Great Capezio Womens DS11A Fierce Dansneaker
... that I'd managed to live to be almost 40 before I read this novel. Now I have to spend the next 40 years telling others to read it.
I've avoided Westerns the way I've avoided Harlequin Romances, Andy Garcia Films, and the Ice-Capades. However, calling this book a Western is kind of like calling Moby Dick a boating guide.
True, all the stock and traditional of the typical Western are here (The silent loner, the gunfighter, the Indians), but they've been de-romanticized - forced to be viewed under the microscope of reality. The protagonist speaks very little throughout the book. Not because he's the strong silent type, but because he has nothing to say. The other characters (The Judge, Toadvine, Tobin, etc.) are a fascinating mixture of cruelty and humanity. McCarthy even manages to avoid the PC temptation to depict the Indians as noble savages.
The real power of this book lays it its sense of realism. McCarthy can describe a cantina down to the tiniest speck of dust, a mountain down to a single rock, and a gunshot wound down to the smallest drop of blood. Also, there are lines of dialog that you just can't shake:
The Judge: The freedom of birds is offensive to me. If I had my way, I'd see them all in a zoo.
Toadvine: That would be one Hell of a zoo.
Toadvine on the cruel Mexican guard: My biggest fear is that some evil might befall him. I pray to God, daily, to watch over him.
There's no way that I'm going to do justice to this wonderful / disturbing / thought-provoking / nightmarish work in a short review. Just buy it. Hurry!
Now, if only someone would write a dark and disturbing Harlequin Romance.

I am a professional fitness/dance instructor and I love this shoe!! I teach a number of latin dance based cardio classes and have found that this is the perfect shoe to handle all of the turns,lateral dance moves as well as the sculpting routines in my class.
ReplyDeleteThanks To ALL those people that has given a review on this shoes they were right YOU have to get them a size BIGGER I am a size 6 and I got them a size 7 they fit great and feel awesome. you won't regret getting them IF you get them one size bigger very important.
ReplyDeleteThe shoes are comfortable, and supportive. They have the height in the heel that makes dancing easier and the give to make your feet flexible.
ReplyDeleteI have been wearing these dance sneakers to Zumba class from the moment I received them. They are very comfortable and flexible and they do not get in your way with the footwork. I heeded the advise of other posters and purchased a size larger and they fit perfectly! I also have a wider and hard to fit foot and I have not had any issues with these shoes.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion you can not go wrong with these sneakers.
these shoes are great. I was having knee problems from wearing regular tennis shoes. Thought I was going to have quit going to zumba but the shoes made it possible to continue. I would recomment these to anyone. You do need to order them atleast a size bigger.
ReplyDeleteGreat Shoe! I teach Zumba so I needed a shoe that I could use for fitness and spinning, sliding moves. They worked out great. The shoe does run extremely small. I wear a street shoe 9. My running shoes are a 10. I purchased a 10.5 and I'm glad I didn't go any smaller. I'd definitely get another pair if I ever needed them. No problems at all.
ReplyDeleteI bought Capezio Fierce Dancesneaker for my once a week Zumba class.I am very satisfied with these shoes as they are perfect for Zumba. It is so much fun to do all the moves wearing this dancesneakers! I wear size 6.5. I ordered size 7.5. I was a bit dissappointed when I tried them on because the right shoe was a bit tight. I wear my Capesio with thick socks. However after wearing this shoes for several weeks the feeling of tightness completely went away. I am glad that I did not get size 8. Order at least one size bigger! Once you put them on for your dance class the sole would show the signs of wear.
ReplyDeleteI bought these for Zumba classes because regular sneakers are clunky and stick to the floor, making it difficult to pivot, slide, and shake to the latin beat. I'm enjoying the class so much more with the right shoes. According to the Zumba instructor, these shoes shouldn't be worn for other fitness classes, so the price offered on Amazon.com was just right. My street shoe size is 8; and based on the reviews I read, I bought a size 9, and they fit.
ReplyDelete6/5/2010 - I am on my second pair!! The first pair lasted through 2-3 Zumba classes per week, AND when they got a little stinky, I'd throw them into the wash (cold water gentle cycle). Great shoe for a great price!
I purchased these due to I was having a hard time doing Zumba with regular tennis shoes. The strain that I was putting on my knees and back was horrible. I had noticed some of the "seasoned" ladies had these on and they told me to go to a dance studio to purchase them. I have had the ballet dance shoes and those hurt my feet as well, no support. I used these and THEY MADE A DIFFERENCE. I was able to complete the entire zumba dance class with ease and able to get the full work that Zumba was made for, I would not go back to tennis shoes for any reason for any dance class.
