While at it's heart, Shoepost.blogspot.com is about (what else?) Shoes!
We also take an interest in the activities that are done while wearing those shoes,
and luckily for us, in this modern world of ours, there is a wide variety of
activities people partake in and a number specific shoes designs for these
activities to boot(ha! get it? 'to boot.')
If you like a wide variety in your shoe selection, it's not to be taken for granted,
many years of human industry brought us to this point, though if on the other hand
you reminisce of simpler times, you could search these people out and see if
they'd be down with you chillin' out for a while. = )
So stay tuned for future installments as we delve into all the fun you can have with
material strapped around your feet!

New Balance Shoes
The New Balance shoe company dates back all the way the way to 1906.
New Balance was founded and is today still based in Boston, Mass.
Home also of course to Paul Revere but I digress.
When New Balance was founded it was actually New Balance Arch Support company and
produced arch supports to improve the fit of shoes. This to me is somewhat
surprising as I think of insole type products as being a relatively new invention.
But, I suppose in the early twentieth century people were interested in comfortable
shoes just as they are now.
Much to the delight of these shoe buyers I'm sure New Balance has continued producing
comfortable shoes for 100+ years!
Some of the New Balance Shoes reviewed on this site, are the
New Balance 1350
You can also check out this review of the New Balance 810 trail runners.

Get Running Palo Alto
Looking for some nice running routes in the Palo Alto, CA area?
You're in luck then.
Here is guide from the Stanford running team detailing quite a few running routes around the Stanford University campus / Palo Alto area.
http://running.stanford.edu/CampusRuns.htm
Here is one that looks interesting, called Coyote Hill, the page's writer reports that you will experience little in the way of vehicular traffic, but will be accompanied on either side of the road by horses in their fields. It is said the horse will sometimes even run up the hill with you!
Sounds like more fun than having a coyote run up the hill with you.
