The Mahogany Leather Boat Shoe is available for purchase nationwide.

HISTORY

Boat Shoes are also called Deck Shoes and they were created from a line of utility shoes worn in the early 40’s to become one of the most worn shoe by contemporary men of the modern times, as such have become a staple in many shoe stores across the world.

The boat shoe or deck shoes or top sider shoes, as it’s fondly called in the manufacturing industry were invented in 1935 by Paul Sperry when he noticed how easy it was for his dog to walk on slipper surface on ice and snow without slipping which was common with him as he wore a leather soled shoe.

Paul examined his dog’s paws and noticed that his grip came from his paws were shaped. He sought out to create a shoe to solve the problem of style and grip especially for sailors. He proceeded to use a knife to carve cuts underneath his leather sole to mirror the paws of his dogs into a rubber outsole.

Days after, a business was born. It was so successful that the United States Navy negotiated a deal with Top Siders to make them custom boat shoes for the Nay.

DESIGN

There are a few things that differentiate the boat shoe from other shoes and one of them is that they were largely hand sewn at the beginning. They also tend to have leather upper lawyers in brown or grey colors. The Top Siders or Boat Shoes were largely focused on these colors because they were designed for sailors. The uppers were usually made out of leather or canvas and of recent, textile.

Oxfords usually come with an open lacing system in front, Boat shoes; on the other hand tend to have a 360 degree lacing system. You must have noticed this in the pictures of the products when you visit your favorite online store. The lacing extends to both sides right to the back of the shoe. The color of the laces used makes it extremely stylish to admire and wear as the colors usually blend into one another.

USAGE

Boat Shoes can replace loafers or sneakers in your wardrobe. They can be worn with or without stocks but this depends on personal preference. As far as style goes, you are good, if you do either.

SIZE

This shoe usually come in sizes 41 to 46 but it depends on the store you purchase from. Some merchants also have sizes that run small, so you should confirm before purchasing so you can get a size that fits you and is comfortable especially if you wear bigger sizes like 45 and size 46.

PRICE RANGE

The Price range for boat shoes in Nigeria usually starts from N5,000 and it goes up from there. There are different designers so you need to know which designer and design you want. Sometimes, spending N15,000 on a boat shoe could be seen as an investment especially if you are familiar with the designer while other times, it could be the materials used in manufacturing it or whether it was mass produced or hand sewn. It all depends but the least you can get online is N5,000

Start Your Own Zikoko Viral Blog without Hiring a Developer

By now, you must have read the numerous reasons why we encourage you to buy a theme and not hire a web developer to build your website from scratch. A WordPress theme is a fully functional site that only needs to be customized to your needs.

Well, here is a recap of the reasons why we favor buying themes as against hiring developers to design your site from scratch:
1.) Saves you money because it costs less.
2.) Shorter development time because the theme is a website. If you do decide to customize it to your website, it would take a maximum of 2-3days depending on the nature of the changes.


What is the Doberman Theme?

The Doberman Theme is a theme for building viral or magazine kind of sites. It has lots of visual and appealing layout with deep integration of social media buttons for easy sharing of these updates.

Viral magazines are sites that share those crazy stories that we all love sharing online. Sites like Buzzfeed which made over $174m in revenue last year from the numerous clicks that comes to the site. For those of us in Nigeria then you must have heard of Zikoko? It is a viral magazine website that creates viral content that can be shared easily.

They share content like "12 things you would relate to if you had eaten at Iya Basira"



Color Control

WordPress theme for news site like buzzfeed image

This theme gives you complete color control. Its default color is a mixture of blue and yellow but this can be changed to any color that you want at the click of a button, you don't have to do pay a developer to change the colors to the color of your brand.


Complete Typography Control

So you don't like the Arial font?

No problem!

This theme gives you choices to change the fonts to Helevicta, Verdana, Courier, Times or even Georgia. You decide the kind of fonts that you want for your website.


Social Media Integration

Did you get your friends to share that picture about that old lady that was singing on the highway? You got 160 shares right?

Well, you can have the whole world seeing these numbers too. Showing the number of shares you have is a trust signal for users to share some more.

There you have it!

So, which do you prefer?

Getting an already made website theme or spending more money and time on developing from scratch?

A young lady in her 20's stripped completely naked at a shopping mall after her boyfriend refused to buy her an iPhone. The lady whose identity is still unknown, initially began by exchanging words with him and after she failed to persuade him to buy her the phone, she started removing her clothes and threw them on the ground in front of the public.


The boyfriend made little to no attempt to stop her and walked away as soon she stripped naked. The video of the incident is currently online and it can be seen as the naked woman tried to push her boyfriend during the incident.

How to Choose the Best Smartphone to Buy In Nigeria


There are so many phones available in the market but knowing which one to buy and when is key. It's not enough to view the phones listed on the websites also but you need to know what to look out for in every phone you admire outside of the price.

The price is one of the things most people look out for but there are many more things to check in a phone other than the price of the phone itself. Considering the fact that there are very few phone comparison websites in Nigeria, finding the cheapest deals could be a pickle.

This guide will help you navigate the stores online easily, check for your favorite brand names and compare the different features based on what you can afford.


The following steps would guide you in comparing smartphones before buying them online.

1. Check for phones with prices that you can afford.
2. Click on each of the websites to view and compare the phones within that prices range.
3. Check for the specifications of the phones in that price range.
4. Check for the model that solves your problem or that you admire enough to purchase. This is where you would check for the display size, camera pixels, battery life etc.
5. Place your order and pay on delivery.


When it comes to buying phones online, two websites have all the phones you need and they are Jumia and Konga. Everyone sells there, including Slot and some other top dealers in Ikeja, so you don't have to worry about getting the best deals.

One of the advantages of these guide is that you would be able to select the best phone that you want based on your budget and features that you look for in a phone.

Memory and Storage:

RAM is one of the terms you would hear in the description of the phone you want to purchase online. RAM means Read Access Memory. It is available in computers as well as in smartphones. This affects how fast or how slow the processes would be. So take note of this but there are other things which matters in a smartphone configuration as regards speeding up the processes. E.g a Galaxy S4 with 2GB worth of RAM won't necessary blow away the iPhone 5S with 1GB of RAM.


Screen and Display:

This is the next feature you should look into. The screen will serve as your interface and you would end up spending a lot of time staring at it on a regular basis.

What you need to focus on here when buying a smartphone is not resolution but this is not usually right as a phone with a large screen with high resolution might not be as sharp as a smaller screen with lower resolution. The key here is pixels packed into each resolution. More pixels means sharper screen.


Camera:

This is another feature you should look into before buying your smartphone online in Nigeria. Do note that some phones with lower screen pixels but higher megapixels for the camera would mean your pictures would be sharp but might not look so good on your phone unless you upload it online or transfer to your PC.

Another thing to note in your camera specs is noise. Most sellers hardly give this information to their buyers about the noise specification for the cameras so buyers have to rely on online reviews. Noise collection in camera is determined by how much and how fast it can collect photons (light) each pixel on the phone can collect. It is similar to keeping a drum under the rain. A bigger drum will collect more rain water than a smaller drum. This ability also works with smartphones. Phones with larger megapixels will do more and take sharper pictures than those with lower megapixels.

How To Create Your Own eCommerce Store using a Custom Theme


Are you tired of having Web Developers in Nigeria rip you off?

They tell you all kinds of industry terms that you find hard to pronounce just to get more money from you. The other day, a friend of mine who just finished her Masters in South Africa told me she created her Jewelry store for N600,000. I was infuriated!

Why would anyone charge close to $2000 + just to create a website?

In this article, I will show you how you can create your own eCommerce business to sell your clothes, bags, jewelry, shoes and others using WordPress Themes.

While Wordpress is free, if you want the same standard as Jumia so it's easy for users to navigate your site and buy items from you, then you need to use a WordPress Premium Theme.

Why do you need a site?


To protect your brand and keep more customers coming to you via Google search traffic( which is free)
It makes it easier for customers to refer their friends or colleagues to your site than giving them your BBM.
With as low as N5,000, you can buy Facebook ads and send traffic to the site, build a community and keep growing online organically as Jumia and Konga does.
You don't have to pay commissions as Merchants on Konga and Jumia do on a regular basis because you own your website.
It's cheap, easy to build and maintain. No programming skills required.

Ready to see what your eCommerce store would look like?

1. ) MOBILE VERSION
2.) Mobile Site Menu
3.) Mobile Site Homepage
4.) Mobile HomePage Products
5.) Mobile Product Page

Since this store will be built on Wordpress, your currency will be in Naira and you will be able to integrate Cashenvoy, Interswitch, Quickteller and Paga on the site to receive payments.

The theme comes pre-arranged with a lot of features for the female entrepreneur who doesn't want to get involved with coding. The most you would do is to drag and drop elements.

The site also comes in different colors which can be edited and changed at the touch of a button.

Building a website and getting your products online should not be so difficult. Once you have this settled, then you can start buying Nairaland Ads or Facebook Ads to promote your store for effective visibility.

There is a DEMO of this theme available also
