See Manhattan On Your Feet: Whom You Know Continues Our Coverage of Skechers with Men's Shape-Ups X T - Talas, and We Recommend Them!

We love to See Manhattan On Our Feet at Whom You Know! You notice more about the city, you avoid the MTA, you get exercise and you reduce stress (as long as you are not walking behind a chimney person, which Peachy does find incredibly annoying....and that is a person smoking.) We also love to find great new footwear brands to test and we have had some fun with Skechers! The latest model we recommend is the Talas for men. Our panelist put them on, and he tells us:

This is my first experience with Skechers, and I am pleased to say it won't be my last. The sneaker market seems to be concentrated in only a few brands in stores, and through See Manhattan On Your Feet and my own general interest in athletics, I have been exposed to many brands that I may not have considered before, and these are brands that you should consider too. I tested the Talas model, and this seemed to be a rugged, masculine athletic style geared towards extended training. It does feature the Shape-Ups technology that Skechers is famous for, (you can read about Shape-Ups stories here: http://myshapeups.com/ ) but what I like about this technology is the ultimate in comfort that you get from it. You can literally See Manhattan on Your Feet for miles in these- they are almost like a super durable slipper. My feet have never been so happy. Whether I'm taking a stroll around or out for a serious run, these are so versatile. They come in four color schemes but I like them in Navy/Silver. (Also in Black/Charcoal, Brown/Silver and White/Navy.) They're definitely a casual look-you wouldn't go to an upscale club in them but certainly these would be perfect in a sports bar. The color masks the inevitable dirt in Manhattan too, and overall I am pleased with the Talas by Skechers! Try them out for yourself.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
