This Week in Shoes
Posted on August 24th, 2008 by Shomore under This week in shoesOlympic withdrawal is already starting to hit me. So how about we extended the memories a bit more with a look back at some of this week’s Olympic shoe news:
- Shoe promise inspires Becki Adlington to Olympic gold - Via The Mirror
- Remember how Usain Bolt kissed his shoes after winning gold? Puma is denying that the kiss was deliberate - Via Times of India
Usain Bolt wore the Puma Theseus II shoes during the record breaking events. They are available in white and blue at Zappos for $104. Disclaimer: Individual results will vary
- Knowing the Chinese have a penchant for giant sized shoes, the Beijing Olympics would not be complete without Olympic mascot shoes. - Via The Official Beijing 2008 Olympic Games website
- A touch of gold. No, make that a splash. A big-belly-splash of gold.
- Shoe Downdown: Hilary Duff or Becki Newton in Manolo’s Peep Toe Booties?
- Friday Shoe History Corner: The fastest shoes in the world are … golden
- Happy Monday!
- Nicholas Kirkwood: Pumps taking flight

They’re Chinese. And well at the moment I am more amazed with the HUGE shoe than the golden ones, as I am tired of seeing them everywhere.
