Ugliest Shoes of All Time!

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!

Ugliest Shoes in the World!

Martin Luther King Jr Day

Today we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. who used his most precious feet to fight for freedom and called others to use their feet to stand up for what they believe in. Remember those who have walked to bring about the changes that we get to enjoy today. Never underestimate the power you have to make positive changes in our world and know that with belief, creativity, and ingenuity anything is possible!!!

World Diabetes Day

World Diabetes Day is held to raise awareness of how diabetes can affect your everday life. We stress how diabetics should routinely visit our office because they tend to lose feeling in the feet and therefore may have stepped on something, developed an ulcer, have a wart and aren't aware of it. Also, diabetics need to be especially careful about clipping their toenails and removing any calluses on their feet. Extreme complications can arise if this isn't done correctly.
Here is more information on what diabetic foot care entails.

Also, younger diabetics should annually visit our both our Blacksburg and Roanoke offices as well! They need to make sure their feet are healthy and there aren't any complications that have happened in the past year which could have harmful side effects.
