Mar 3rd
Skechers has been around since the mid 1990′s. In fact the founder of the Skechers company was once on the board of directors for LA Gear. If you remember LA Gear, good luck finding a pair in any shoe stores today, but what you will find is the popularity of Skechers athletic shoes to be growing almost exponentially. Skechers started out mainly geared toward utility type boots and skate shoes, but quickly branched out into fashion and athletic shoes as well. Skechers athletic shoes can be found all over the world in a variety of specialty stores as well as Skechers brand retail stores.
Over the years Skechers has developed a wide range of styles and product lines for men, women, and kids, but their athletic shoes are by far the most successful. You might be surprised to find that some of your other favorite brand name sneakers are simply Skechers shoes rebranded for other companies – Unltd. by Marc Ecko, Rhino Red, Red by Marc Ecko, Zoo York, 310 Premium Footwear, BEBE SPORT, Punkrose, Public Royalty, and Mark Nason. But if you really like Skechers athletic shoes, they offer sneakers that are genuinely designed for hard training and other shoes more appropriate for casual every-day activity. Skechers has always been known for producing very high quality athletic shoes with a very reasonable price tag, but Skechers clearance items also include many of the most popular styles for significantly reduced prices.
If you are looking for a fantastic athletic shoe that wears great and cleans up easily too, then perhaps you should try out a pair of Skechers Energy athletic shoes. The Energy line has various sub-lines for men and women, and they’re all great for lots of walking while at work or for putting in a hard bout of cross training at the gym.
Skechers Heatwave sandals are one of the highest quality most comfortable sandal lines on the market. Although not necessarily an athletic shoe per se, heatwaves are great for all types of daily activity. With exceptionally durable and comfortable construction, heatwave sandals are sure to please.

Nike is The Most Eco-Friendly Business?
Okay so there are lots of companies that are making strides to become eco-friendly. Very often it is a thin line between “greenwashing” and actual improvements but that is a different story all together. So I’m doing my usual perusing around the web today and I come across a story that almost knocks me off my feet, Nike is the most eco-friendly practicing business!
I know, I know. How is this possible? Well around this time in March we were talking about the improvements Nike was making but to think that they are the best? That seems a little strange to say the least! I talk about companies making eco-friendly strides all the time so mabey the Nike news fell through the cracks? The question is, who exactly made this ranking? The non-profit organization is called Climate Counts started by Stonyfield Farms Inc. which is an organic yogurt company. Climate Counts goal is “to motivate deeper awareness among consumers-not only that the issue of climate change demands their attention, but also that they have the power to support companies that take climate change seriously – and avoid those that don’t”. So the question is, how exactly did they rank companies in order that Nike ended up at the top of the pile? In simple terms, there was a 100-point scale that was based off of 22 criteria to determine if: companies have:
- MEASURED their climate “footprint”
- REDUCED their impact on global warming
- SUPPORTED (or suggest intent to block) progressive climate legislation
- Publicly DISCLOSED their climate actions clearly and comprehensively
So click here to learn a little more and you can go to the direct site yourself to see how other companies matched up and all the details on the ranking. Am I the only one that finds this a little crazy?
