Shoes

I recently set out to find an extremely comfortable pair of non-slip, non-heel shoes for being on my feet long hours. One of my favorite online shoes sites http://www.6pm.com/ was having a sale on all their Soft Walk shoes. After a little research I learn that this is one of the leading brands among flight attendants and are known to be extremely comfortable. I am a strong believer in that there is no such thing as a comfortable shoe, it is an oxymoron. I prefer bare feet and if society would permit I would follow suit. Don't get me wrong, I love a beautiful shoe and love the look of a high heel, but I certainly feel the pain. I endure it. But I pay a price. I admit that these shoes are pretty hideous and far from feminine or very attractive, but they do make an attempt at being stylish and are worth a try. There are a few styles that could work nicely with jeans or cords in the winter. Mine are these clunky clogs but go perfect with black pants, an apron and a name tag. All Soft Walk shoes were on a one day only sale for $17.95. Their shoes retail for around $100. This discount in price made it well worth the small investment to see if these would live up to their promise of "lasting comfort" and a "massaging footbed". I ordered the shoes on a Thursday and found them on my stoop 5 days later. I have yet to wear them for a full day of standing, but upon trying them on and dancing around the kitchen, I have found them to be the most comfortable shoe I have ever had on my foot. I recommend viewing www.dealnews.com and www.6pm.com periodically for additional Soft Walk sales.

Floor Finish

Carla and I were unpacking groceries at her house the other day. She reached under the sink to show me this product and told me to use it on my hardwood floors. She warned me that it costs more than similiar products but convinced me it would make my floors sparkle. I used it today. Although I can't quite make out my relection, I have found the product to do what it says it will do and to be an excellent floor polish. It can easily be applied with a dry mop. I used my swiffer and a dry Swiffer dust cloth. This is not a cleaner and technically I should have mopped before applying, but I didn't. Retail $7.99
