Beijing Olympic Warrior Shoe August 16, 2008
Watching Olympic athletes in China, the origin country of these shoes, it makes one truly appreciate what good does come out of that country like a pair of loafers that could take on a mountain of rock. A lot of recycle does either come from or end up being processed in China including the tire outsoles of these shoes. When you consider that the US is still in dire need to get rid of many, many tires, this kind of makes sense. Between that outsole there's another recycled layer which is expanded for comfort by a recessed cutout in the heel portion of the bottom. Latex insoles is pure genius, try to get them beyond a doctors office, and we all know how much orthopedic shoes cost. Amazon was giving $15 off when I bought these making it a good value = 75.
Interestingly enough in watching the Olympics NBC had a featurette on the artist behind the Olympic logo, a truly brilliant man who spent time locked up like far too many artists. His point was that China should begin to export culture along with goods. The first pair of these I got were an example of the oddities that go along with recycled goods. One tire outsole was bald, no good on the road, on your feet. So Amazon's excellent exchange had a new pair on next day service. When I pulled out the shoes and examined the outsoles I noticed something that had been stripped by the thin rubber cut on the previous shoe. There stamped in the outsole were Chinese characters that started from the heel certainly recognizable, to the toe where they faded out and they spoke to me without understanding the translation. The meaning says "yes, these are Chinese made shoes and they're good."

Very comfy and easy to walk in. They don't come loose and the sole looks like I will enjoy long use. I would definitely purchase again later.
