HERTFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND, October 14, 2010 (Press-News.org) This week, active lifestyle specialists FitnessFootwear.com officially announced their new website following weeks of research and development to create the ultimate online shopping experience for sports and outdoor shoes.
Inspired by the most successful US online retailers and the biggest UK supermarkets, FitnessFootwear.com has taken a new approach to online shopping by simplifying its site with fewer pages and faster navigation.
The new website was launched last Friday morning and instantly saw a spike in traffic and sales as new customers liked what they saw and returning customers were able to quickly make their way to the checkout faster than ever before.
"We simply made sure our customers are never further than 3 clicks away from our home page," explained FitnessFootwear.com Managing Director Luke Barlow.
The new FitnessFootwear.com website uses far fewer pages, ensuring that the home page is always within easy reach while reorganising their 8,000 products into just 4 manageable main categories: Outdoor, Running, Toning and Casual.
"Shopping online should be like going to the super market," continued Mr Barlow. "You should be able to easily find what you're looking for, or at the very least know where it might be. Otherwise you get lost, confused and leave because you can't quickly find what you're looking for."
Stocking a wide range of niche footwear from casual Merrell trainers to warm, waterproof womens snow boots and even lightweight barefoot running shoes like Vibram Five Fingers, FitnessFootwear.com is a diverse sports and outdoor shoes specialist, catering for all kinds of outdoor adventurers, be they runners, hikers, or everyday dog walkers.
"We're passionate about our products," said Mr Barlow, "and we'd never sell a shoe that our staff wouldn't wear. By having first hand knowledge of our products, we're able to offer our customers unrivalled advice when it comes to their active lifestyles, whether that's running, barefoot running or something as simple as a pair of casual shoes for everyday walking."
This specialist approach has formed the foundation of FitnessFootwear.com's success, by understanding their market and their demographic while being able to intelligently forecast future opportunities.
Founded in 2004, the active life style specialists have grown year on year, continuing to focus on a niche footwear market and providing fine quality footwear for a wide range of outdoor activities at competitive prices.

A state of the art website is just the first step in FitnessFootwear.com's latest plan to deliver a superior online shopping experience to a wider online audience. Expect more exciting future developments from this web savvy underdog over the coming months!

New Treatment for Diabetic Retinopathy
2010-10-14
A study conducted by researchers from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center shows that two new treatments may slow the progression of diabetic retinopathy, a serious eye condition in people suffering from Type 2 diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy is caused by blood vessels of the retina leaking, which causes the retina to swell. New blood vessels may also develop and cause vision loss.
The two treatments followed almost 3000 patients with diabetes. About half of them had diabetic retinopathy at the beginning of the study. Over a four year period, photos of the retina ...
FBI Reports a Nationwide Increase in Mortgage Fraud Investigations
2010-10-14
Once the dust had cleared from the recent economic collapse, the media focused a great deal of blame on one group: financial professionals involved in real property transactions who were accused of fudging documents, lying to buyers, falsifying appraisals and other illegal activities. New data from one federal agency reveals a growing interest in investigating all types of mortgage fraud and helping the Department of Justice pursue convictions.
The latest annual mortgage fraud report from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reveals that the agency has taken a greater ...
Florida Court Requires Proof of Breath Test Accuracy in DUI Cases
2010-10-14
A September 2010 decision by a Florida Circuit Court judge has upheld a Monroe County Court ruling that limits the use of breath test results by prosecutors in drunk driving cases. The opinion, which will likely face further appeals and potentially wider application in the state, requires prosecutors to prove that the Intoxilyzer 8000 produces accurate evidence of the level of alcohol in a driver's system.
Such proof may be difficult for the state to provide in DUI cases, because the private company that makes the machine has persistently fought disclosure of the proprietary ...
Is it Time for a Change in Texas' State Jail System?
2010-10-14
In 1993, Texas made history (and drew the attention of the entire country) by establishing a state jail system designed to offer specialized treatment to certain inmates in order to lower their risk of recidivism and encourage them to become productive members of society. The program was specifically aimed at inmates convicted of a:
- Nonviolent drug-related offense
- Relatively minor theft crime
- First-offense
- Fourth-degree felony
For several years, the state jail system seemed to be working, lowering an original recidivism rate for these petty criminals from ...

Baby Boomers and Bankruptcy: Understanding the Benefits
2010-10-14
A study published in the September 2010 issue of the American Bankruptcy Institute's ABI Journal shows that a disproportionate percentage of recent bankruptcy petitioners have come from the Baby Boom generation. The study, "Aging and Bankruptcy Revisited," was based on data from as far back as 1994, and found that 42 percent of individual bankruptcy filers in 2007 were between the ages of 45 and 64. The growth in bankruptcy applicants over 55 is outpacing the aging of the American population, with an increase of 61 percent over a five-year period starting in 2002.

2010-10-14
Rodney Walters and Terri Reese have lived in their Jacksonville area home since 2006. The couple and their four children were recently ordered out of the home by a judge in Florida's new so-called "rocket docket" foreclosure courts.
The New York Times reports that the couple faces a predicament common in Florida: they owe approximately twice as much on their house as it's worth.
Walters and Reese fell behind on their mortgage two years ago after property taxes jumped.
Something else that they have in common with other Florida homeowners facing foreclosure: they ...

Deepwater Horizon Owners Turn to Old Law Used in 'Titanic' Case
2010-10-14
We've all heard about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the efforts by BP to cap the well, contain the oil, and clean the Gulf. In the wake of the tremendous economic loss to the region, many have forgotten about the original fatal maritime accident on April 20 and the eleven lives lost that day. But to the survivors of the explosion and the families of those who died, the initial accident remains the paramount concern.
With a catastrophe of this size, lawsuits are inevitable. What may surprise many is that Transocean, the owner of the sunken Deepwater Horizon ...
