Is there a problem wearing a sweater with a large eagle native form on the clothes, and such?"

Oh – it was soooo cute – sooo comfortable. It was a new design by Kalso also known for the “Earth Shoe.” The Kalso Rep spoke about how Kelso was a “yogi” and designed one of the “poses” right into the shoe; the body would be in alignment. Is it okay to buy these?"
