This morning in our Blacksburg office, I came across this slideshow on MSN picturing the ugliest shoes of all time. Can I just say, they are some weird looking shoes available and I'm going to hope the designers did this for fun and not to actually sell them!
So let's take a vote- which pair of shoes do you think is the ugliest? In the comments, write the name of the shoe and we'll tally them to up to find the absolute ugliest shoe in the world!

What Do Podiatrists and Pedometers Have In Common?
They both involve FEET!
- Dr. Kate Steklachich
Health experts- myself included- say 10,000 steps a day is the magic number to get (or stay) on the healthy track. Side effects include increase in energy, weight loss and less frequent sickness (<- I’d take those side effects any day!)
One tip to obtain these “side effects” is to keep track! Make sure you record your total number of steps per day to keep yourself accountable. You might be expecting these results when you assume you’ve walked that amount each day when in reality it’s only been 7,500 or 8,000 steps. If you’re really looking for weight loss, go ahead and write down your food intake daily and you might see double digits lost on the scale sooner rather than later!
If you find any pain after your daily walks, make sure to see a podiatrist as soon as possible so you can get back on your feet!
