Time Magazine included the Nike Zoom Victory spike shoes on its list of the "Best Inventions of 2008." Designed for running 800-5000 meters at a time, these Nike+ iPod-enabled training shoes are the lightest "middle distance" spike shoes Nike has ever made. They have what Nike calls Flywire technology: Thin nylon fibers that provide strength, durability, and hold your feet in place without slipping. And somehow the sole is thin enough for "optimum feel... more

Remember Toms shoes? They're the Argentinian style espadrilles that got so much attention because for every pair sold, the company donates a pair of new shoes to a child in need. Well Toms now makes these crazy wrap boots that seem to be inspired by Ace bandages. They're basically the same as the regular espadrilles, with a long piece of elastic wrap that extends from the ankle. You use that long piece to... more

If you are the woman carrying the Acme Made Trixy laptop tote bag this morning in San Francisco's SOMA district, we apologize for stalking you. We were just trying to get a better look at your bag, and the little "Acme Made" tag was so small that we couldn't read it from a respectful distance. We admire your taste in bags, especially after looking this one up. The Trixy is actually 3 bags in... more

Welcome to the latest episode of New Adventures in Men's Underwear. In case you haven't been paying attention, women's underwear has kinda peaked with thongs and push-up bras; there isn't much left to do that hasn't already been done. Men's underwear, however, is a different story. For years it was all about white briefs and boxers. Then came solid colors! stripes! boxer briefs! Now it's all about graphics. On the outside you may be Regular... more

We have a love-hate relationship with Sigerson Morrison shoes. We love their designs but we hate their prices. So we're wondering if anyone's picked up any of the shoes in the Sigerson Morrison line for Target. Some of these ankle boots, pumps, and flats look really cute, and at $30 - $40 the prices are right, but how do they fit and feel? Will they last more than one season? Let us know... more

Whether you're a "recessionista" or just starting your holiday shopping early, check out the cashmere sweaters for men and women at Old Navy. Many of them are on sale right now; the striped men's sweater shown here has been marked down to $49.50, and the women's Johnny collar cashmere tops featured in the Oprah magazine are now half off (just $25).

Now that the election is over, something tells us there will still be strong demand for Obama apparel. You've probably seen this image of Barack Obama done by Shepard Fairey, the guy behind "Obey" and "Andre the Giant has a posse." It's available on tshirts for men and women in several different colors. Looking for something a little sexier? Hail to the brief.

What is so exciting about Sorel boots, and why are so many people coming to mySimon to find them? Three reasons. First, Sorels combine leather uppers with rubber bottoms and removable felt liners, so you stay both warm and dry. Second, Sorels are comfortable enough for just about any outdoor winter activity. And third, they're surprisingly affordable as far as rugged, waterproof winter boots go. (The "Joan of Arctic" boots shown here cost around... more

Keep your hands warm this winter with a pair of UGG gloves. They're not exactly appropriate for dressy occasions (we wouldn't wear them to the opera, for example), but for day-to-day winter activities like shoveling snow, starting snowball fights, and commuting, they look a lot warmer and more comfortable than those Isotoners Mom puts under the tree every year. Choose from a variety of styles, colors, and lengths for men and women. And if... more

The November issue of In Style magazine has a full-page feature called "The Better Sweater" on the perfect cashmere cardigan. The author picked up 11 cashmere cardigans under $250 from big chains and department stores, and them took them to a cashmere expert, who examined them all and proclaimed the Ann Taylor cardigan the winner. Why? Because of its dense knit, tight buttonhole closures, knit (not sewn-on) collar, and smooth hem and cuffs... more

Getting sick of "sexy" Halloween costumes? Why not take it one step further with Promiscuous costumes? That's the actual brand name. We just discovered them at Zappos - who, by the way, does overnight shipping so there's still plenty of time to slut up for Halloween. Promiscuous makes racy versions of nurses, Disney characters, bugs, law enforcement officials, and superheroes, but our favorite is the boxer, shown here, because there is nothing sexier than... more

We've got good news and bad news. The bad news is that Marc Ecko's white Star Wars Storm Trooper hoodie, shown here, is so popular that it's out of stock. The good news is that it should be back in stock by November, and they won't charge your credit card until they ship it. More good news is that this hoodie is just one item in a much larger Marc Ecko Star Wars collection,... more

Get 2 Halloween outfits in 1 with a "heavenly devil" costume. For women who are a little bit naughty and a little bit nice, these costumes are all angel on one side (white fabric and wing) and devil on the other (red fabric and tail). Even the headpieces have split personalities. Why should you have to choose between "trick" and "treat" when you can have both? More Halloween costume ideas.

Guys, it's getting a little late in the year to wear your regular Crocs. Ease yourself into the colder months with these Crocs Ambler boots. Available in 2 colors, the pull-on/pull-off suede boots have a soft fleece lining and Crocs' signature cushioning rubber insoles with molded massaging nubs. Crocs doesn't say anything about them being waterproof, so they're probably not, but they'll keep your feet warm and comfortable until it's time to dig out... more

What's even better than a 1980s Homecoming Queen costume for Halloween? Prom Date Ken. The costume comes with a powder blue tuxedo jacket (the pocket square has "Ken" printed on it), matching cummerbund, white ruffle dickie with attached bowtie, Ken doll arm tag, and - the best part - a yellow plastic wig. Get your wife/girlfriend to dress up as Barbie (or else tell other people at the party that you're looking for her)... more
