Fit High Heels: Cole Haan Nike Air

FitSugar — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 04:00:00 PST

At first glance you may think that I have lost my mind writing about heels but bear with me here.

My sister and my mom have been raving about these new heels that Oprah apparently loves. I'll admit I was skeptical, as they would love anything Miss Oprah endorses, even if it were the ugliest shoes ever. I was thinking Nike sneaker meets heel, which didn't sound so attractive to me but I did the research and can now say that these Cole Haan Nike Air shoes ($275 and up) are fabulous.

Each high heel shoe of the Cole Haan Nike Air collection utilizes Nike Zoom air bag technology to cushion the ball and heel of the foot. By lining the interior of the heels with strategically placed Nike Zoom air bags, the stress and pain caused by the weight transfer from the raised heel to the toe is counterbalanced. What does it all mean? Basically these shoes could be the most comfortable and sexy heels you ever wore, even despite the fact that the heel sizes average 3-4 inches.

The Cole Haan Nike Air collection of high heels comes in a wide variety of styles including boots, wedges, platforms, pumps, Mary Janes and sling backs. Now, I'm not saying you should run in them as you would your Nike sneaks, but it's nice to know you could if you wanted. To get a pair visit the Cole Haan site.

The Beauty Detail Kristen Stewart and January Jones Have in Common

Annie Tomlin — Tue, 08 May 2012 12:40:06 PDT

On first glance, Kristen Stewart and January Jones had little in common for their Met Gala style. The On the Road star chose a snakeskin-bodice Balenciaga dress, while January slipped into a yellow Versace gown. Kristen's hair was wavy and loose; January's was straight and precise. Couldn't be more different, unless you looked at their manicures. Both actresses were sporting a neutral nail polish, a not-yet-released Chanel shade called - what else? - Beige. The goes-with-everything color has a hint of shimmer, and it's being released online on May 16. And in case you're looking for a new lacquer for sandal season, one other Met Gala attendee is a step ahead of you: actress Greta Gerwig chose it for her pedicure before slipping into her Nicholas Kirkwood shoes.
