Quality Deck Shoes on Discount

Who doesn't love deck shoes on discount? Shoes are one of the first things people look when meeting you for the first time. You wouldn't normally advertise to your friends that you found shoes on discount, but that depends if you are a practical or emotional buyer. Sometimes discounts don't lead to savings as the product doesn't have high value while at other times you can save money and get something fashionable.

I do a lot of sailing and moved into competitive sailboat racing working that requires a lot of deck running. My old soft bottom shoes were not longer going to cut it so I went in search of high quality non-scuff deck shoes that grip even when the water has splashed up on the deck. After searching online I decided to stop at my local West Marine to do some comparison shopping.

What did I find?

A whole array of deck shoes designed specifically for sailing. According to the sales agent, Sperry offers high quality boat shoes that last in salt water and provide a durable non-slip sole. Beyond functional they also are fashionable and can be worn in other locations when your not on ship.

The ones I selected where Sperry's Haylard 2 Eye Deck shoe. Normally running between $50 and $100 they were on sale for $32. The advantage of the shoe is that it is durable, has a sole designed for non-slip that protects against injury, and can be used for casual wear.

The worst thing you can do is buy shoes that hurt your feet and lead to injury through sliding on the deck, falling down, or over into the water.

Items on sale don't mean they are worth less than other brands. Sometimes summer season ends and new items must be put in place. You also find that only a few sizes are available so the entire selection is discounted. Sales could also be used to draw customers in. In this case it seems that summer is ending and new shoes are being brought aboard.

You can check out of their other shoes at Sperry

The Meaning of A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost

A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost He halted in the wind, and — what was that Far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost? He stood there bringing March against his thought, And yet too ready to believe the most. "Oh, that's the Paradise-in-bloom," I said; And truly it was fair enough for flowers had we but in us to assume in march Such white luxuriance of May for ours. We stood a moment so in a strange world, Myself as one his own pretense deceives; And then I said the truth (and we moved on). A young beech clinging to its last year's leaves. The poem is one of seasons changing and the cycle of life. Each May the bloom comes out and brings life to the death of winter. The poem is about a single moment when the characters see that life has changed. The layers of meaning can be deep but on the surface it appears Robert Frost is discussing nature and its cyclical momentum.   Everything in nature moves through patterns. The poem indicates that

Art Review: The Kiss by Gustav Klimt

The Kiss is Gustav Klimt’s most famous and well known painting. Produced in 1908 in Vienna, Austria and incorporated oil and gold life on the canvas ( 1 ). This was unique for his time and represents both tile works with Asiatic influence. The painting and the romance it brings forward is still wonderment to onlookers. The picture depicts a passionate relationship between a man and woman in a sort of perfect place.  The couple is embracing, bodies entwined, wearing robes of wealth and decadence. It provides linear constructs of the Art Nouveau style and the movement of arts with crafts ( 2 ). The male is square and masculine while the woman painted is in curves to represent femininity. The couple is a pair with the woman and man equal in stature. They are in a field of flowers and appear to rise above it.  To many this painting represents the concept that love has no bounds. Social position or worldly wealth cannot hide what goes on under the fancy clothes and standard m
