Nike Free 5.0+ For Men And Women

By Carla Glen


The Nike Free 5.0 running shoe is now here and if you are planning on buying a new pair, you should read below our review to know more about it.

If you are impressed with the other products from this collection but looking for a more protective version that can be used as everyday footwear, then this product is the best for you. It is less flexible but offers more cushioning because it has a slightly thicker sole. It still has a low profile mid-sole but higher than its predecessors and still has a barefoot feel.

You will also be excited to learn that it features the latest of the Flywire technology. Basically, it consists of soft, thin, but durable wires that are wrapped around to provide more support and snug fit. With this, people suggest that you go one size up.

It has a breathable mesh upper and a textured mesh lining which feels great. It also features a Phylon sole which of course has deep flex grooves for natural motion. It has a higher profile and carbon rubbers are also placed on key areas of the out-sole to make it more durable.

There are so many color ways to choose from and you can even customize it by using the brand's ID feature. It is available in sizes for men, women, and kids.

What is Nike Free?

It is a technology used on running footwear to promote strengthening in the muscles of the foot by making the shoe very flexible to the extent that the user would not feel that he is wearing one. There are currently 3 members of this collection - 3.0, 4.0, and the newest 5.0 which is ordered based on flexibility.

Comparing the 3.0 and the 5.0

It actually depends on your needs or wants. For beginners, the 5.0 is more appropriate because of its support, fit, and cushioning. It is also much better with the Flywire system which not only adds support, but good looks as well. The 3.0 is ultra flexible that it resembles barefoot running and therefore, offers intense foot muscle strengthening.

Best Place to Order Online

A lot of people prefer not to buy clothing online especially shoes because of issues such as sizes, materials, and even shipping. However, a lot of online stores today such as Amazon offer super fast shipping with no charge including returns if you have any complaints or you receive the wrong size. Also, online shopping is exciting and you can save a lot of time.

An Unbiased Review Of The Victorinox Swiss Army Chrono Classic Watch

By Rob Dunwoody


Take a second and think of the names of two to three companies that are respected for their timepieces. Chances are good that names like Tag Hauer occurred to you. It's a real testament to the reputation the Swiss watchmaking industry has earned over a long time. But you might not know that some Swiss watches are much better than others. In this brief article, I'll be giving an unbiased review of the Victorinox's Chrono Classic watch.

I always like to start with the negative stuff to get it out of the way. One little issue that sometimes pops up is with the stop watch feature ("chronograph"). Sometimes, it gets stuck a little off the spot for zero even when you reset it. But this isn't a huge problem and can usually be fixed by recalibrating the watch.

There's another little issue if you buy the watch online that you might want to know about. If you purchase this watch from a company other than Victorinox, like Amazon for example, you will lose out on their 3-year manufacturers warranty. So just bear that in mind and check out the warranty of the site you buy it from.

And that's all the negative things about this watch. Seriously! If you don't believe my expert opinion when I say that, then check it out for yourself online. Try to find a really negative review online. You probably won't be able to. That's how good this watch is. It's one of the best-kept secrets of the watch world.

For starters, the watch just reeks of top-of-the-line luxury. It was designed using the Victorinox ethos of understated beauty. It's one of the few watches that actually look better in person on someone's wrist than it does in the picture online, which is a pretty big statement to make.

As for the construction of the watch, it's a very, very solid watch all-around. It has some serious heft to it, but not so much that it'll feel like a ball and chain on your wrist. The watch face is made out of Sapphire crystal, which makes it virtually impossible to scratch or damage. Seriously, this thing can take a good beating and still look new the next day. It also holds its time really well.

One cool version of this watch that a lot of people like is the PVD Coated version. The watch face has a cool textured look that makes it really pop out when the lighting changes. This effect is what's known as a "guilloched" look, and between that and the reflective finish makes this watch almost like a work of art.

To bring it all home, this watch has a whole lot going for it. It is built to withstand the test of time and to look amazing while doing it. If you decide to get the Chrono Classic, you can buy it knowing you're getting a watch that's sure to attract its share of oohs and ahs in its lifetime. For its current pricepoint, you would be hard pressed to find a watch that is of similar quality and beauty.

Competing With Kentucky Derby Hats

By Melba Hardy


When you think of horse races, it is hard not to think of the Kentucky Derby. It is one of the most popular and well-attended sporting events in the country, but it is not just about the race itself. Many people are also fascinated by Kentucky Derby hats, which have become almost as much a symbol of the race as the horses that run in it.

Celebrities and regular people alike love to show off their fancy head wear at this event. After all, selecting something unique and attention-getting is a great way to get noticed, which is something that everyone wants. After the race, it is not uncommon to see online photo galleries full of the best hat ideas.

For those who wish to take things one step further, there are numerous hat competitions that may be entered. Some of these even offer prizes to the winners, so creating something wonderful is even more attractive. These competitions are often supported by the race organization itself, and are embraced as another way to show off the traditions of the Derby.

If you are interested in participating in one of these contests, or even if you simply want to wear a fabulous Derby hat, you have many options available. There are many retailers and designers who specialize in fantastic creations that will help you stand out. Searching online is the best way to get in contact with these artists.

It is fun and easy to create your own hat if you would like to add that extra personal touch. You can choose how much effort you want to put into it, whether it is simply adding a few details to a hat or coming up with something elaborately themed to your liking. Deciding how big you want your project to be is the first step.

For a more fashionable approach, you may decide that you want a hat that coordinates with the outfit that you will be wearing. This will likely mean that you will select a plain hat that matches your clothing or complements it, and then decorate it based on that. Flowers, ribbons, beads, and gemstones are all things that you can easily add for a wonderful look.

For a themed piece, the process can get a little more complex. You may find it helpful to sketch out your ideas first to see exactly what types of materials you will need before you get started, so there are no surprises midway through. You can get very creative with this particular approach, so do not be afraid to try out ideas that might seem a little crazy!

It does not matter whether you are watching the big race from the television in your living room or from the track itself. Kentucky Derby hats can be a fun and fashionable addition to the proceedings either way. You will love the results you can get by expressing your own personal style, and if you include your friends in the fun, you will love seeing all the wacky ways that they end up doing the same.
