What are CoolTown-oriented shoes?

Nike Prestos

What’s a typical week in a health-oriented town?There really is such a thing, in my opinion.  Once I got ‘urban dress/walking shoes’, I found myself getting twice as much exercise.

Go to Nike and look up “prestos”.  My shoe expert of a friend recommended I get these when I asked him if there was such a thing as shoes I could go to a meeting with, and run in.  Well, for my sake, these shoes are just that!  Not only do I wear these to business meetings, but I ran a ten mile race in them too!  They’re extremely comfortable, light and flexible, yet have a simple black exterior that allows me to get away with them in more formal settings.  Or you can do what women in the city do - carry another pair of shoes.

If more of our footwear was designed for comfort rather than show, I guarantee you we’d be walking a lot more.  I’ll make sure that when we build the first new CoolTown, at least one of the stores sells footwear like this.
