Both President Obama and Prince Charles Choose Custom Sneakers, Why Not You?

In this day and age, pursuing the personality seems to be pretty important for the different trendsetters. In their opinion, only doing like that can they stand out among the crowd. As a matter of fact, personality is not only the paten for the fashion icons, but also for some politicians. Don't be stunned, I am not going to exaggerate it, but it’s just the truth. For example, both President Obama and Prince Charles choose custom sneakers to be unique.

According to the local news, “recently President Obama received a pair of custom New Balance running shoes during a fundraising trip to Maine on Friday. As Reuters reports, Maine congressman Mike Michaud gave the president the shoes with a legislative intent in mind--Michaud wants Obama to require the military to outfit service members with domestically produced athletic shoes”.

Actually, President Obama is not the first politician who chooses the custom shoes. “Prince Charles has at least 14 pair of custom canvas sneakers that I know of, because we sold them to him," says John Hlustik, one shoemaking firm’s managing director. "He's rather fond of what we call our house shoe--an unlined, lightweight slip-on--very comfortable for puttering 'round the royal estates, you see. The style was in fact commissioned by the prince's grandfather, George VI. They're quite popular.”

You know why the handmade shoes usher in the new generation of fashion, even politicians opt for them. Let’s see, the initial visit to the shop is a unique experience. You'll be there about an hour, and your feet will be more carefully examined than by a podiatrist. Before you actually get to the point of discussing the kind of shoes you want, measurements must be taken. As you stand on a piece of white paper, each foot will be traced. Then you'll sit, and differences in the feet "at rest" will be noted. Each foot will be measured with the tape: complete length, breadth at ball and heel, height and position of arch, and a half dozen other exacting notions. Finally, the personal idiosyncrasies are studied. So the all things you did is just to look for the true individualities.
