look at this paper fashion collection from uk artist jennifer collier. she has mastered a multitude of techniques, including weaving, stitching and waxing, and has created a group of garments so fascinating to view. carefully crafted from bits of paper, plastic and assorted found objects and materials, these transient and disposable materials are skillfully transformed into items which have distinct and dynamic value.

alias golf shoes are so comfortable! i got these shoes the day before i was to play, so i was a little wary about them, thinking that i had to break them in a bit first before i actually played in them. not necessary — these shoes were 100% comfortable, immediately! i totally could have not worn any socks and they would have been just as good. great heel and arch support, and super cushy ankle padding. a good true to size fit as well (see below).

tiger_woods_07.jpgi had spent an hour in sports authority the week before, and had finally settled on a pair of nike shoes. after i played in those, i had approximately 5 blisters and could barely walk. maybe they’re good enough for tiger, but not for me. i can’t believe i managed to play in them. got rid of those right after that. i had heard that the nike golf shoes weren’t that great, but didn’t heed the warnings and suffered for it…

bite_sandal.jpganyway, these (and my bite sandals) are the best golf shoes for my big, aircraft-carrier wide foot. buy these and many other styles here. knowing how these fit, i would say that they are true to size, as i was a bit overzealous in my quest for comfort, bought a size too large, and now have the unfortunate charge of sloshing around the area now in shoes that are a tad too big. oh well. i guess there’s always eBay.
