Fila Minotona
Fila recently celebrated its 100 year anniversary as a company. The Fila brothers initially opened in 1911 in Biella a small town in northern Italy. Much of the creations the brothers has coined were in combining “luxury, art and utility,” having drawn inspiration from the landscape to create a product like none other. By 1923 the brothers where officially on the books in a limited partnership as Maglifico Biellese spending its ensuing years expanding to 1942 when the company merged with the Fratelli Fila company and another 30 years later the company had sales well over one billion Lire and more than 250 people on their staff.
Throughout the years Fila had drawn its inspiration from landscapes and coming up with a model they would live by which would be “sport is life expressed through motion, and that sportswear must complement, not overpower the athlete.” Seemingly Fila has kept true to its roots in consistently instilling these as core values for their vision,remaining true to their company creating textiles based on the “austerity of the Alps, the fluidity of the hills and the boldness of the Mediterranean coast.”
One of Filas most simple creations to grace the footwear market is the Fila Women’s Minotona Sneaker. This sneaker has had such a positive influence on health and fitness due to its phenomenal price and its attributes, its really been an astounding quality buy for many. This shoe is a great cross-training shoe, so if you are doing light running, along with work in the gym this would be a great shoe for you. It features a mesh upper for breathability with synthetic leather overlays for added lightweight support. This shoe proves to be good if you are running outside because of its light color with accenting metallics you’ll be seen more in the early morning or early evening and not have the added worry. What stands out in this shoe is the cushion at such a great value, it has a heavily cushioned tongue, collar and insole to get you through your workout without any pains. The out-sole is a triangular patterned out-sole with added flex grooves for traction on various surfaces, from grass, to asphalt and even to the rubber impact tile at the gym.

I love these, they are a great color and are a fantastic find, I’ve already bought two more pairs that are sitting in my closet in blue and pink so I can use them later!”
Donna from Lafayette, New York,”I bought these a while ago since I’m not too much about fitness but I’ve been going to the gym regularly. These are so comfortable, they’re perfect for my style too, not too crazy on the colors. I certainly plan on purchasing more, hopefully they’ll keep me going to the gym.”
