Mizuno: Truth in Running

“Going for a run.” It sounds so simple, almost mechanical somehow. It’s as if going for a run were just the next thing happening and nothing more. But it is more. According to Mizuno, there is Truth in running—and that’s with a capital T.   

If you are a runner of any regularity and/or distance, you have probably touched on the Truth at the core of the Mizuno philosophy. There is a transcendent moment that can only be truly understood in the first person. It’s the moment when the connection between runner and running surface becomes effortless, and the rhythms of heartbeat, breath and footfall all fall into perfect syncopation. It feels like it could go on forever; like it has been going on forever.

Magnum Boots: For People Who Get It Done

Men's Magnum Boots

These are boots for people that get stuff done. You know the type; the folks that have a plan for the day and just seem to have a motor in them. They may wear other shoes when it’s time to relax, but when it’s doing time, it’s time for Magnum boots. These great-looking boots are crafted in full-grain leather and ballistic nylon mesh, and they come in any color you choose—as long as you choose black or tan.

12 Days of Giving: Wrap-up

This Contest Closed

The 12 Days of Giving may be over now, but they sure were fun while they lasted. If you haven’t yet had an opportunity to go through the comments, we’d like to encourage you to do so. Each new day and new question brought in hundreds of comments from around the country. Some were sweet and heartfelt while others were funny; we had some sad ones, some silly ones, and some very, very short ones. All in all, it was great to be able to step into your world and share a bit of the holidays with you.

We learned a little something, too. You just can’t read almost three thousand comments without picking up a few common threads. Most of you came back more than once to participate in the 12 Days of Giving, and a few of you even made it to all 12 Days. It could be fun to put together all 12 answers from the same person and see how they summed up the holidays. Hmm, maybe after the holiday rush.

It’s day eleven of the 12 Days of Giving and it’s time for a little free time. It’s the holidays after all, and there is plenty of running around that needs to be done. Of course, there is absolutely no reason you can’t do it in style, so we are featuring great shoes from Tsubo today.

For the women, we have the Tsubo Cusus bootie. This snappy little number could take you from work to the mall to dinner with friends, and not even blink once. It’s as comfortable as it is versatile and features a full grain leather upper and EVA padding in the footbed. And don’t worry if it gets a little slick out, Tsubo has covered the sole of the Cusus with clever little traction pods.

It’s day ten of the 12 Days of Giving and it’s time to get outside. We don’t mean running from the front door to the car door, we mean oh-you-tee, out…outside…out of doors. It’s time to grab your coat and see where real boots go to play. This is exactly the sort of weather that calls for great winter boots from Columbia. And that’s exactly what we are giving away. If your name is selected you get to choose either one of the two Columbia Bugaboot Plus styles we are featuring today.

The women’s Columbia Bugaboot Plus features a waterproof suede upper and injection-molded waterproof thermal rubber shell. They are sturdy, comfortable and have a couple hundred grams of Columbia’s Omni-Heat® insulation packed inside for toaster-level warmth. Plus, they are pretty sweet looking winter boots.

It’s day eight of the 12 Days of Giving and it’s time for us to draw a little winter holiday scene for you. Picture this: you’ve got nowhere else to be for hours and hours; you’re sitting in front of a crackling fire, sipping the finest hot cocoa you’ve ever made, wearing slippers and listening to the wind push through the trees. Aaaah, now that is the kind of winter people can support. And  Giesswein can make the dream happen…well…at least the part about the slippers. I mean, how would they even know if you had a fireplace? What they do know all about is slippers, and when it comes to making dream-worthy slippers, Giesswein is something of a genius.

Today’s giveaway features two classic styles from which the winner can choose. The women’s Giesswein Ammern is a backless, mule-style wool slipper. They are the absolute definition of wearability and easy style. Like all of Giesswein’s slippers, the Ammern is designed to keep your feet comfortable and your toes toasty.

It’s day seven of the 12 Days of Giving and the chill in the air tells us that it is definitely time for toasty footwear in the Pacific Northwest, and probably in your neighborhood as well. Or at least we’re hoping so, because we have some great styles from Sorel to give away today. Sorel has been making some of the finest boots and shoes in the world since 1908, and the craftsmanship shows in every pair they make. They’re versatile, durable and designed to deliver comfort and warmth in horrible weather conditions. Okay, maybe horrible is too strong of a word to use around all you winter lovers out there; perhaps yucky is better. But Sorels can handle the horrible, just FYI.

The giveaway today features two great styles from which to choose. The first is the women’s Sorel Tivoli™; it’s the perfect urban shoe and offers the warmth and protection of a snow boot. It has a cozy fleece lining, is waterproof and absolutely boot-tastic, which is now a word.

It’s day six of the 12 Days of Giving and we are going international with authentic clogs from Sanita, the creator of the original Danish clog. We have to believe that the Danes know a little something about cool weather comfort, so this giveaway is looking pretty good as winter rolls in.

We know what you’re thinking, that you’ll have to go all the way to Denmark to get your pair of Sanitas. Well, there is some good (and we hope not surprising) news—we have the perfect Sanita clogs right here, ready for our winner.   The giveaway today features the women’s Sanita Croco Bordeaux Clog, which is gorgeous. The Bordeaux Patent Croco has a sophisticated and versatile look and a lovely contoured footbed for great support. I wonder what the word for “yummy” is in Denmark.
