How about this!? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20980046 I'm sure many of you saw it. A shoe made to fit the average Native American's foot, with colors and symbols to accomodate us also!

It has the strip of sunrise to sunset, a circle, #7 etc, and most importantly, the foot bed is wider while the heel area is narrower. http://www.nypost.com/seven/09282007...e_a_walk_i.htm

Called the Air Native N7, it's an effort to help the obesity and diabetes problems common amoung this culture.

Supposedly this is a not-for-profit endeavor, making them at reduced price. Controversy will arise, I'm sure, and it will still be seen as a marketing ploy. (Why not make shoes for other minorities? Other mainstream shoes haven't helped with the general obesity problems.)

I say, THANKS NIKE! I'm going to go find some when I can and try them on.
