sky, that is really interesting, and relates to my work. I showed the articles to my boss and she was really interested too.

I have a wide foot with narrow heel also, although I am not Native American. So I wouldn't mind trying these shoes on either! (I can never fit into those dainty little shoes with the pointy shoes that they sell in the stores for women.)

Interestingly, the shoe was developed in conjunction with the sports marketing center at University of Oregon. Last spring, my daughter visited U of O, as she is considering it for college. She is interested in business and as part of her visitation program, she went to the business school with other high school students and did a group activity. They broke into small groups and each had to design a new shoe for Nike that was targeted to a specific group. I think my daughter's group chose school teams as their group. No one chose an ethnic group! I never would have dreamed of that.
