i love wearing athletic clothing. Its not that im not athletic, im just kind of petite and artsy (though i do wish i was an athlete)
So do you think its weird for someone who doesn’t play any sports to wear athletic shoes or clothing like Nike or Adidas?
because i go to an all girls school and its very competitive about sports (the reason i didnt try out for anything) and mostly the girls that play sports have that style and i always feel weird because i dress like a jock and im more of an artsy person.
your opinion?

It’s not weird if you don’t overdo it. Also think of the northface epidemic. 3/4 of the non-athletic population wears those jackets which were intended for hiking. so its pretty much normal.

The clarks website wont let you order for kids online. But my daughter was measured in a shop…we couldnt buy her shoes at the time as we had an emergency! Our nearest shop is 2 hours away! Is there anywhere where I can order??
Thanks, but I cant get to the shop as I dont drive and its difficult for me to traval for a while. I can only order online.

hi,
i work for clarks. You can order them online, but we wouldn’t be able to do home delivery as the child has to come into the store for us to do the fitting and checkings. You wouldn’t have to pay for them at the time of ordering. When your nearest store receives the delivery they should phone you up to let you know that the shoes are ready for you to come anytime in store. If you are happy with the shoes then you pay for them, if not let them know so. Hope this helps even though it may not help that you live so far away from a clarks shoe shop. Good luck!

I’m off to New York and Washington on a school trip this Feb, and really need some advice on what shoes to take! I don’t want to take too many pairs, maybe a couple: e.g. nice going out shoes and walking around shoes. We are going to be doing a LOT of walking.
I’m not the hugest fan of walking boots, and a pair or warm, waterproof COMFORTABLE shoes are what I’m looking for!
I would desperately appreciate some help
:)

You dont really need anything special unless the weather is bad to be honest- tennis shoes are fine. Boots arent really needed, again unless the weather is calling for snow or rain.

I have a herniated disc and scaitica so I’m looking for a good athletic shoe. Even a running shoe. Any ideas? I heard Saucony is good?

Should you be running at all? I’m an addict, but if I had a herniated disc I would really consider my options. Swimming might be a lot better since there’s no impact; running will put a lot of impact on your herniated disc, no matter what shoe you buy. Really, even if you could run in a bounce house, you’d still be getting about twice your weight loaded onto the disc each step; for realistic surfaces like a good, spongy track, you can easily create five times your weight in impact (a short stroke of energy in a small amount of time).

So ask your doctor or chiropractor if running is wise. I would think not.

If you simply want a good shoe for walking around (not running), a walking show would be best since it’s designed for the walking stride, which is different than the running stride. Try out a few pairs, you’ll see.

For a good tennis player, the foot is quicker than his mind. It seems as if the foot has its own intelligence to act upon the bouncing needs. As Tennis needs a lot of side to side movement and forward and backwards movements on the court, it’s very essential that the tennis shoes you wear for your game keeps your feet comfortable. There are lots of shoe brands for tennis shoes that cluster the market for being noticed like Adidas, Fila, Lotto, Prince, Yonex, Babolat, Head, New Balance, Reebok….. the list goes on.

Here are three best pairs of shoes from three famous brands:

Nike Air Zoom Mystify III

Imagine shoes being designed just for the needs of a pro, then the Mystify line of Nike is the definite answer. Many top professionals wear Mystify III, including Maria Sharapova and Daniela Hantuchova. Like those pros, this shoe brings performance, glamour and high style to the courts.

Beauty of the Mystify is not just skin deep alone. Underneath the shining cosmetics is a powerful technology to bring players’ feet closer to the ground for optimum feel and maneuverability: Nike’s Zoom Air. The Momentum Control System keeps the shoe stable and offers optimum comfort and performance. To give an added performance feel, Nike’s Contour Speed Fit allows the shoe to conform to the foot, giving each player a glove like fit.

Adidas CC Feather 2 Remix

Once again, Adidas brings back the popular CC Feather II in this exciting Remix color. CC Feather is one of the best speed oriented shoe available for clay court besides having a glamorous look. The ClimaCool Feather II is a lightweight performance shoe which combines match day performance with the comfort and durability needed for long training sessions.

Pro players who used this shoe on clay included Marat Safin, Guillermo Coria and Tim Henman.

Prince OC-1 Men’s Shoes

Prince’s M-Series had a great last and has gained a huge reputation for it. And now built on the same last as the M-Series, the OC-I provides Optimum Cushioning offering more room for a more universal fit while improving on the Precision Tube Technology. The shape of the tubes has been slightly varied by Prince to round instead of oval for more effecient cushioning. Use of lighter gauge Precision Tubes for a softer, more cushioned ride is one of the killer feature of OC-I. An AirMesh tongue and breathable synthetic upper allows feet to breathe and combines with a DriLex lining for lasting comfort during long matches. Lastly, Prince’s Goodyear Max outsole features a 6-month durability guarantee!

High Heel Shoes – a status symbol for the elite, a few more inches of height for the petites, a fashion fad for the style conscious and a sex symbol for divas. Femmes have very different and sometimes absolutely whimsical reasons for purchasing that latest daring and sometimes damn uncomfortable heels that may have hit the market, but buy they must.

It sometimes occurs to me that women have some sort of undiscovered gene that tells them they owe a livelihood to their neighbourhood podiatrist. Perhaps this is what crazily drives them towards those killer high heels shoes!

Types of High Heel Shoes

Let’s keep jokes and the ladies apart for a while and take a closer look at these high heel shoes. You will be astonished to observe the aesthetic appeal of the heels themselves and will be stunned to note how the manufacturers have categorized them into distinct categories. Based on these heels, high heels shoes are classified further. Listed here are the prominent types of high heel shoes for your knowledge –

Kitten heel – A kitten heel has a short, slender heel, usually from 1.5″ to 2″ high with a slight curve. This type of heel is particularly common on sandals.
Stiletto high heels – Also called “spike” or “spiked” heels, a stiletto heel is a long, thin heel which may vary in length from only a few centimeters up to 18 cm (7 inches).
Spool heel – A spool heel is wide at the top and bottom and narrower in the middle.
Stacked heel – This one has a few materials stacked on top of each other.
Wedge heel – A wedge high heel runs under the foot, from the back of the shoe to the middle or front.
Court shoes – Court shoes are a ladies low cut ’slip on’ shoes with the heel ranging typically from 1 to 4.5 inches.

Sexy Shoes

Did you find yourself mesmerized while watching and feeling the cut, shape and the aesthetic appeal of the high heel shoes? I am sure you were when you visited the shoe store last time. So can’t we say that woman’s shoes have a huge sex appeal of their own? I bet you will agree. But I am sure women don’t buy sexy shoes simply because they were attracted to them. Rather they buy a pair because they feel that particular shoes will make them look sexy!!

Sexy High Heels

Let’s now unravel how sexy high heels makes a woman appear and also feel sensual.

– To start with, a pair of sexy high heel shoes elongates the lines of the legs and makes them appear slimmer and longer. – It changes a woman’s stance and gait in a seductive fashion as the height of the heel alters the wearer’s center of balance, creating a walk that makes the hips sway and the bottom protrude. – High heels also make the wearer look taller and slimmer, creating an air of confidence and sophistication which is, in itself, sexy.

Platform Shoes

Hmm, the advantages of heels are alluring but what is there for you if those sexy stilettos make you wobble despite of your best efforts to walk in them? Don’t be deterred, there are still options for you. Cute and smart platform shoes are back in fashion. The usual three to four inches platform shoes are much more comfortable to strut in with their thick soles. Higher ones of course, require a lot more practice and are typically worn by those in the adult entertainment industry.

Now, with all this knowledge on women’s shoes I am sure you will pay a lot more attention towards the aesthetic appeal of the women’s high heel shoes and what is secretly being conveyed by the woman wearing those shoes.

This is another vital issue that should be considered seriously. While shopping for the shoes for your kids, it is of utmost importance to keep in mind that the skin of your kid is highly sensitive and you should be very picky when it comes to shopping for the shoes for your kid. Moreover there is another pivotal point to be kept in the fore front of the mind while shopping for the shoes for your child and that is you must look if the shoes fit perfectly. Although this seems to too a trifling thing apparently, yet as a matter of fact this particular point may turn out to be a nightmare for you and your child. This is how the shopping for the shoes for your kids proves to be too confusing.

Some of the most significant tips that would prevent you from getting trapped into the dilemma and events of nightmare lie here.

• The children are usually tend to be too naughty and run hither and thither the day long, which makes the feet swell over the course of the day. It is hence better to shop for the shoes for your kid during the late afternoon and evening.

• It will never be wise to shop for your kid’s shoes online. Although you will find a wide assortment of designs, price range, brands and quality, yet online shopping for the shoes for kids may turn out to be too detrimental. The local genuine shoe stores are obviously better. The salespersons of the real shoes stores personally measure the size of your kid’s feet and bring forth the perfect size of shoes for the little feet. Hence it is advisable to take your child while shopping for shoes for him or her.

• It would never be wise to set out for shopping for your kid’s shoes with tight budget. Budget is however essentially necessary, but with a budget too tight the story may end up with substandard quality of shoes for your kid. This may also eventually become a nightmare.

• For the kids growing too fast, the parents usually have the general tendency to buy shoes that are bigger in size. This is a general mistake that most of the parents tend to commit. The best option is to buy the perfect size – neither bigger, nor smaller. Remember that with the larger sized shoes your child may develop certain foot problem and stepping faults.

• As far as the shoes for the kids are concerned, the concept of “breaking in” of the shoes must not exist at all. The shoes must be comfortable for your child at the first wear.

• The parents must look for the shoes crafted out of the high quality leathers and canvas. This allows every step to breath fresh air, which is essential for your kid’s tender feet.

The first tip in the advice list for choosing this special type of shoes is that, you must consider support.

There are different tips for buying walking shoes and boots that have to be kept separate. If you are buying walking shoes, you would not be worried about how they would stand up to pressure you would experience while you were riding a horse, and if you had boots on you surely would not want to walk a mile in them just after you bought them.

The tips for buying walking shoes and boots would start with the type of wear that you expect to use them for. If it is incline hills that you would be walking up, then a better made walking shoe would be needed, and you could leave your boots in the closet, because wearing them on a walking trip at a fast pace is considered stupid and life threatening.

With so many styles of walking shoes and boots available to choose from, careful consideration needs to be made as far as support, that I found out from the information tray with tips for buying walking shoes and boots in it at a local department store counter. These handy words of wisdom stated that walking shoes should be broken in before they are worn to alleviate the chance of developing blisters on the heel portion of your foot. The boots will need to be broken in as well, as the cowhide they are made from is stiff and must be made, through continuous wear, to mold to the pattern of your particular foot.

Other considerations that were made in the tips for buying walking shoes and boots that I found on the counter at the local department store, said that the lacing of shoes were very important. If walking at a fast pace, the tightness in the lacing of the shoes will help increase your mileage on a pedometer. The faster you can go without worrying about tripping up on loose laces will definitely increase your walking speed capability.

With boots you do not have laces to worry about and the tips for buying walking shoes and boots, that I found on the department store counter in a box said so. The shoes that are won with the walking shoes and boots are very important. This was another one of the amazing tips for buying walking shoes and boots that I found on the department store counter. The socks absorb moisture in the walking shoes and the boots, and will take the worry out of developing blisters on the heels of your feet.
