I just found out about Orthofeet.com a few months back. Bought a pair of walking shoes and sandals. Most comfortable shoes I have ever worn.

To youngsters, they probably look a little clunky, but so be it. I wore the sandals every day on vacation a few weeks back...two days at LEGOLAND, two days at Disneyland/Calif Adventure. Probably walked 6+ miles a day at each location, feet never felt better.

Although prices range between 90-140 or so, they seem to have sales every month. Their specially made insoles kick azz, too.

Kaepernick came up with the kneeling nonsense after he was benched. Unable to deal with failure, he started the kneeing and after the fact said the league was punishing him.

Kaepernick had decent games but Coaches quickly developed strategies to stop him and he wasn't sharp enough to adapt.

Not a guy you want to build your franchise around or feature in your marketing campaign.

That $%^&$ sacrificed nothing. Our soldiers have risked and and some have lost everything.

I could not be more disgusted with Nike...and I happen to know all their “equality” crap is just that. Crap.

Nike became a world brand.

The majority of the world is non-white.

They cater to the world market.

I think it’s wrong. Copperdick has “Already Done It! He’s managed to eff himself out of millions of bucks for nothing! Not that I give a fig, because I quit my interest in the NFL twenty years ago when Joe Montana retired.

What has Kaepernick sacrificed? He’s still a millionaire and his NFL was over anyway as he sucked as a QB.

Well, that remains to be seen if their strategy of unnecessarily alienating customers without seeing an overall decline in both sales and revenue actually works.

Nike never made a shoe I could wear. New Balance does a fine job for me in that sort of gear, otherwise these size 15’s go to Red Wing.

As a sister ad, they need one that says, “If you believe in something so much that you will ‘sacrifice’ for it, STFU and knock off the whining all the time.” “Just Stuff It!”

"Is Nike that stupid?"

Yes. They ARE THAT STUPID. Nike will be the clothing brand of Antifa and other traitors to the United States.

Just like everything the left believes in its all shallow and false. Everyone who knows the story knows he was benched before he started kneeling.
Nike trying to actually make us think he was a starting quarterback playing every game decides to start kneeling and they benched him so he “sacrificed everything”. Again, the left’s entire philosophy is built on a false narrative and their economic and social policies are built on a history of broken humanity, destruction and death. Communism/socialism ...whatever.
