Ep169 — Michael, It's Shoe Time

Well! We talked about your feet, and how to keep them looking good all summer long (and beyond) so now it's time to talk about your summer shoes — your birkenstocks, your flip flops, your athletic slides, your fancy sandals … all of them are gross and they need to be cleaned. On this episode, Jolie is joined by Michael Gold, who has some updates to share on his Shoe Year's Resolutions!
