May 26th. Got a new blog template that I envision to be the be-all and end-all of blog design, but there will be a gradual phasing in of links and whatnot. I could have done all this offline and popped it in when perfected, but I already accidentally burned that bridge (long story) It will be quite cool when done, but of course that will exceed my attention span several times over, so bear with me.

My new shoes must be most excellent because they are from the “Exalto” series, they have a “Drilex” lining and a “Phylon” midsole. Sheesh! what planet did they come from.
Seriously though, they have great arch support, and the lacing system is wonderful, the top eyelet is an actual eyelet instead of halfhearted hook that releases the lace as soon as you take your shoes off- These shoes are always fully laced and ready to tie & go, no fumbling with hooks.
They also have webbing most of the way up the tongue, so if I am out mucking around in the woods looking for a geo-cache, my feet stay dry.
Overall they are well built and comfortable, I thought the high arches would be a problem but I just got back from my warehouse job, first night with these shoes and my feet don’t hurt. Lastly, the Michelin name- now I can say, “Well, I put a few more miles on my Michelins” at the end of the shift, you would be surprised how hard it is to come up with shift-change repartee for the day shift people coming in, all bleary eyed and cranky from the traffic. I couldn’t live like that.

Dear Teresa,
I had purchased a pair of Dr. Scholl’s sneakers from the Wall mart in Mechanicsburg PA about two weeks ago and I am already having problems with them falling apart and they are not supporting my feet.
I am NOT very happy with this product.
In my opinion this product is not very good. my old sneakers witch was a K Mart brand held up better than the Dr. Scholl’s
Thank you for your time
Sincerely
Hollyanna A.
Dear Hollyanna,
I can’t say this is the case with Dr. Scholl’s products, but WalMart has so much purchasing leverage, that sometimes they will force name-brand producers of consumer goods to produce cheaper goods to meet their price points; So the Dr. Scholl’s you get at another store may not be the same, even if the packaging looks the same. Anyway, that’s what I heard.
Anyway, you should take them back to the store and get a refund as soon as possible. If enough people return shoddy items, it will become unprofitable for them to cut those particular corners. If they give you a hard time, get loud. Good luck, Teresa@therestlessmouse.com
