Cool Shoe Laces We Covet

Do shoe laces have to be boring? I think not!

Check out these shoelaces fashioned from Japanese fabrics, and imagine how they might spruce up your boring old chucks:

Let your shoelaces make a fashion statement. The designs on these shoelaces were inspired by the fabrics used to make Japanese kimonos. Lace them up to add a unique, and colorful, touch to a favorite pair of sneakers or lace up boots.

They're sold in sets of two, so another pair of shoes can join in on the fun!

Shoelaces Inspired by Japanese Fabrics, $7.95 @ The Spoon Sisters

Excer-sandals We Covet

These flip-flop sandals called "FitFlops" have micro-wobbleboard(TM) technology, to give you a workout while you walk!

They have a safely tapered mid-sole, and the sole itself is comprised of segments of varying densities so that each step challenges the support and balance muscles of your feet and legs. So, work your butt, but look stylin'!

I bought a pair in silver (to look cool), and they are definitely comfy. Now that I am an old lady I cannot wear those tiny flat flip flops that the kids love to much, so these are a godsend!

FitFlops, $49.95 - find out where to buy them at thefitflop.com

Rainboots We Covet

Why should the kids have all the fun? Go splash in some puddles with these adorable print rubber rainboots and worry not about getting wet -- just like when you were little.

Rain Boots, available in Cheetah, Giraffe or Medallion patterns, $44.99-59.95 @ Ballard Designs

Boots We YEEHAW Covet

I am not a wearer of the cowboy boots, mind you. But if I were? These Day Of The Dead boots would be worn by me with pride and glee. Heck, I might even line dance... were I that other, boot wearing person that I'm not.

Ahh, roads not taken, boots not worn. Le sigh.

A bit pricey, but I understand that's typical of high quality boots. Just another reason for cheapskatey me not to wear them, I guess.

Day Of The Dead Boots, $1,595 @ Rocketbuster
