Customer Review: Crocs Ace Golf Shoes
I consider these golf shoes to be a minor miracle. With Crocs Aces, I can now walk nine holes of golf without foot pain, something I've been unable to do for at least the past ten years. I've worn golf shoes from FootJoy, Etonic, New Balance, Nike and others but never without forefoot pain until the Crocs Aces. They are comfortable, have good traction, and keep my feet dry in damp grass. I've worn them for more than a dozen rounds (nine holes) and so far they seem to be reasonably durable although I don't expect to get more than one season out of them. But at this price I have no problem with that -- I'll just buy a new pair next year. Note that they fit smaller than Crocs Caymans. Also, based on a review I read elsewhere, I always wear socks with the Aces.


What are high quality boots? We know brand names that are associated with quality for example Doc Martins. In the past they have been so well thought of that the police and the military have used them. We all know this, if not consciously, then unconsciously. The name Doc Martins is another word for excellent footwear.

But how do we really know that they are good quality. We are basically relying on there reputation and probably don't study the seam and the weight of the boot itself. It's a pair of Docs so why not buy them. Everyone else does. This article is going to give a brief overview of what to look for when buying high quality boots.

First all have a look at the heel. The boot may look very nice from the top with just the style you are looking for, but a real quality boot will have a leather heel. If you look closely at the heel you can see that the leather is stacked. This is a mark of quality. Cheaper shoes tend to have laminated heels.

The stitching is also a major factor. We all know the famous yellow stitching of Doc Martins, yet if we look closely at this stitching we will see it is very intricate, and if weren't for the color would hardly be noticeable. Cheaper shoes tend to have bigger stitching that not only looks unattractive but also comes apart after a short space of time. Boots don't have to be perfect. The main aim for a shoemaker is to get it to fit the feet. That's where the real quality comes in.

So by far the best way to check the quality of the boot is to try it on. But don't just sit there admiring the style, walk around the shop. A good quality shoe or boot should be comfortable. There should be absolutely no rubbing on your feet and you should feel support on the ankles.

Remember though to think why you are buying the shoes. They maybe of fantastic quality, but if you buy Doc Martins for mountain climbing they just won't last. Hiking boots are best for this and for these you maybe looking for slightly different features. For example grip and cushioning.

If you want quality shoes you will mostly like have to pay a lot of money for them. Real boot makers no doubt make the best quality handmade shoes. You can also get excellent quality in specialist shops that have a small client focus. Shops like this tend to try and attract people that want quality, so have a look. Discount shoe shops will not necessarily be of the highest quality, but this in the cheap prices.

Bandolino Women's Soroca Pump

The Soroca from Bandolino is a sleek, dressy loafer with a rounded tow design on a high heel. Features beautiful stitched detail.


Individual style should be applauded. It takes guts, personality and confidence to pull off certain looks, and anyone who expresses their individual style with gusto should be proud. But there are a few fashion no-no's that should really be avoided at all costs, because, let's face it, they just don't look good on anyone. Be a fashion do by following these fashion don'ts.

1. Socks And Sandals
Just don't do it, it really doesn't look good. I understand wanting to be comfortable, but if socks are truly necessary, put on a pair of cute tennies or slip ons. Better yet, find a pair of sandals that are comfortable enough to wear without socks. Oh, and don't even think about wearing black socks up to your knees with shorts and any type of shoes. I won't even get into my opinion on Crocs at this point, but let's just say that unless you're gardening, I wouldn't recommend those either.

2. Your Underwear Peeking Out Of Your Pants
Ok, So Brittany Spears did it, and so did various other teen stars and it was cool for a while. Let me give you a hint: unless you actually look like Brittany Spears, you probably can't pull it off. Even if you can pull it off, there's a difference between letting your thong hang out on stage in front of thousands of fans an paparazzi, and showing it off at the grocery store or in line at the movie theater. Trust me, no one wants to see it, and people are probably making fun of you as soon as you're out of earshot.

3. Wearing The Baggiest Clothes You Can Find
No matter what size you are, you are going to look better in clothes that actually fit you, rather than big, baggy clothes meant to hide your figure. Beauty is not size dependent, and most people will tell you that a person of any size who looks fashionable and put together always looks better than someone in baggy clothes that looks like they are wearing a tent. Find a style that works for your body type, and that you like and be proud of it. The more confident you are in your own body and style, the more people will be drawn to you and appreciate you for who you are and your individual style. Sit on a bench at the mall for a couple of hours watching people go by. Who looks great, and who looks like a slob? Find a role model and try to emulate them. If all else fails, watch a few dozen episodes of What Not To Wear, and see resistant fashion disasters morph into beautiful, put together people.

4. Over-accessorizing, or Not Accessorizing at All
Even the best outfit can benefit from a few well placed accessories. A great handbag, and nice necklace and some simple earrings can easily take an outfit from ok to fabulous. They don't have to match, they just have to be in the same or a complimentary color family. But a word of warning: don't overdo it. Great big dangly earrings, 4 necklaces, 3 inches of arm bangles and a huge, sparkly handbag is going just a bit overboard. Keep it simple, but interesting, and make sure that your accessories compliment your outfit, not overpower it.

5. Being Self Conscious About Your Style
Above all, find a style that you love (and of course that follows all of the above mentioned rules). Wear colors that make you happy, and styles that make you feel beautiful. The absolute worst thing you can do is wear clothes that make you feel uncomfortable, or that you don't love. Clothes and accessories are meant to be fun, that's why there are so many choices. Don't buy something just because it's on sale, all of those meaningless purchases could be traded for one fantastic piece that you adore, and will last a long time. Buy pieces that are classic, as well as a few trendier items that can be mixed and matched. You will never regret spending a little more on a great pair of black pants that will last for years, and you can update them every season with a new top or some jewelry.

Find your inner diva, and express your style for the world to admire by following these simple rules. A Little fashion knowledge can go a long way in allowing you to express yourself to the world in a positive, confident way.
