Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum race to the best shoe page in twitter. Who will find it first?

1. Getting fit in 'Silver Sneakers'

   Tweedle Dee says: This article starts out with an big ugly ad in Purple and Yellow for "Harrahs." Which seems to have nothing to do with sneakers and getting fit.

   I think you should just get fit and not worry so much about what you put on your feet. Fitness is important, shoes are not!

   Tweedle Dum says: Pretty good article there about silver sneakers, although I have no idea what it has to do literally with silver sneakers. I was very very disappointed with my search results for silver sneakers. Does anyone know where to get some? P.S. the annoying duplicated job posting on the page was a little out of place

   Tweedle Dee says: Completely unexciting... expensive, unnatural, and downright stupid looking shoes.

   Tweedle Dum says: Well those look like they can be pretty nice as sneakers go. My husband plays basketball so perhaps I will check out a pair for him. Oh..what's that?... OH they don't come out until November! Why the hell are you putting a stupid no content advertisement on your page NOW then?

2. Are high-end sneakers the way of the future? Jimmy Choo thinks so - Fashion + Beauty on Shine

   Tweedle Dee says: Too many nofollow links embeded in this article to make it worthy of a comment... but the future is going back to nature and over priced "luxury" shoes full of artificial materials is NOT the future. Not economically and not ecologically.

   Tweedle Dum says: Are you freaking kidding me? Is there no sanity in the world any more? Who coined the phrase "Luxury Athletic Footwear"? We all know that ahtletes and luxury don't fit hand in hand. Hard working athletes need RESPECTABLE sneaks, not some high falutin fake alligator covered gym shoe in disguise! Shame on you people who buy this crap!

3. Study: Humans Were Born To Run Barefoot : NPR - StumbleUpon

   From @nprnews: Barefoot Running Reduces Impact On Feet << very hard to heel strike in barefeet (@echifit)

   Tweedle Dee says: Everything is better without shoes... even running. I don't think you need to be a rocket scientist to realize that humans (and other animals) were created without shoes... so it must be better to be barefooted!

   Tweedle Dum says:  guess this is why my body doesn't store up energy when I run barefoot. Seems you have to have an arch in your foot as explained by the all knowing professors. I am flatfooted and therefore have no arch whatsoever. I think their comments about the fact that our ancestors have been running for a million years barefoot is stunning. Well, I suppose the mammoth hunters didn't get Nike's ad in the paper!

4. Americans Long Way From Running Barefoot : NPR

   Nice article about the difference how your feet absorb shock if you're running barefeet vs. wearing running shoes: (@samipaju)

   Tweedle Dee says: Now Nike is trying to sucker us into spending money on shows that emulate running barefoot. Why not just go barefoot. I can't imagine it is ever better to wrap your feet in plastic (the essence of what are are doing when you put on shoes).

   Nature knows best and we can't help to emulate it or outsmart mother nature.

   Tweedle Dum says: Wow, we would have never figured out by ourselves that running barefoot would not be such a good idea over surfaces littered with glass, stones and assorted litter!
