Good shoes go a long way

Image
Shoes with good arch support   have always been thought to be extremely crucial; Specially for people like me.People who like to walk alone to oblivion.I walk alone usually.Walking alone is not that difficult as people make it believe it is.Sure it is a bit hard, even I won't deny that.But when we walked a mile with someone then coming back is surely difficult.As a matter of fact, the hardest walk maybe walking alone.But it is also something which makes you stronger.You see it is always better to walk alone than with a crowd going in the wrong direction.However, no matter what type of walker you might be making sure that you have the most comfortable walking shoes at your disposal.Trust me.It will make things much easier.However, no matter how much I may brag about walking alone, one thing is pretty imminent.And that is I am still scared of my past memories.We all have memories; some that we would love to keep alive forever and some that we would rather forget. As I sit here to

An ever ending struggle

Image
Life is an ever ending struggle of endless trials and tribulations.I believe in this capitalist world I am the only one who wants a bit of communism.You may say that I am crazy, but for an overweight girl to be going to work every morning is no joke.I didn't even have the best shoes standing concrete all day as well.So just imagine what I had been through.I felt as if I was a failure.We see those promotional videos of celebrities when they were younger, singing a karaoke while their mom is catching it all on camera and bam, Ed Sheeran is singing in front of millions. Or, John Cena holding his World Title when he was 12 in the exact way he held his 8th title when he won.For me? My destiny, as I feel it, was IBA. Institute of Business Administration, Dhaka University. The pinnacle of success. The theatre of dreams. My whole life, I've waited, wondered, and prayed for one seat to be in my name. I've had sleepless nights, anxiety attacks, and everything a guy of my age shou

She was my ultimate motivation

Image
Every single day I made myself wake up so early in the morning was only because of her.She was my ultimate motivation.Every morning I used to go to the construction site wearing the red wing work boots for plantar fasciitis .Which she bought for me.She always buys me gifts.But I do too.When I can that is.I bought her a pair of the best shoes for standing all day when I heard that she took a new job as a cashier. But sadly, I wish If Only I Could Touch You.I jolted awake in a pitch-black room, panting in a sweat-drenched T-shirt. I squinted through the darkness to see the time. Still overwhelmed by the after-effects of the recurrent dream, I sunk back to the bed. How could a dream be so vivid? With my ice closed, I tried to remember each and every detail.I plunged into an unexpected dark forest. Baffled, I glanced right and left only to see how dense it was. Suddenly, a strangely familiar chuckle bore into my ears. Unable to figure out where it was coming from, I began to run. I fa

Shoes for a particular reason

Image
I never truly understood the importance of making and branding shoes for a particular reason, to be honest.I mean whats the use?You have shoes for this.You have shoes for that and what not.But despite all these things, there are always some things that will bother you nonetheless.But what matters the most is that this shoe scenario has been bothering me for quite some time, to be honest.I just don't get it.Now you may say that I am old, arrogant and tired of my life.That I am because I cannot lie.I never did. But just see it normally.I mean why would you even need a pair of the greatest working shoes for flat feet when you can just wear flip flops.However, all my anger and frustration regarding this topic changed when one of my colleagues told me to try out some shoes that his company was making.He said that they were the best mens work shoes for standing all day . Much to my delight, to make my fellow colleague happy.I decided to give them a try.Even though at first they fe

Working as a girl

Image
You may be wondering sitting frustrated in your room talking about and thinking that you would get better opportunities if you had studied abroad.I will not deny the fact the studying abroad has its perks.But the struggles are hard and real.Take me for example.I was always the daddies girl.I never used to work.But when I came to the States I had to.There wasn't any other option than that.At first, I took the job of a waiter.And it was really hard at first.I used to work.My boss never let me sit down and take rest.Later one of my colleagues told me to slip in something like womens shoes for standing all day . A pair of womens extra wide shoes for swollen feet would have worked pretty fine as well.However as I was saying, that living abroad as an international student is never easy.Coming to the United States for college or graduate school can introduce cultural differences that even the most prepared students might not expect. From classroom etiquette to campus life, studying

Girls who were into fitness and all

Image
 I always had a thing or two for girls who were into fitness and all.Make fun all you want but when I saw her running that bright sunday morning I knew that she was surely wearing the good cross training shoes for women .Because thats how she always was.Always wanted the best for her.She's not like the rest. No, not at all.She is different in a million ways. She's the girl that believes in what comes around goes around. The one that hopes for a better day. The one with a bright smile and also the one who cries at night. She's the girl that would love to be loved. The one that looks so strong but feels so weak. She's the one who picks herself up every time she falls. She buries herself in the pages of her books. She'll never let you get near her. She put her walls up so strong and will never let anyone break that. She comes across hard to get because she's been hurt. She build the wall to protect her hurt. And why wouldn't she? People now a days doesn'

The history of soccer cleats

Image
The history of soccer cleats has always been an interesting topic that I was always interested in.Soccer is a global phenomenon sport but not everyone who plays it is aware of the history of it and it's humble beginnings.Now we may have the best cleats for soccer out there and we can get them so easily with just a click.But it wasn't always like this.The first pair of soccer cleats noted in history are those made for King Henry VIII of England, who ordered a pair from his Great Wardrobe in 1526. Pre 1891 nothing was allowed to project out of the shoes worn by a soccer player, a revision then leads to the use of small studs or bars and soccer cleats were born.It wasn't until the 1950s when Adidas introduced boots with interchangeable screw-in studs, which were made of rubber or plastic, this meant that depending on the weather and pitch conditions, players could have different studs on the same pair of cleats. Original cleats were heavy and high-ankled, but a lighter

Importance of having a father

Image
The importance of having a father can only be justified by those who aren't lucky enough to experience this beautiful love.To cherish and get adored.And just like every other girl I also faced a number of different problems from the society.But it was my dad who had been always been there to shut the haters.I loved playing basketball and everytime he would go abroad he would bring me the best socks for basketball . But he never even bought a pair of the best walking sandals for him.I wish I could upload a selfie with you right now and write long essays on how much I miss you. But you've been long gone now since way before selfies were even a thing. I wish you knew just how much it kills me to see selfies of my friends on Facebook with their dads on their birthdays almost every single day. Don't even get me started on Father's Days. I avoid all sorts of social media on those particular days. It literally rips me apart from the inside out. I wish I could take one pr

Memories of playing basketball

Image
This letter goes out to my best friend with whom I have shared countless memories of playing basketball.But sadly today now he is a distant memory.I still remember so well the days when I used to suggest him the best wide basketball shoes .Because he couldn't work with the normal ones.But that is a sadder story. Did you shiver a little in doubt upon hearing me address you as "best friend"? Did goosebumps run through your spine when remembering the moments? Did the word walk you down the memory lane? Well, mine did. I won't ask you how you're doing, because I know the answer. We spend our days right in front of each other, don't we? But sometimes, being in front of each other doesn't feel so close, eh? Remember when we weren't in the same school? When we couldn't spend time together for so long? When we had to wait for months to be able to talk to each other? Oh how close we were! We used to talk for as long as we could. Be it 3 am or 3 pm. And

Greatest basketball player of all time

Image
 I think we can all agree that Micheal Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time.No matter who you are or whether you even have a plain idea about basketball then you will very surely know that Micheal Jordan is the greatest basketball of all time.Not just because his own shoe line made headlines and still making it.Not just because the shoes that have Micheal Jordan's written on it are the best looking basketball shoes .Even though his immense basketball career played a major role and pretty much shaped up the modern basketball sneaker industry that we know today.However, these are just one of the many things that made Micheal Jordan the greatest ever to cherish the NBA courts.Now you may ask why.Well, the unique thing about MJ was that he wasn't very special as a kid.He failed most oh his young day trials.But that didn't stop him from giving up.He carried on with immense dedication and then not only had an excellent career but also teamed up with Nike to mak
