The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art.  - Leonardo Da Vinci

When in doubt, punt!  - John Heisman

 In a game with a name like football, it's surprising how little attention is paid to the feet of the players. After all, the health of a player's foot can actually make or break a game. One foot injury that has been popping up in the footnotes of sports history more and more frequently is the Listfranc fracture.

JUST IN TIME FOR FALL,
NEW SLIPPERS FROM LB EVANS
LB Evans Mens Slipper CarterFounded in 1804, the L.B. Evans Slipper Company has a rich history of designing and perfecting high quality slippers for gentlemen of discerning taste. Made from a variety of materials including sheepskin, terrycloth, suede leather, and cordoroy; L.B. Evans slippers are a stylish and incredibly comfortable solution to the problem of cold feet.
 
Pictured here are the L.B. Evans Sheepskin Shearling Slipper, Carter (above) and the L.B. Evans Cordoroy Slipper, Sussex (below). The L.B. Evans Carter is, like all genuine sheepskin footwear, naturally thermostatic. This means that it keeps your feet at a comfortable, consistent body temperature. Its stretchable gorings provide an adjustable fit for men who work long shifts on their feet and suffer from foot swelling.

LB Evans Mens Slipper SussexThe L.B. Evans Sussex features a comfy full-length cushoined insole and a durable indoor/outsole so that you can fetch the mail and the morning paper without having to put socks on.
