Take “Earth” — the big ball of clay we call home, add “keeper” — a protector or guardian and you've got someone who cares about the environment - Timberland's Earthkeepers.

Timberland realizes that by manufacturing products, they're part of the problem. Solution? Timberland took a look at how the way they do business affects the environment and did something about it.

Timberland is cutting back their plant and distribution center emissions, using renewable energy and putting more organic and recycled materials in their gear.

Walking the Walk - 2nd Annual Hi-Tec Adventure Click for details]

Sure, some companies like to just tell you about the products they sell, but we like to put our feet where our mouth is (so to speak) by putting our products to the test using the most demanding outdoor enthusiasts around: us!

So after thoroughly forgetting the aches the initial hike imposed on us one year ago, 30 of us from the marketing and merchandising teams laced up our Hi-Tec hiking boots, slipped on our moisture-wicking Lorpen socks, adjusted our Leki hiking poles, and set off for Rattlesnake Ridge in Washington’s picturesque Cascade Mountains.

The smart ones strolled along the pristine mountain lake at the bottom, while the rest of us decided we not only needed to sweat, we needed to sweat at an elevation 1,175 feet up. After all, we go to great lengths (and apparently heights) to see how our boots do in the real world.

It was, as they say, a hike. And yes, some of us were wondering how the heck we got talked into this “walk in the woods” as we abashedly got passed by grandmothers and dachshunds. But then we remembered that we weren’t sitting at our desks navigating Vista on our computers, we were out navigating the trail for a natural vista.

But the best thing? While we constantly thought about our protesting muscles as we climbed up for 40-minutes, we barely gave a second thought to our feet in our Hi-Tec boots. Which, if you think about it, is exactly how good hiking shoes should be: Navigating the rocky climb perfectly so that we could concentrate on the scenery and good friends around us (plus, the latest office gossip) as we reached our destination.

And what a destination it was. It was scenic, it was tranquil, it was breathtaking…literally breathtaking as we collapsed, catching said breath before our decent. But as we stood there in our Hi-Tec trail shoes basking in our accomplishment, each of us knew we were already planning our next great adventure.

See ya on the trails!

Green Silence: Eco-friendly meets fast! Click for details]

There is one truth in running: shoes wear out.  No matter how much you love your favorite pair, sooner or later they break down, go kaput and end up in the back of your closet, piled amidst the graveyard of sneakers from miles past. 

Yes, like all things, shoes die.

As a devoted, semi-competitive runner, I go through my fair share of sneakers.  Some get relegated to lawn and garden duty, some get washed and donated, and others, not fit for humanity, end up in the trash.  I know that there are countless other runners just like me and that means that each year millions of running shoes get thrown away.

It’s no happy thought that mountains of shoes end up in landfills each year.  To Brooks, that’s no secret.  When it comes to developing running gear with environmental consciousness and eco-sustainability in mind, Brooks has led the way.

Brooks announced last week the upcoming launch of the Green Silence, a hey-mom-look-how-fast-I-can-run competition racing flat that boasts a sustainable element in each part of the shoe.  By using soy-based inks, water-based adhesives, and recycled materials, the Green Silence was able to incorporate sustainability—without sacrificing performance.

In recent years, Brooks has declared its dedication to introducing more eco-friendly design and manufacturing practices as well as more sustainable materials. In 2008, Brooks launched its proprietary BioMoGo midsole, the world’s first biodegradable running shoe midsole that breaks down 50 times faster than traditional midsoles in an enclosed, active landfill.  The Green Silence represents another chapter in Brooks’ commitment to environmental responsibility.

“We were told Brooks couldn’t build running shoes that feel great, perform great, look great, and support a healthier environment for years ahead,” said Future Concepts Manager, Derek Campbell. “With Green Silence, we shattered that belief. We hope this shoe will serve as an inspiration to others in our industry and beyond.”

The growing pile of shoes in the back of my closet, weighing evermore heavy on my conscious, hopes so too.

The Green Silence hits retail February 1, 2010.

The best 3 things about Earth Exer-Fit sandals. Click for details]

The best 3 things about Earth Exer-Fit sandals.  An insider's take on obsession-worthy products and trends for style that pops.

We all know that walking is good for us, but a long trek can feel daunting, especially in summer weather. We want to wear flip-flops, not bulky walking shoes, and it's too hot for an intense power-walk.

That's why I like the idea of getting the most out of everyday excursions. The Exer-Fit™ sandal makes even a walk around the supermarket an opportunity to strengthen and tone. Every time you slip into this sandal, your foot is positioned in a way that encourages your body to burn more calories. This unique construction also minimizes back pain, corrects posture, and exercises your core and legs.

While the health benefits of the Exer-Fit™ are important and impressive, let's get down to the three nitty-gritty best things about this sandal.

Thing One:
Adjustability.
The Exer-Fit™ has a wide forefoot area and an adjustable upper. The combination of those two features means that almost any foot can find a comfortable fit.

Thing Two:
Color palette.
I love that you can get the Exer-Fit™ in a deep rose, a lovely green, a basic black, or three different metallics. The cuteness factor is seriously elevated by metallic stripes on the adjustable strap; it's a sporty look that's also distinctively feminine.

Thing Three:
Eco-friendliness.
Earth uses water-based adhesives and recycled materials. That makes the planet a happier place.

Shoegazer: Alternatives for my Chucks Click for details]

Everyday I get up and look at my huddle of Chucks near the door. I live in Seattle, I own many pairs of Chucks, and I've given up on wearing them. I like the look, I like the feel on the ankle when I put them on, I like what they stand for—but I've found myself feeling discomfort in Chucks after five or six blocks. Jarring discomfort. In the ankle. In the back. In the back of my head when I realize I've been wearing the exact same shoes for more than a decade.

Happily, I work for a place that offers solutions. Here are Chuck alternatives that can allow you comfort, and, well, a chance to be an adult.

My first selection is even more classic than Chucks: the famed PF Flyers. These are cool because they go back to 1937, so they keep credibility, and then some. They also have a cameo in a movie from my childhood, The Sandlot. And they feel a little more luxurious, a little more complex, and offer more support. Check out these black leather classics.

PF Flyer Classic Hi Leather shoes for men
There are two other vaguely Chuck-like shoes that lean toward more comfort, stability, and just grown-upness. One is Australian surf-culture-inspired UGG Australia's new offering, the Rockaway. It's stylish, but boasts the ridiculous comfort UGG Australia built their reputation on.

UGG Australia Rockaway for men
Finally, there's a rugged shoe that to me looks influenced by the Chuck. Made by Merrell, the Barcelona is the kind of shoe Hemingway would wear to shoot rhinos and baskets, or type really hard, if he felt like it.

Men's Merrell Barcelona shoes
All of this is to say that we can abandon our Chucks, but keep some of that style as we move on to an age of walking that extra block without tweaking the ankle or back.

Perfect-fit, warm-weather footwear Click for details]

No Two Feet Are Alike, and that includes your own.

It would be terrific if we were all wealthy enough to be able to afford bespoke (custom-made) shoes, wouldn't it? And I might as well ask for the leprechaun cobbler (shoe-maker, not fruity dessert) while I'm at it.

I have endured a lifetime of footwear heartbreak: My feet are healthy, yes, but wide with a high instep, a fairly narrow heel, and stubby toes. Picture Hobbit feet without the extra fur.

A few years ago I was at a friend's house and decided to rearrange the wrought-iron patio furniture with the little toe on my left foot—just before taking a late-May trip to Washington D.C. Whether it was broken or merely sprained I don't know, but the painful swelling necessitated accommodating, hot-weather-friendly footwear: I decided to try the Chaco Z/2 sport sandal with the Terreno sole, the predecessor to the lighter-weight Unaweep sole now offered. (The Z/2 design features a toe loop that provides outstanding forefoot stability, but if you can't stand anything between your toes, go for the Z/1.)

The single, pull-through webbed strap design means that, with a little fiddling the first time you put them on, you can adjust the sandal from every angle for a customized fit every time, no matter how much bigger your feet might be at the end of a long day. The BioCentric™ footbed—which has been awarded the Seal of Acceptance by the American Podiatric Medical Association—is textured for grip and contoured for cradling, pronation-controlling support, especially through the arches. It promotes a correct stride, helps reduce injury, and improves posture. The textured Vibram® Unaweep outsole lends stability over all manner of terrain. Feel like dipping your toes into cool water without taking your shoes off? No problem. Wade right in; you'll dry off soon enough.

Best of all, some Chaco styles, including the Z/1 and Z/2, are offered in wide, too. For summertime wear, whether I'm walking outdoors or in an air-conditioned mall, this is my go-to sandal for a perfect fit. Hallelujah!

Famous Styles - Jessica Simpson Click for details]

Relentlessly tracking what makes celebrities so special and how you can buy it more cheaply.  Famous styles: Jessica Simpson.

Jessica Simpson and her bodacious bod soared to fame on Barbie-blond wings when she was just 19. She had a couple platinum and gold albums, married a dreamy boy-band singer, and sealed her place in the pop-culture lexicon with a reality show that documented the first few (and as it turns out, only) years of her marriage to Nick Lachey. 

Since then our bright-eyed heroine has had a some setbacks: The fairytale marriage fizzled, the hits didn't keep on coming, and Jessica was (gasp!) photographed slightly exceeding the Hollywood weight limit (100 pounds, no exceptions). After getting her heart trounced by a string of high-profile actor-musician-whatever types, she found a steady man, this time a dreamy quarterback, but even that has problems: his fans think Jessica's bad luck at games.

What's a girl to do? Well, for starters, she can walk tall and carry a big bag. Jessica Simpson's line of shiny shoes and roomy totes will help any woman get through her own version of being photographed by In Touch magazine wearing unflattering jeans. Apply her pluck to your own life and be thankful you never said you thought Buffalo wings were actually from buffalos.

Did John Mayer dump you? You'll look fantastic walking out of his life and into the nearest limo in the Milla boot.

"Wonderland" was okay, but they don't call him John Player for nothing.

Pop music career not treating you right? Switch over to country crooning with the Hyde Large Hobo.

Jessica Simpson Hyde Large Hobo bag for women

Big dreams need a big bag and a Texas girl is more Nashville than L.A. anyway.

Are your boyfriend's fans booing when you come to games? Next time the Dallas QB takes you on vacation to Mexico right before an important playoff game, let the paparazzi catch you in the Carsi sandal .

Hey, it's really not your fault that you're so distractingly beautiful that your boyfriend can't concentrate at work.

The 3 best things about... Click for details]

UGG Australia sandals.   An insider's take on obsession-worthy products and trends for style that pops.  

Thing One: Letting toes out for air. We know that cozy sheepskin in UGG Australia boots can be worn year-round, but sometimes I want to let my toes wiggle in the sunshine. The Fluffie flip-flop and other UGG Australia sandals with full sheepskin footbeds are 100% warm-weather-friendly. Plus, they feel so luxurious that I want a pair for slippers and a pair to wear out. The price on these cuties is low enough to make doubling up possible. A matching pedicure is in order. 

Thing Two: A casual chic vibe. UGG Australia's comfort-focused styles, like the gladiator-inspired Morocco, are perfect for around-town wear. I love the idea of slipping into these for Sunday brunching, shopping, and ambling along city streets. The Hollywood starlets love them, too, for a spotlight-worthy level of put-together panache and laid-back style.

Thing Three: Taking your fashion sense to new heights. UGG Australia is known for that fabulously fuzzy sheepskin, but its absence is no reason to ignore the fur-less cork wedge sandals, including the Hazel slingback. With super-supple suede uppers in thong or slide styles, these beauties feel indulgently comfortable and transition easily from a day at the beach to an evening around town.

Giveaway: Where will you UGG this summer? Click for details]

Onlineshoes.tv decided to heat up one lucky reader's summer by giving away a free pair of UGG Australia sandals.  Our contest was simple - we wanted to know which pair of UGG Australia sandals you were hot for and where you were planning to show off this summer in comfort and style that's uniquely UGG.

Okay, so maybe it wasn’t so easy to pick just one pair of UGG Australia sandals - they’re all smoking hot!

Hundreds rose to the challenge, and of the many one winner was randomly selected…

While I love the look of the Matala I really need a back strap so I would definitely choose the Halendi in black/black, they look so comfortable. I would wear them everywhere as they can be played down with a casual capri look or worn with a nice summer dress. Very changeable-to-fit-my-need looking pair of sandals. - Kelli

Congrats Kelli, we hope you enjoy your new UGG Australia Halendi sandals – they're sure to keep you feeling cool and looking hot!

Big-footed Woman Seeking Sole-mate Click for details]

Women are to shopping as moths are to light; instinctively attracted. And although there is a certain delight, adrenaline or euphoria associated with the act of acquiring fashionable adornments for one’s self, it seems that all women have one thing that plagues their shopping excursions.

Generally, swimsuits, brassieres and jeans top the list - having the most potential to turn what should be a pleasant experience into a painful and depressing one. My heart bleeds out to my fellow female consumers when I see the distinctly recognizable look of exhaustion and defeat painted across their faces as they storm in and out of the dressing room with armloads of varying styles, cuts and sizes, desperately seeking to find just one that will cater to their unique shape. And unfortunately, I am no exception to this shopping woe. But for me, it is not denim or two-pieces, it is shoes.

I have big feet and always have. It’s not that they are freakishly abnormal, or frighteningly disproportionate to my body, they are simply large. Size 10, or 10.5 wide, to be exact. And to those blessed with average-sized feet, this may not seem worth crying over. But, in the world of designer pumps, kitten heels and strappy sandals, I have always been an outsider, and in turn, have been forced to live a life restricted to tennis shoes and flip-flops.

For some unexplainable reason, retailers seem to think that women with size 10 feet, and beyond, prefer styles that can be found in my grandmother’s closet, which they cleverly term “comfort shoes.” And so, when I visit my local department store in the hopes of finding new footwear, the scenario always plays out the same way…

I enter the shoe area, envisioning success and reciting positive affirmations. Then I start by browsing; picking out the pairs that call to my deepest desires and guiltiest pleasures, when I am approached by a cheery salesman, who asks, “Can I help you?” I wonder if he knows what he is getting himself into as I hesitantly agree and begin pointing out what I would like to try. Then comes the question I dread most, “And, what size can I get for you?” Through my experience I have come to accept the fact that once a woman reaches a size 10, half sizes cease to exist. So I say, “10.” Suddenly, the expression of the smiling salesman morphs into a look of bewilderment, and I know what will happen next. None of my choices will be in a 10, so he will optimistically suggest a 9.5, which I will politely refuse for the sake of my psyche. Next, he will suggest styles that they do have in a 10, attempting to convince me that they are similar to my selections – which they never are. I will politely humor him and try them anyway. But inevitably, after hours of disappointment, I will leave empty-handed, and pursue comfort from my dear old friends Ben and Jerry.

It is this repetitive experience that made me a self-proclaimed “shoe victim.” But I tried to look past it – “I may not have cute shoes, but I do have a winning personality,” I would tell myself. And so, I had ultimately accepted a life deprived of fashionable footwear, until the day that fate stepped in, and I was introduced to my sole-mate.
 
Big-footed sisters, take note: it is time to kick off the “comfort shoes” and step into a pair of heels, without the psychological torment of visiting the retailer, or the discomfort of forcing your toes into a smaller size.

Onlineshoes.com offers the wide-footed women of the world something that many of us desire – options. Among my favorites are Sofft, Softspots and J. Renee.

Sofft has a plethora of wide styles for any occasion and a selection that is suitable for work or an evening out.

To step into spring, Softspots collection of wide sandals combine style and comfort.

The narrow heel and flashy designs of J. Renee are perfect for those days when you want to celebrate your femininity.

Amanda J. is Onlineshoes.com's corporate receptionist extraordinaire and proud to be blessed with both style and big feet.
