The blast of color makes for happy feet

I know we are all sick of that white fluffy stuff that just seems to keep coming down making it impossible to run around the track or walk around the neighborhood.  Walking and running shoes will make you smile and forget the winter for a moment.
Are you looking for something bright, cheery and colorful?  Winter sports are upon us and I am not talking about the Olympics. I am talking about those games played on the courts or on the mats. Look at the feet please. 

Gone are the days of white and black high tops with the colors of the schools intertwined. On the courts or the mats you can see the rainbow colors of happy feet run from basket to basket.

 

According to Tom Kennedy owner of Media Football Club in Media  at 300 West State Street in Media a store geared towards soccer clothes and shoes. The trend is here. Those prism of colors and fluorescent shoes will be on the soccer fields and baseball fields this spring and summer. So here’s a look at what’s styling this season. From six to eighty the more color the better.  After all the polar white snow on the ground this trend is a breath of spring during this long winter.
