Box 23-1318, Great Neck, NY 11023 footwearinsight.com TIME OUT | MARK SULLIVAN Facing The Facts I was at the birthday part of a 90-year-old aunt recently, the highlight of which was the showing of old Super 8 movies. It was great seeing the old cars and the way people dressed, but I was most struck by how people from that era reacted when the camera was pointed at them. They shied away or would put their hands up to block the camera from recording their image. They were modest. That’s quite a difference from today. When you point a camera or a digital recording device at someone, they invariably start mugging, making faces or putting their hands into all these weird gang member symbols. We live in an “in your face” world. Modesty and subtlety long ago left the building. That should apply to retail, too. When I walk into a store, I don’t want a sales person in my face, but it’s nice when the merchandise and the storytelling are in my face. Last week, I took my soon to be 12-year-old son shopping for hiking boots for a school camping trip that he is required to attend. My son has little enthusiasm for this trip. Like his dad, his idea of “roughing it” is staying in a place where they don’t have ESPN2. So his energy for our shopping trip was rather low. Needless to say, we both loved it when we walked into our local Marty’s Shoes in New Jersey and saw a display of “Back to School Hiking Boots” five feet inside the front door. We helped ourselves, tried on two pairs, chose the one that fit and were in and out of the store in a total of 12 minutes. As the manager rang us up, he revealed that he knew all about the middle school camping trip. “A lot of kids have been coming in looking for boots,” he told me, “so we’re trying to make it easy.” He is a smart fellow who knows what’s going on in his market. I’m sure he didn’t have to get the plan-o-gram from corporate to make this decision and I hope he gets a bonus for being the store of the week. A few days later I went to the new REI store that recently opened in the shopping Mecca that I call home. The store was nice, not a knockout, but I was surprised at how “not in your face” it was. I have been coveting a bicycle lately and I walked in and saw an impressive display right in the front of the store. This location also has a bike shop on premise that does repairs, tune-ups and installations. Northern Bergen County, New Jersey where I live has a dozen great bike stores, so the competition will be tough, but I was instantly struck by the large assortment of bikes the store carried and a great assortment of accessories it stocked. I don’t know much about bikes, so how I typically assess them is to lift them up. How light they are will give me a clue as to what the materials used in their construction. Titanium, carbon fiber, steel? At REI, I couldn’t tell. First, many of the bikes were hanging from the ceiling. This was visually striking, but not real conducive to looking or touching. The bikes on the floor were locked down on racks, so I couldn’t really get a sense for how light they were either. And the displays didn’t really engage me. The message they were sending was “We might want to sell you one of these bikes, but we’re really afraid you might steal one.” I wanted to tell them New Jersey is not that kind of place and ever since The Sopranos went off the air we’re all shiny, happy people who don’t steal bikes. I also could have told them that they should practice the Three Esses of Retailing. 1. Showcase high. 2. Sell middle. 3 Store low. That’s why candy stores put the candy where kids can see and grab it. Consumers are time-pressed and very stressed. In self-serve environments like Marty’s, it’s great to have the product in your face. At REI, maybe they believe that because of their high-service environment they can afford to be a little more subtle. But like subtlety and modesty, I left the building too. Without buying a thing. For those readers who can’t get enough of my wit, wisdom and insightful analysis, you can catch me almost weekly on my new blog. insideinsightblog.com THE FOOTWEAR EYE Watch the Tom Brady commercial for Deckers brand BRAnDS UGG Australia on our Blog: InsideInsightBlog.com brand building at Deckers Deckers is best known for its Teva people who own it.

  • Platform Shoes in the 1900'S
    1 Hicks Platform Shoes in the 1900’s Research Article Paper Camry Hicks Art 3410 March 14, 2018 Professor Lung 2 Hicks Shoes are very important to our everyday lives because they protect our feet. Not only do they protect our feet but they add style to our individual creative fashion looks in our daily fashion looks. Christian Louboutin says, “Shoes transform your body language and attitude. They fit you physically and emotionally.” You can never go wrong with any kind of shoe you wear because they are designed not only to comfort you but to give you style in you life. In the the 1990’s there were many different shoes that were worn and one shoe in particular that I will be focusing on throughout my paper is the Platform shoes. My research journal article will consist of the history of platform shoes in the 1900’s such as who wore this kind of shoe back then and what styles and materials were used during that time period. I have researched the history of the shoe so far as how and when the platform shoes came about during the 1900’s. I have learned that these particular shoes were invented many, many years ago but they didn’t start coming out with different styles, materials and things like that until the 1900’s. The platform shoe has evolved so much from when it was invented until this current day. But I won’t be focusing on these shoes long ago or currently throughout this paper, I will be specifically focusing on the platform shoes in the time period of the 1900’s when fashion was at its finest.

  • Charlotte Olympia Plots Expansion
    Charlotte Olympia Plots Expansion By Samantha Conti LONDON — Charlotte Olympia, the small and self-funded British footwear and accessories brand, is using a cocktail of nostalgia, glamour and laughs to build an international business. By the end of this year, the company, launched by Charlotte Olympia Dellal in 2008 and run by Jimmy Choo and Halston veteran Bonnie Takhar, will have nine freestanding stores worldwide. The first was opened on London’s Maddox Street in 2010. Wholesale clients include Harrods, Neiman Marcus, On Pedder in Hong Kong, Bergdorf Goodman and Tsum in Moscow. The business is notching triple-digit sales growth and double-digit profit gains on the back of collections such as Archie’s Girls, which had a Pop Art-y, retro feel and was based on the comic books; Hollywoodland, which featured platforms and stiletto heels with celluloidlike straps or Art Deco flourishes, and Overboard, with platform peep-toes shaped like fish, or towering message-in-a-bottle heels. The brand is also well-known for its collection of slipper-inspired flats, especially the Kitty, with a cat’s face and perky ears, and the Charlotte’s Web with a spider’s work picked out on the vamp. “Charlotte Olympia is in a league of its own in terms of making shoes that are cute and funny,” said Helen David, fashion director of women’s wear, accessories, fine jewelry and children’s wear at Harrods. “The customer is almost anyone — unless they are completely lacking in a sense of humor.” David added that customers have even begun to collect the designs.

  • Science Writing Competition 2016 – Runner-Up Entry
    Science Writing Competition 2016 – Runner-up entry Below is the runner-up entry in the ‘17 and under’ category for the 2016 international Science Writing Competition organised by the University of the West of England’s Science Communication Unit ,BBC Focus magazine and Royal Institution. Runner-up: 17 and under People Power Stanley Lowres, aged 16 Wearable Technology. Without a doubt the next big thing; manufacturers and consumers alike are going crazy over everything from smart watches and fitness trackers to self-tying shoes. Wearable technology lets you text and call from your wrist; monitors your heart rate and stress levels; gives you personalised tips on improving your lifestyle and so much more. But this all comes at a cost. Apple claims that their smartwatch, the creatively named Apple Watch, will last for an average of 18 hours before requiring charging. (Of course, it will then run on ‘reserve mode’ - which only lets you tell the time – for a further 72 hours). So how can we solve this issue? Well, in the near future we could expect to see new technologies that can generate power on the move, harnessing said power to charge our array of devices. One such idea, taking inspiration from Sci-fi classic The Matrix, is to use our body heat as power (if the machines do rise up and humanity is forced into a bitter war for its very survival, at least we’ll receive tips on improving our lifestyle and reducing stress while doing so). Back in 2014, a team from the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology developed a thin patch that can be applied to the body, which uses the difference between your body temperature and the outside air to induce a current and produce electricity.

  • The Platform Shoe History and Post WWII
    The Platform Shoe – History and Post WWII By Martha Rucker Cave drawings from more than 15,000 years ago show humans with animal skins or furs wrapped around their feet. Shoes, in some form or another, have been around for a very long time. The evolution of foot coverings, from the sandal to present-day athletic shoe continues. Platform shoes (also known as Disco Boots) are shoes, boots, or sandals with thick soles at least four inches in height, often made of cork, plastic, rubber, or wood. Wooden-soled platform shoes are technically also known as clogs. They have been worn in various cultures since ancient times for fashion or for added height After their use in Ancient Greece for raising the height of important characters in the Greek theatre and their similar use by high-born prostitutes or courtesans in Venice in the 16th Century, platform shoes are thought to have been worn in Europe in the 18th century to avoid the muck of urban streets. Of the same practical origins are the Japanese geta, a form of traditional Japanese footwear that resembles both clogs and flip-flops There may also be a connection to the buskins of Ancient Rome, which frequently had very thick soles to give added height to the wearer. During the Qing Dynasty, aristocrat Manchu women wore a form of platform shoe similar to 16th century Venetian chopine, a type of women's platform shoe that was popular in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries which were used to protect the shoes and dress from mud and street soil.

  • Arlyn-Martinez-The-Platform-Shoe.Pdf
    Arlyn Martinez Art 3410 Professor Lung February 27, 2018 The Platform Shoe 1970’s-1990’s Shoes have been around for over 400 years and have really begun to evolve as time has gone on. For many people, shoes are a big fashion statement and they say a lot about who we are as individual people. When I look at someone, the first thing I notice is what they are wearing including what kind of shoes they have on. Are they wearing sandals? Do they have fitness shoes on? Or are they wearing some comfortable boots? All of these clues give us insight at the kind of lifestyles these people lead. For the people living in the 70’s, the most prevalent fashion of the time included the well-known platform shoe. The platform shoe fad truly began in the 70’s era and some historians note that this could have well been the longest lasting shoe fad to have ever occurred. “At the beginning of the fad, they were worn primarily by young women in their teens and twenties, and occasionally by younger girls, older women, and (particularly by the disco era) by young men, and although they did provide added height without nearly the discomfort of spike heels, they seem to have been worn primarily for the sake of attracting attention” (Brown). During this time, several magazine ads were featuring this rising fashion trend. One of the most popular magazines that contributed greatly to this was the magazine known as “Seventeen”. They had various advertisements that featured the platform shoe and tried to reach the youth audience and get them to purchase these shoes so that they would become a part of this wide trend.
