Some great ideas-like Tsukihoshi athletic shoes, some not so great- like Stacked Platform Heels for men (back in the 70′s). But I must tell you that CHOOZE shoes came out [...]

Halloween Memories
I really never want to be that person who thinks things were always better “way back when”. But I do want to be the sort of person who embraces both the past and the future. That said, a few Halloween memories follow. Growing up in a small town in the midwest, we used to set [...]
