Mephisto Harrison Review

Today I have the Mephisto Harrison Review.

Just like the other Mephisto shoes that I carry, such as the…

Ylona

Raine

Edlef

Twain

And the Romea…

The Harrison’s are extremely high-quality.

As well as the other models, they are also hand-made.

And you’ll be able to see the quality and things such as double stitching, brass eyelets, and quality leather in the video.

On top of that, the Harrisons are also pretty comfortable.

And this is a big deal…

They are stylish, and they look really nice.

Oh, there is one other important thing to know.

That is, they run large.

So you will probably have to size down at least one size if not more.

In fact, I am two sizes smaller in some of their shoes.

So these are definitely a pair of shoes you will want to try on to know for sure.

And if you’d like to try them on, scroll down to the calendar below and schedule a time to come in.

I’m pretty sure that you’ll like these shoes.

To learn a bit more, make sure you watch the Mephisto Harrison review video above.

Powerstep Inserts Versus Superfeet Inserts

Today we’re going to dive into PowerStep inserts versus Superfeet inserts.

Just like shoe companies, each insert company approaches how they do things a little bit differently.

Both PowerStep and Superfeet have been around for quite a while. 

They are two of the bigger players in the market.

Between the two companies, there are quite a few different offerings with their inserts.

That allows them to cater to various types of feet and/or issues.

And in the video on this page, I break down the approach these two companies take with their inserts, and…

What makes them different.

Even though I’ve carried Superfeet for over 20 years, I wanted to bring PowerStep into the mix because they provide a good product.

And their inserts have been able to help quite a few people. 

If you want to know more about the PowerStep inserts versus Superfeet inserts, check out the video on this page.

And if you’d like to see which would be better for your feet, schedule an appointment by using the calendar below.

Mephisto Ylona Review

Today we’re diving into the Mephisto Ylona Review. This is the fourth shoe in the Mephisto video series.

Up to this point, we’ve done reviews of the Mephisto…

Edlef

Raine

And Twain.

All of these have either been slip-on shoes or boots.

But the Ylona is different and it’s specifically for women.

It’s the first “sneaker” that I’m reviewing for Mephisto.

And it’s not just a lace-up sneaker but also zips up as well.

Which you’ll see more about in the video.

To see all the other features of this shoe and why it’s a good one, check out the Mephisto Ylona review video above.

If you’d like to try a pair of the Ylona’s, then click here to schedule an appointment.

Mephisto Twain Review

This is the Mephisto Twain review. Just like the overviews of the Mephisto Raine, and Edlef we are going to break down the top features of this shoe and what makes it a high-quality shoe.

The Twain is specifically for men and it’s similar to the Edlef in that it is a slip-on shoe. It’s a casual shoe, and is quite stylish.

To learn more, make sure you watch the video.

And if you’d like to try a pair on, set up an appointment by choosing a day and time with the calendar below.

Mephisto Raine Review

Here is the Mephisto Raine Review.

This is the 2nd review video of the Mephisto brand shoes that are in the store.

If you’d like to see the first review video of the Mephisto Edlef, click here.

As for the Raine, it’s a bit different. It’s not a shoe, it’s a boot. And it’s made for women.

And this boot is not the “rough and tumble” utility boot like the Danner Vicious, or Hoss Bronc.

The Raine is more of a casual ankle boot.

And in the Mephisto Raine review, you’ll learn about some of the features and benefits of the Raine and what makes it a good boot.

So check it out.

If you’d like to try a pair on, click here to schedule an appointment, or scroll down and use the calendar below.

Mephisto Edlef Shoe Review

Today we’re diving into the Mephisto Edlef shoe review. In this quick overview, you’ll learn about what makes this loafer a higher-quality shoe.

We will dive into the stitching, the insole, what type of support the Edlef has, and the style.

If you’d like to try the Edlef you can click here to make an appointment or scroll down to the calendar below and select a day and time.

With that appointment, you can get a professional shoe fitting that will help you determine the perfect size.

You will also learn what can enhance the fit of the Edlef shoe and we can look into any foot pain issues if you’re having them.

But before you schedule an appointment, make sure to watch the Mephisto Edlef shoe review first.

Dr. Scholl’s Versus Superfeet Inserts – Which Are Better?

Who do you think would win in a battle between Dr. Scholl’s versus Superfeet inserts? Well, that’s what this video is all about.

Both companies are trying to solve the same issues. But each company approaches it from a different perspective.

In general, Dr. Scholl’s inserts focus on “cushion,” whereas Superfeet focuses more on the shape.

What is meant by “shape” is that the Superfeet inserts are designed around the shape of the foot.

And in this video , you’ll see how the shape and the cushion play a role in benefiting the foot.

On top of that, you’ll learn how the foot operates and how the inserts truly help the feet.

If you’re having foot pain then you’ll definitely want an insert that works with your foot.

If you’d like to stop by the store and see how we can help with any foot problems, or would like to try the inserts, then schedule an appointment below.

What You Need To Know About Medical Shoes

The medical shoe segment of the footwear industry is a BIG one.

But it’s not one you hear too much about unless you have a specific medical or foot issue.

That being said…

A lot more attention should be paid to it because so many people are helped by it.

So I wanted to do a medical shoe overview or breakdown of what it’s all about and what is available.

This overview is important because there are quite a few people who can be helped by these shoes but don’t know where to start.

That’s because it’s not marketed or advertised as much as the “normal shoes.”

But there are quite a few options that can help with all sorts of foot and medical issues as you’ll see in the video. 

And some of the shoes they’ve created are pretty cool.

Over the years they’ve even improved the look of the shoes as well so they’re not just the big ugly shoe that many of us think of when we think of medical shoes.

So if you’re curious about medical shoes or think you may need some this video will be perfect for you.

Even if you don’t need medical shoes the video is worth a watch because you’ll see how even the name brands can be used as medical shoes.

If you’d like to see what’s available here at the store or try some of them on then scroll down and schedule an appointment.

 

Altra Lone Peak 5 Review And Basic History

Above is a quick video that is the Altra Lone Peak 5 review. Plus, you’ll learn a little bit of history around Altra and how it came to be.

The interesting thing is the founders of Altra were asked to give advice about business and they both said “do not go into the shoe business.” 

They never realized how tough of a journey it would be but they ended up creating the Altra brand which has become very popular, especially among the minimal community.

In the video you’ll see why I like this shoe and why it has benefits not just for people in the minimal community.

So check it out.

And if you want to try a pair on or are having foot pain or shoe related problems then just schedule an appointment below.

On Cloudace Shoe Review

The video above is the On Cloudace shoe review. This is a VERY short and quick video that will highight the benefits and features of the shoe.

I’ve been carrying the On brand at the store for a while now and it’s been solid. There are quite a few customers who love not just the On brand but the Cloudace as well.  It’s definitely a different type of shoe, and has a different look from most others out there, but it is a GOOD shoe.

So if you want to see the biggest benefits and features of the Cloudace check out the video above.

And if you’d like to try a pair on, scroll down below and schedule an appointment. We’ll go through a full fitting proces so you can see what the Cloud Ace feels like and to see if it’s the right shoe for you.

 

Saucony Ride 14 Review

This is the Saucony Ride 14 review. This is the latest version of one of Saucony’s best shoes. 

The great thing about this shoe is it’s not just for runners. It’s also a great everyday shoe that has a solid “firmer” fit, and is extremely comfortable.

It’s a shoe that is very breathable, so your feet don’t sweat like crazy and it has a nice padded tongue.

Another feature that stands out about the Saucony Ride 14 is that this is a durable shoe.

In an era where materials wear down faster and faster, this shoe seems to hold up better.

So if you are into running, or are using your shoes quite a bit, these will hold up for most of what is thrown at it.

If you’d like to watch the Saucony Ride 14 review and see what some of the different men and women’s models look like then check it out.

If you’re a runner and you’re looking to get the most performance out of your shoes when it comes to training and racing the ASICS METARACER™ is going to be a great option.

ASICS is now using some newer technology in their shoes (as are other running shoe companies) that are really pushing the limits of what is considered a “performance” running shoe.

There are some very unique features to the METARACER™.  And in the ASICS METARACER™ review below you’ll get to see what those features are.

The Aftersport Slide Sandal Overview

More and more you will see people wearing sandals around. And not just to the beach.

They’re becoming more and more popular.

Especially after you’ve been on your feet all day, or have finished a run, or even just want something simple to wear.

So the shoe industry is paying attention and now making sandals that aren’t just some pieces of cheap rubber molded together.

And this is where the aftersport slide sandals come in.

I wanted to share a quick video with you to show you what types of quality sandals there are…

And a bit more on what sets them apart. So take a look at the video below to learn more about the aftersport sandals.

If you’d like to try a pair of the aftersport sandals, schedule an appointment below.

The Superfeet Aftersport&™ Sandal Slide Review

Here is the Superfeet Aftersport™ Sandal Slide review.

At the end of the day, your feet have taken thousands of steps and have had to manage thousands of pounds of pressure.

Multiply that if you went for a long run or did some sort of physical exercise.

So it makes sense that they may need a “break.”

They need to recover.

Obviously the best way to do that is to get off your feet and let them relax.

But sometimes that’s just not possible.

So what can you do?

Well, you can wear what’s called a recovery sandal.

And Superfeet has a good pair called the Aftersport™ Sandal Slide.

What makes these unique is that they can actually be custom made to fit your foot. Which is pretty cool, honestly.

And you can learn more about that and what these sandals are like by checking out the quick review below

These are some pretty good recovery sandals. Feel free to let me know what you think about the Superfeet Aftersport™ Slide Sandals.

The “On” Cloud Series

So I wanted to quick little live video on the “ON” shoe company. They have a series of shoes that they call the cloud series.

It’s pretty unique, and I really like them. On top of that, they’ve been every helpful for customers as well.

This video will show you the different options of shoes that are in the cloud series.

Check it out and let me know what you think

Hoka Evo Jawz Shoe Review

So if you’re looking for a lightweight but aggressive trail shoe…

The Hoka Evo is definitely something to consider.

Check out the video below to learn more about the shoe.

Hoka Challenger ATR 4 Review

Among all the shoe reviews we’ve done here the last one we did was an overview of trail shoes.

Well, we thought it’d be a good idea to do individual reviews of some of the shoes we covered in the overview video.

What you’ll see below is a quick video review of the Hoka Challenger ATR 4.

You’ll see all the features, and what makes it a “trail shoe.”

So check it out

The Trail Shoe Overview

Here’s a little trail shoe overview for you.

Since one of the fastest growing segments in the shoe industry is that of trail shoes, things can get a little overwhelming with all the options out there.

It makes sense this segment is growing fast.

That’s because more and more people are running the obstacle course/mud races, and out on the trails.

Previously your best options for something like this would be hiking boots or regular sneakers. There were very few in-between options.

But now there are quite a few.

So I recorded a quick video for you to break down some of the different options out there so you can get a good sense of what’s available.

The great thing about many of these shoes is they can be used as an everyday shoe as well.

So if you’re into obstacle course running, hiking/ walking or just an everyday type of shoe take a look at this video.

If you’d like to try a pair on just scroll down and schedule an appointment.

The Alegria TRAQ Review

Now I can honestly say the Alegria TRAQ is different.

It’s the first shoe I’ve ever stocked that has a digital chip in it. This chip acts as a pedometer. It links up via Bluetooth with an app you can install on your smartphone.

Once they’re linked together it’ll track your steps, and do some other pretty cool things.

The great part is, they actually make a solid shoe. It’s not a gimmick, joke, or anything like that. It’s good.

It also looks pretty good.

And here’s a quick video of the Alegria TRAQ. You’ll see what it looks like and some of the other features that it has.

So take a look.

The 361 Sensation 3 Shoe Review

Well, The 361 brand is moving along well. They are now onto the 3rd version of their popular Sensation 3 model.

There were some changes that were made from version 2. One of the big ones was trimming it down to save some weight.

And they did that without sacrificing support and comfort.

There were also a bunch of other changes that seemed to really help the shoe. Take a look at the video below to see what the Sensation 3 looks like and what some of the other changes are.
