Does this Shoes beat Nike in terms of comfort? (Vandeu Review)

Loooooong time right? Been caught up with some more tasks. It is kinda possible that I might side track blogging but let's see. So I came across this mixed reaction against a shoe brand. By now you must be aware that I love wrist accessories and shoes so much. Vandeu set me up with a pair of shoes of my choice from what was available and this is how the report goes! 

Psst: If you have been here since long then by now you must be already aware that my reviews are always extreme and totally honest. Read on for unbiased reviews :)

First online impression: The online catalogue was not totally up to it in regards to women's section. So out of 'em picked up one which suit's my style. There were only handful of items which would be preferred by today's generation. To my amaze the men's section was much more interesting. Thumbs up to the delivery on time. If not then they even made a special arrangement for me....BAM! Thanks to himesh for that.

The package was so classy. I adore such presentation. But what caught my attention the most then and now is "How light and soft it is!" I did not expect it to be so good. There is a possibility that I might have expected less from it but I gave it a chance and at first look I wasn't disappointed. The strips and pattern was exactly what I ordered for.

When I held it, it was super-duper light. I thought to myself - "Did they compromise on the quality?" So I went in for a quick visual shoot (Photo-shoot)

I vaguely remembered that they wrote on their website about being the first brand to use introduce memory cloud foam. As a Digital media marketing expert, I brushed it off because using high-end words to publicise is just the new trend and it always works. So it wasn't easy fooling me. But I must say: 'They stood to it' 

The quality was not compromised. Vandeu shoes are made out of new technology and the padding that you get is just another level. I wore them to comic con Mumbai 2017. You can find that Vlog here. I was there for about 10 hours and I didn't feel a pinch of wearing it.

Styling lace and Sole: As many fashionista's know that keeping laces inwards is cool

and it has been my style since too long too. I don't use the clippers inside to hold the laces in, instead I tuck them under sole but I noticed that the side bar holding them was fixed so the tongue of the shoe doesn't have a gap. It looks like sneaker's but doesn't have that gap as you can see from the image below. 

Talking about the padding. DAMN! SWEET! It was so smooth that I had to wear socks to make myself feel that I won't slip off the shoes haha. and there won't be any shoe bites because the design is too dynamic so it adopts to your feet in a beautiful way. This was the most impressive part about it. 

Quality: Being on feet all day and walking along dusty roads, the dirt doesn't just stick to it. You heard that right fellas. Okay it does sound like an endorsement but no, trust me on this. Go to any near-by vandeu store and just have a look yourself. 

I didn't have to clean my orange and white combo shoes at all. The quality was good. So my doubt was cleared that they are good in standards.

I was not satisfied with the review, I wanted to put those shoes to extreme ends because how come it is so good. If true then this company needs more recognition but if it fails? - then they can improve on those. So I went in for a run (You can check out that video on my YouTube channel) and haha there was nothing to complain about. They delivered what was stated. So far I love it. Can't say anything about it's life span yet but doesn't seem to fade away any soon.

Compared to my other shoe collection this was provided me with the BEST comfort in years. Not even once did the feel the strips to my upper side or toes. When a Nike would sting you after wearing for so long. You won't understand it at the moment because before I wore it, I thought having a hard sole is just the thing but creating a strong shoe with softest padding is just Vandeu. But if there's anything I would suggest is : Add more designs and varieties.

Dog, Yogi, Banyan tree: Book of the Day (2)

       What's the number one trait of successful people? Reading atleast one book everyday. If you have been following me since long then you must be aware of - how much I adore book lovers. Thanks to Hetal for hooking me up with this book, "Dog, Yogi, Banyan Tree By Rajan Sankaran" http://amzn.to/2j1Vq7v (Click on link to get it on amazon).
As soon as it arrived, being a creative I wondered why was this cover chosen! I took a good look at the entire book, publication, dedication, about me, the font style, number of pages and then the index. It made zero sense to me. I have always been great at putting up puzzles together but to me it made zero sense about what it could be.

   
I started reading it, it didn't take me a single page of read to get attached to it. Because every single line made perfect sense and followed my code of ethics, lifestyle. Before we hop into the summary here's a quick look at stats:

• Dog, Yogi, Banyan Tree
• Author: Mr. Rajan Sankaran
• Pages: 222 + 1 Note to the reader
• Chapters: There are no numbered chapters but 28!
• Suitable for: Everyone who is keen for self growth.
• Quotes that will keep up your reading spirit.
• Hilarious narration, to make it a point will be found in this book.

If you are an Indian then you won't be bored at all because you can directly relate to it. If you are a non-indian then it's extra thrilling to you because I can't think of anyone else who would describe Idli and sambhar like Mr. Sankaran did. I feel amazed at such a beautiful description of things that are hard to explain.

Summary: I won't be a spoiler but here's why you should read it. If you are an Indian then nothing will be as relateable and that's included in past as well as in current day when it comes to our culture, parents and our childhood. This book doesn't dwell in past nor excites in future. It's everything from the past till date. So there's no seed unturned, every generation will relate to this. You will feel like you are wearing author's shoes even though you didn't walk in them.

I feel completely attached as I have been blessed to be a south Indian and Mumbaikar (Residents of Mumbai are called:) at the same time. He has the same story more or less. The places he visited, travelled flashed through my eyes as he penned down enriching words to describe that place because I have been there. (Except Kashmir and Zurich) Apart from that, his guru's , work ethics, code of life, his beliefs in Sri Ramakrishna Paramhans, baba nityananada, Ramana Maharashi, Kanchi and also prominence places like Arunachalam, Tiruvannamalai are an integral part of my life. This statement itself indicated the amount of connection and state of mind one's in.

At one point, it started feeling as if I received a book about my future because the past and the present fit perfectly! It's terrifying to receive your future book. Trust me! :D So this book walk's you through Mr. Sankaran's life while explaining specific details that will help you for self growth. You just need to have the passion for learning and developing yourself in a better way. There's no time to make all the mistakes and learnt, instead books are a treasure and a shortcut to skip those hard troubled times and to jump to a solution. It has all the possible real life situations one would face in his life time. Deal with it, roll with it and move with it. He made it reader centric so even though it was about his life, it didn't feel like one because of the life lessons that were taught!

Let alone reading this book, brought me into another dimension. I must be thankful for what's walking into my life and my courage to direct only positive thoughts. If you don't speak spiritual then you will definitely speak into one after reading this book. It's nothing related to religion or race! It's all about mind and the soul. Music makes everyone happy, love makes you dance, hunger makes you aggressive and pain makes you change. Similarly reading this book will take you to a new perspective though and soon you will start living a new life. Which will be more meaningful, far better and graceful. It's your choice to order this book here: http://amzn.to/2j1Vq7v
or not learn anything this year. You will be missing on this if you don't. Trust me! Once again, I'm honoured to read this book. Thank-You!

This weekend, pick up this book and heal yourself!
