey shoes a smart choice for eco-friendly fashionistas.

What do you wear with a pair of J-41 Journey shoes? A pair of casual comfort jeans and a simple top looks great with a pair of these shoes. Alternatively, a pair of corduroy pants and a floral top make this outfit a casual comfort dream. Those who want a look with more of an edge can pair black J-41 Journey shoes with black skinny pants and a party top .

No matter what your style, the weekly comfort item will leave you stylish and comfortable this fall. The feminine detailing on the J-41 Journey shoes make them the perfect addition to any wardrobe.

A lot of people call The Naturist (Gavin McInnes) an outdoor expert. We completely agree…he is an expert at what not to do while outdoors. Fortunately, he has one thing going for him, we equipped him in the new Teva® Riva . Thanks to features like an aggressive lug design and a waterproof and breathable membrane, Gavin can be sure that even when everything goes wrong, his feet will still be comfortable and protected by the Riva.

Heather bet Ebonique a dollar a day that she wouldn’t wear her purple Chucks for a month. Ebonique took her up on that bet, and in the spirit of Core Value #3, she one uped the bet and wore uber hip 80’s outfits along with her purple Chuck Taylors the entire month of August. Well, every day except the 31st that is! How long can you wear your Chuck Taylors?

Our friends at Mizuno came by the office last week to show off their Mobile Running Lab, which houses their signature Precision Fit Machine and every shoe size imaginable. Over 20 Zappos team members received a biomechanical running analysis to valuate several different aspects of their gait, foot arch, posture etc. The purpose of the Precision Fit Machine is to help runners find the perfect Mizuno Running shoe to fit their feet. A big thanks to Mizuno for coming out and helping get us ready for the Las Vegas Rock and Roll Marathon !

We are happy to announce that our Customer Loyalty lead Jean D. has implemented the Internet Vendor Mentor program. This new program allows our vendors the opportunity to listen in on phone calls from our customers regarding questions about their respective categories. For example, if one of our rideshop vendors wants to hear questions that our customers are asking about skate shoes, they can sit in with representatives of our rideshop business unit. We currently have 5 business units: Kids, Outdoor, Running, Comfort and Rideshop.

Great job, Jean!

Mike, aka “Soleman” got a new pair of shoes yesterday, and they are whipping him into shape. We got a quick interview with Mike and Myra to see what the Skecher’s Shape Ups are all about.
