Like most fashion girlies, I have a thing for shoes. But being a New Yorker, I’ve also been forced to categorize my footwear collection into walkable (meaning appropriate for the city I live in) and aspirational (aka better for L.A. or anywhere that I’ll primarily be in a car) options. But just because a style fits into the first group doesn’t mean it’s a boring or beleaguered runner-up in my closet. On the contrary, I live for finding the season’s most comfortable and stylish shoes, and in the summer that obviously means open-toe designs. Fisherman sandals in particular are my latest shoe du jour, and according to my social media feeds, I’m not the only one obsessed with this perfect transitional style. While I was all about daintier shoe styles like Mary Janes Hoka One One during the ...

Stephen Curry took some social media flak in the past for his shoes, which, at times, have been considered boring. Those giggles have died down with newer models, but one thing is still the same: they are loud. Yes, loud. As in, the shoes squeak loudly on the court, and that is by design. According to two people who work at Under Armour, Teva Sandals the squeak is one of the most important features for Curry.

"He likes comfort," Neumann told ThePostGame. "He loves the squeak of traction on the court. He really likes that squeak." Ezra Shaw/Getty Images Like...

In recent years it’s been tough times for the Seattle psyche. So it’s understandable why on Saturday some 4,000 volunteers were ready for a little feel-good. They had signed up for Mayor Bruce Harrell’s One Seattle Day of Service, which meant sprucing up the city, from picking up litter to painting over graffiti and Running Shoes pulling up weeds from street medians. That’s what Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and his wife, Glena Carroll, were doing in the morning along First Avenue in Pioneer Square. Pulling up weeds. Earlier, speaking to over 200 volunteers who had gathered at Occidental Park to kick off the day, the coach told them, “This is a great community, there’s no doubt.” Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll uses a stencil and spray paint to mark on a First Avenu...

In my experience, everyone who tries on a pair of Allbirds sneakers is instantly converted to a superfan. Last Christmas, for instance, my mom gifted each family member a pair of the brand's eco-friendly shoes, and now none of us can imagine life without them — and we're not alone. Celebrities like Courteney Cox, Hilary Duff, Blake Lively, and Lucy Hale have been spotted in the ultra-comfy lace-ups, and Mila Kunis has even been rocking her Allbirds Tree Dasher 2s from as early as 2018. So, of course, when I learned about Allbirds' just-launched Hey Dudes Shoes running shoes, I (along with everyone in my family group chat) was immediately stoked. Described by the company as "the most technically advanced shoe Allbirds has ever released," the Allbirds Tree Flyer was designed f...
