| Hoka Is Now Making Hiking Shoes - Outside Posted: 25 Mar 2019 12:21 AM PDT Hoka One One is best known for bringing maximum cushioning to running shoes. Now the California-based brand is hoping to do the same for hiking, with the launch of three new shoes—the Sky Kaha, Sky Toa, and Sky Arkali. Since Hoka entered the market in 2010, it has catered to athletes—especially ultrarunners—who want to feel like they're floating, not pounding, the dirt or pavement as they log training miles. Other than a foray into track spikes, the company hasn't gone out of its way to target anyone other than distance runners. The launch of the Sky series seems like a big new frontier for Hoka. Though really, it's a natural evolution for a brand that's always built shoes for people who want to spend long hours on their feet and be comfortable doing it. Now it's just targeting those who travel slower than runners and might need more support. At a media event in Boulder, Colorado, where I tested the Sky collection, Hoka's product-line manager, Jared Smith, described the three models as "runnable" versions of typical hiking or approach shoes. Indeed, all three have the signature comfort and relatively high stack that you'd expect from Hoka.  The Kaha is a fairly burly, traditional-looking waterproof hiking boot with a leather upper, 31 millimeters of midsole foam in the heel, and five-millimeter lugs. The Toa is an exceptionally lightweight speed-hiking boot—the women's version weighs in at 13.26 ounces, only slightly heavier than the most cushioned running shoes. It's also waterproof and has a breathable synthetic upper. The Arkali is a hybrid climbing-hiking-running shoe designed for scrambling over vertical terrain, with heel and ankle straps to lock in the foot and laces that extend all the way down to the toe, like approach shoes, for precise fit on technical rock. Of all three models, the Arkali is my favorite. Initially, I thought the Arkali looked too specific, that it would be useless for the majority of us who run and hike on trails. Then I wore a pair for a winter hike up Boulder's Mount Sanitas. The route's nontechnical singletrack is similar to what you'd find all over the country, but on this day, snow and mud added an extra challenge. The Arkali's five-millimeter multidirectional Vibram lugs provided better grip than any hiking shoe I've ever worn, but my feet felt substantially lighter, so much so that it was easy to break into a run on the way down the mountain. The Arkalis are more versatile than they look. With more people than ever trying to travel fast and light in the mountains, a sleek shoe that's capable on technical terrain seems timely. While it looks hardcore, it could actually be what a lot of hikers—even casual ones—are missing.  |
| Shop collecting shoes for homeless | Local News - Gloucester Daily Times Posted: 26 Mar 2019 07:55 AM PDT  A Gloucester business is collecting used, lightly-worn shoes that will be given to people on Cape Ann who are homeless or in significant need. Mark Adrian Shoes, 103 Main St. is accepting donation of cleaned, used shoes through March. Those who bring in shoes will be given a special discount on a new pair from the store. The shop has also partnered with Yaleet Inc., the U.S. distributors of Naot Footwear, to donate 100 pairs of new Naot shoes to Action Inc. and Wellspring House, two Cape Ann non-profit organizations that work with the homeless. The new shoes will be given to men and women who have recently become homelessness. The clean, gently worn shoes, boots, sandals and sneakers collected at the store will be added to the donation to Action Inc. Mark Adrian Shoes personnel will staff a special shoe event at the Action Inc. main office in April, providing the personal fitting one would get at the store. "Everyone deserves to feel physically well, and it all starts with our feet," Adam Farber, president and owner of Mark Adrian Shoes said in a prepared statement. " "I feel so fortunate to have a successful business on Cape Ann. Our focus on healthy and stylish footwear is about improving people's lives every day. It is an honor to be able to share our expertise with everyone in our community. " The 100 new pairs of Naot shoes are among the 15,000 pairs Yaleet donates annually to local charities.

| Lucky Shoes reaches 100th year in business - Massillon Independent Posted: 26 Mar 2019 02:48 AM PDT Lucky Shoes, which has operated in the Belden Village shopping district since 1981, is marking 100 years in business. JACKSON TWP. When Joe Luck started selling work boots in 1919, he used a push cart to get his product to Akron rubber workers. Today, family-owned Lucky Shoes has stores in Belden Village, Fairlawn, Strongsville and Columbus, with eight more New Balance locations, four stores featuring Stride Rite shoes and two Vionic locations. John Luck, Lucky Shoes president, represents the fourth generation of the family to lead the business his great grandfather started. Meanwhile, the stores serve the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Joe Luck's early customers. "We know who we are, and we've stuck to it for all these years," John Luck said. The independent shoe retailer strives to offer brands that customers want, while introducing them to a variety of high-quality products, Luck said. "We also ensure the right fits, and we are passionate about that. If we don't have your size, that disappoints us. We feel it in the gut," he said. After starting with the push cart 100 years ago, Joe Luck opened a store front in Akron's Firestone Park neighborhood on the city's south side. In addition to shoes, the store sold yard goods and menswear. Two of Joe Luck's children, Milton and Leonard, took over the business in 1946. In 1955, they opened the family's first shoe-only store in the Fairlawn Plaza, and that set the company's course. Lucky Shoes opened a store in Belden Village in 1981. In 2004, the company moved to its present location at 4828 Everhard Road NW in the Belden Village Commons shopping plaza. Betty Roether, of Perry Township, has worked for Lucky's at its Belden Village locations since the company opened there. She actually was hired by Lucky's in 1976 while still in college after selling Stride Rite shoes while in high school. Roether said Milton Luck, John Luck's grandfather, phoned her mother and asked permission for her daughter to drive to Akron for an interview. Roether said the Lucks offered her an opportunity. "It's a fabulous company." She manages the Belden Village store and trains employees on the store's array of products. "We answer people's needs," Roether said. Lucky stores have certified pedorthists on staff who fill prescriptions from podiatrists and orthopedic doctors for orthotic shoes and inserts. The stores also use a pedigraph to measure a customer's foot, check the arch height and look for pressure points. The specialists help store employees as they work with customers to find the best fit, Luck said. While fit is important, Lucky stores keep pace with changing styles. The company partners with a variety of brands, including Stride Rite for children, New Balance, Vionic and Dansko, among others. Store also carry accessories, including brand name bags and wallets. Luck said he's proud of the business built by his father, grandfather and great-grandfather, but he can't rest on that reputation. "We are always looking forward, always looking to bring the best we can to customers. They expect it from us and it's the right thing to do," he said. Timken plants earn safety awards The South Carolina Manufacturers Association presented 2018 Plant Safety Awards to two Timken Co. factories. Awards went to Timken factories in Gaffney and Honea Path. The Gaffney factory produces tapered roller bearings up to 6 inches, while the Honea Path factory makes tapered roller bearings up to 8 inches, match-bearing assemblies and engineered surface coatings. Timken is committed to maintaining a safe and accident-free workplace. Last year, the company's lost-time-accident rate was the second lowest in its history. The awards are the result of the hard work and commitment of employees in South Carolina, Dan McFadden, director of manufacturing for North American, said in a press release. He congratulated employees, adding: "They exemplify our pledge to operate safely and responsibly everywhere we do business." Pitch your business Looking for some cash to help your business grow?

| The Next Shoes to Drop After the Mueller Report - RealClearPolitics Posted: 26 Mar 2019 02:24 AM PDT  X Story Stream recent articles Footwear aplenty will fall as more details from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's long-awaited report are disclosed. The reckoning will come in several baskets and will fall on Democrats and Republicans alike, with major ramifications for 2020. Basket No. 1: More information about the Mueller Report and the basis for its conclusions. The public wants that information and deserves it. Democrats will cry "coverup" if they don't get everything. While Republicans emphasize "no collusion," Democrats will concentrate their attention on Mueller's indecision regarding President Trump's possible obstruction of justice. Democrats will press Attorney General William Barr about the special counsel's ambiguous conclusion—and Barr's own definitive one--about the obstruction issue. Other Trump critics, who heretofore have described Bob Mueller as a modern-day Eliot Ness, will start crying, "Whitewash!" There are four potential obstacles to releasing the entire report and underlying evidence. Some of it may be classified, some protected by grand jury secrecy, and some may reflect badly on people Mueller declined to charge. The president could also claim executive privilege, but probably won't because doing so is perilous politically. Perilous, too, is the Democrats' insistent demand for transparency. The investigation was thorough – and lasted more than the first half of Trump's four-year term. More evidence might only reinforce Trump's claim he's entirely innocent. He'll pound that home. Basket No. 2: Will House Democrats push ahead with other investigations of Trump? The short answer is: Yes. The big decision is how long they will keep it up. The liberal donor base loves it, but most voters do not. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi knows that and wants to protect her majority, which depends on swing districts. But she can't control the party's vocal left wing or its independent committee chairs, particularly Jerry Nadler and Adam Schiff. Basket No. 3: Expect serious backlash as voters ask, "Who led us down this rabbit hole?" Average voters—not on the extremes in either party—are bound to ask that question. The Democrats and their media allies have made "Russia Collusion" their top story line for two years. If they persist on that course instead of focusing on health care, income inequality, and foreign enemies, they look like Inspector Javert, or, worse, Inspector Clouseau. The mainstream media are already badly damaged. They followed the same path and, in the process, obliterated the once-sacred line between reporting and opinion. Basket No. 4: Did the FBI, Department of Justice, and intelligence agencies commit their own wrongdoing? This final basket overflows with shoes that could drop. The cascade may well begin with three upcoming reports from DoJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz likely to result in grand jury investigations. So will the documents that Trump could declassify and release. (He's been waiting for the Mueller investigation to end.) To restore faith in the rule of law, prosecutions cannot be seen as political retaliation. Accountability for law enforcement and intelligence agencies should be pursued by apolitical career prosecutors and made as transparent as possible. The slap-dash investigation of Hillary Clinton's email shenanigans must be thoroughly reviewed. Her aides received unprecedented immunity without giving evidence; their computers and cellphones were destroyed; and the principal herself was cleared before an interview with her was conducted. Who really made the decision not to prosecute? James Comey says he did. But FBI lawyer Lisa Page testified under oath that the order came from the Department of Justice. This discrepancy must be resolved, along with the obvious questions raised by the original decision. How high up did it go? Did it reach the Obama White House? Who unmasked the countless U.S. citizens whose names came up during foreign surveillance operations? Who illegally leaked them? Expect to learn about FBI and intelligence agencies' efforts to penetrate the Trump campaign. Who was behind it? On what evidence did they base it? We also need to know a lot more about the warrant to spy on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. He is a U.S. citizen, entitled to those protections, and had cooperated freely with our intelligence community. But the FBI decided on secret surveillance. It came up empty. Was the surveillance warrant against Page obtained on false pretenses? This would be the case if the foreign intelligence court (FISA) was given inaccurate, incomplete, and unverified information. That is almost certainly what happened, and the evidence needs to be fleshed out. How important was the "Russian dossier" compiled by Christopher Steele at the direction of Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS? Why wasn't its funding by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee disclosed to the courts? Why didn't the warrant-seekers disclose Steele's bias, which was known to the FBI? Why did top law-enforcement officials certify the dossier as verified when it was not? To compound this mess, why wasn't the court given exculpatory evidence, as required? While the court was being told one thing, Donald Trump was being told another. Comey specifically told Trump the dossier was not verified. That's not in dispute. Nor is the leak that immediately followed the briefing. Until then, media outlets had declined to mention the dossier because it looked so unreliable. A presidential briefing made it newsworthy. The story was bound to damage Trump, which was apparently the reason for the briefing. This matters not only because the leak was illegal but because it appears to have been part of a coordinated effort by law-enforcement agencies to undermine a presidential candidate and duly-elected president. We need to know what happened—all of it—and then hold people accountable. If laws need to be changed to prevent its repetition, pass them. After all this time, the FBI still refuses to say what started the Trump investigations. It won't say if agents tried to entrap people associated with the campaign. It won't say why it did not warn Trump that Russians might be trying to penetrate his campaign. Contrast that with the kid-glove treatment of Dianne Feinstein, ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, when her driver was found to be a Chinese spy. She was privately informed and the staffer quietly removed. Those are major, unanswered questions. They are central to the rule of law, and there are far too many of them. The answers are likely to pose serious problems for top officials in President Obama's DoJ, FBI, and intelligence agencies. A boatload of shoes is about to drop.  |
