Rock your world with Rockport Shoes

Filed under: Rockport Shoes — webmaster @ 5:50 pm

Shoes can look good on the outside but what about the inside?  With Rockport shoes, the difference is inside because they have been constantly improving on their footwear to come up with the perfect shoe that they believe was never invented.  Rockport was the first company to create lightweight comfort by using the most advanced athletic technologies in casual shoes and the first to engineer walking comfort in dress and casual shoes.

Rockport’s innovations in technology include DMX, Walk Dry, XCS and the Vibram Sole.  DMX technology are seen as the slight bulges that are massage-like in quality featuring cushions of moving air in the sole of the shoe, while the Walk Dry technology provides water-resistant surfaces and are easy to wipe clean of any dirt and assorted stains.

The Vibram Sole, on the other hand, is considered to be the most durable in all shoe markets and nearly inflexible which does not affect the comfort that Rockport brings, providing maximum shock absorption and cushioning, while the XCS or Extreme Conditions System provides the anti-scratch and waterproofing on the outside of the shoe thereby delivering high performance in outdoor conditions.

Rockport shoes was founded in 1971 by the father and son tandem Saul and Bruce Katz in Marlborough, Massachusetts.  They dreamed of making a shoe that has the combination of lightweight materials, comfort and subtle stylings.  Having this in mind, they decided that these were the characteristics that Rockport should have in the next decade.

Kilamanjaro.  Not only that, it has been hailed as the official boat shoe for the Whitbread “Round the World” Race.

The World of Converse Shoes

Filed under: Converse Shoes — webmaster @ 5:27 pm

It was in 1908 in Maldon, Massacchussets when Marquis M. Converse opened the Converse Rubber Shoe Company. Also known as the Boston Rubber Shoe Company, it has been making shoes since the early 20th century, providing winterized rubber soled footwear for men, women and children. 2 years later, Converse, being a rubber shoe manufacturer, produced 4,000 shoes daily and in 1915 started manufacturing tennis shoes.

In 1917, Converse All-star basketball shoes were introduced, a real innovation considering that the sport was only 25 years old. The big break came in when it was endorsed by basketball player Charles H. “Chuck” Taylor as his preferred shoe of choice.

In 1921 he went in complaining of sore feet. Converse came to his rescue by not only alleviating the pain but by giving him a job.Being impressed with the company’s shoe designs, he worked as a salesman and ambassador promoting the shoes all over the United States thereby becoming the company’s leading salesman. Then, after a few changes to the shoe have been made upon his proposal, Converse shoes got it’s current name and Chuck Taylor’s signature on it’s ankle patch.Chuck Taylor All Star basketball shoes have also been referred to as “Cons”, “Connies”, “Chucks”, “Converse”, “Chuckie T’s” and “Chucker Boots” for the higher styles.

Colored and patterned shoelaces became so popular to complement Converse’s two colored black and white trademark before 1966 in order to match each basketball team’s specific colors. This was brought about by the consumers demand for more varieties on the shoe and pressure from the different basketball teams.Eventually, it wasn’t only about the colors but more styles came out. Low-top or “Oxford”, high-top and later, knee-high versions were produced. Construction materials for these styles include leather, suede, vinyl, denim and hemp. There were even some versions that were offered without laces and are held up by elastic. All of these new designs were co-designed by Chuck Taylor himself who tirelessly continued his work until his death in 1969.

Afterwards, the design has had a few alterations after Converse was bought by Nike and operations were moved from the United States to overseas. From the usual 2-ply cotton canvas, the fabric became 1-ply “textile” and different patterns of wear have been noticed by many wearers.Currently, Converse has also been producing a wide range of occupational safety shoes for men and women that resemble their regular athletic shoes. Some of which are the women’s metaflex athletic Met Guard work shoe, men’s athletic Met Guard slip-resistant hiker and the men’s non-metallic safety-toe athletic shoe. Not only were these shoes built to last but are made up of genuine leather offering minimal electric resistance, shock-resistant heels, foam insoles and a special moisture resistant lining to keep your feet dry all day. What’s more is that they’re metal free so it’s really perfect for those on high-risk jobs, everything that a work shoe has to have to protect you from occupational hazards.Converse, a name that holds a century of innovation and footwear history in itself. What else can you ask for? Name it, they have it. Be it Converse classic shoes, Converse lifestyle shoes or Converse performance shoes, Converse gives you the freedom to express yourself by choosing whichever fits your mood, style and wardrobe.

Timberland Boots

Filed under: Timberland Boots — webmaster @ 6:40 pm

Timberland’s story began all the way back in 1918 in a small Boston, Massachusetts shoe company, The Abington Shoe Company, where it’s founder, Nathan Swartz, started his bootmaking career as an apprentice stitcher.  He cut leather, stitched seams, attached soles and learned how to craft fine leather goods with his own hands.

In 1955, he bought the interest in the company and welcomed his sons to join him and for nearly ten years, the Swartz family made shoes for leading manufacturers together.  Early in the 1960’s, they introduced one of the first waterproof leather boots using the so-called injection-molding technology wherein the soles are fused to leather uppers without stitching, a first in the footwear industry during that time.

It was in 1973 when the name Timberland was born which started as a brand name for their waterproof leather boot.  The boot became so popular that they have to change the name of the company to The Timberland Company. 
Timberland boots are not only waterproof but are made up of premium materials with smooth, full-grain leather uppers, glove-leather lining, thermal microfiber and closed-cell foam to keep the feet dry and warm.  Some of the added features include a padded collar, rustproof hardware and durable laces made of Taslan fibers, while the midsole is made up of polyurethane construction bonded to a durable rubber lug outsole and fiberglass shank.

In 1978 and 1979, Timberland became more than just a boot company with the addition of casual Timberland oxford shoes, Timberland boat shoes and Timberland lifestyle shoes to it’s footwear line. 
Timberland oxford shoes are built with loads of features.  The Stormbuck plain toe oxfords, for instance, are not only stylishly perfect for casual wear with pants, cords and khaki’s but are salt and stain resistant as well.  The Mount Rainier oxfords, on the other hand, are unique looking with it’s two tone uppers in an array of colors.
In the 1980’s, Timberland expanded into an international lifestyle brand.  It’s first venture into the international market was in Italy where it was first launched under Sidney Swartz’ reign and leadership.  Then, Timberland clothing and women’s footwear were introduced.
In 1989, Timberland aided in bringing young people from diverse backgrounds together by being the founding sponsor of the Boston-based “urban Peace Corps” City Year for a year of full time community service.  A year later, bold ideas like the Path of Service program began entitling Timberland employees to 40 hours of paid time-off to serve in their communities.

Eventually, more great products were introduced worldwide like watches, socks, backpacks, kids’ footwear and other gears.  In 1998, the Timberland PRO series of “Workboots for the Professional” was launched delivering a promise of long lasting durability, comfort and fit.
Later on, Jeffrey Swartz took over the driver’s seat and turned Timberland into a twenty-first century example for socially responsible corporations around the world continuing the legacy that his grandfather and father built throughout the years.
