Is it the SHOES??!! *NBA JAM voice

Hello there & again thank you for reading. This is the "Bran Flake Blog" & like I previously stated, this blog is composed of random topics!! lol & todays topic is about...you guessed it..... SHOE Brands :D.

Footwear is a very broad spectrum & we can't possibly cover every single brand, so please forgive me if I omit your favorite brand. These select brands were in response to the question I posted on Facebook & Twitter "What is your favorite brand of shoes & why???" But before we dive into this Blog entry I'll like to thank Miss. L Perez, Miss. D Alise, Miss. B Taylor, Mrs. T Amerson, Mrs. J Royal-Boone, Miss. Amanda T, Mr. A Walsingham, Mr. J Harris, Mr. Jimmy Fredrick, Mr. E Guerrero & Mr. Andrew Boyd for voicing their opinions for this BLOG. I really appreciate your feed back & thank you! :D

We all love shoes!! I work in the Nike Outlet Mall in Smithfield, North Carolina & I'm amazed by how much money customers are willing to spend for their favorite shoes. From Air Force 1's to Air Max 90's we're willing to shovel out hundreds of dollars for that must own shoe. I'm obviously a Nike guy, not only because I currently working at the Factory, but also because as a former athlete NIKE was always my preferred brand, but does that mean NIKE is the best to everyone? NO, but to my buddies Mr. Boyd & Mr. Harris NIKE is that.

Mr. Boyd states this when it comes to Nike "they've got a shoe for everything." Which is true considering me working in the company, while Mr. Harris gives us a more detailed account by stating "they have the most versatile brand. I wore Nike for football, basketball and track, as well as casual wear & clothes. " Us three are obviously Pro NIKE, but Mr. A Walsingham & Mrs. J Royal-Boone prefers Chuck Taylors over everything else.

Mr. Walsingham states that "chucks" are favored "because they have dual function" by being both ".....old school and trendy!!!" Mrs. Royal-Boone underscores his remark by stating" chucks.....love them simplicity!!!". As you can see NIKE & Chuck Taylors are very trendy shoes, but Miss. B Taylor & Mr. J Fredrick both prefer ADIDAS over other brands.

Miss. Taylor states that she favors ADIDAS over NIKE because, for her, being a soccer athlete, they make better cleats. "Adidas!! I'm not a fan of Nike, but that's because i grew up playing Soccer, & they definitely have better soccer cleats." Which is true to a certain degree because ADIDAS does have a firm grip on the FIFA World Tour! Mr. Fredrick also favors ADIDAS, but also favors other brands of shoes which include, Saucony, New Balance Stacy Adams. He states "Saucony, New Balance, Adidas, and Stacy's[Adams] [because]..the first 3 feel good on my feet and the Stacy's LOOK good on my feet! Lol" So we'll mentioned NIKE, Chuck Taylor, ADIDAS, Saucony, New Balance & Stacy Adams, but Miss. D Alise & Miss. A Trevino favors heels over everything.

Miss. Alise favors Nine West "because they are comfortable and fly!" While Miss Trevino favors Heels in general because "Heels [are]....sexy [&] classy!". Lol they both are right because most men find women in Heels extremely appealing, sometimes preferred, but on the other hand Mr. E Guerrero, Vans, Miss. L Perez & Mrs. T Amerson all have different preferences.

Mr. Guerrero favors VANS, Miss. L Perez favors Reebok, while Mrs. T Amerson likes all shoe brands but prefers....NO SHOES at all! :D. Mr. Guerrero states that he favors Vans " because they come in a large array of colors.  And are so cheap!" Which is true because most shoes retail at around 60/70 $ on average. However,  Miss. Perez favors Reebok and this is what she had to say about them  "Reebok all day everyday comfortable and stylish at least for the ladies." Which is true as well because Reebok has been extending their brand since the mid 90's. Unlike everyone I've mentioned, Mrs. Amerson likes ALL brands of shoes, but prefers "barefoot and in the sand." But regarding shoes she states "Oh shoes.....ALL...and I mean ALL!!! Hahhahahaha!"." That's a broad answer so I asked her if she had a certain brand & she states"
"Uhmm....nope. Love shoes...like seriously I have a problem! LOL! And yessssssssss.....BEACH WOMAN BIG TIME! Nothing like toes in the sand and drink in the hand! ;)" which sums up Mrs. Amerson lol. She's a Beach Woman at heart!


So what shoe brand trumps all? Well it depends on who you ask because not everyone prefers a Nike or Adidas or New Balance etc. But we all have the power of choice, so whatever you prefer, make sure its what you feel comfortable representing. Mr. Boyd, Mr. Harris and myself favors NIKE, but Mr. Walsingham and Mrs. Royal-Boone prefers Chuck Taylors. Miss. B Taylor and Mr. Fredrick prefers Adidas, Saucony, New Balance and Stacy Adams, but Miss. Alise and Miss. Trevino prefers Heels. Mr. Guerrero favors Vans, Miss. Perez favors Reebok, while Mrs. Amerson likes all shoes, but prefers NO SHOES. lol We all favor some brand of shoes because they all offer something the other can't. So which one is superior? Well depends on what you're looking for :D
