Pointe shoes! for beginner!?

I want to get pointe shoes, but not take pointe, i take ballet, but i hear and have read that to take pointe you have to be really committed and take like 4 hours of ballet a week. what is a good brand? could you just tell me a a good shoe for begginers! like the number of the shoe, should i get a soft shank? i dont no all the terms please, give me a good shoe plus all that info. i have small narrow feet, i am size 6 1/2 what size would i be in the shoe? i am in junoir high and i want to get shoes off ebay, i dont want to spend 60 dollars on shoes i wnot use every day. i need advice, i have taken ballet for 7 years, and never pointe, my studio is a top 50 studio in the US and they dont offe rpointe, but i want to be a fashion designer, and i go to ptivate school, but they have no danc eteam and i like cheer, i dont no what ot do with my life! o, i also would like to take a sewing class and art class but there are none offered around here....ugh...help!

Pointe shoes! for beginner!?
First of all, I am very sorry to inform you that teaching yourself pointe is not only a bad idea but can be VERY dangerous. The only person who could tell you if you are ready for pointe would be your dance teacher, you have to have very strong ankles or else you can seriously injure yourself, which is a reason why you shouldn't self-teach. Another reason why you shouldn't teach yourself is because you can get yourself into bad habbits and teach yourself the wrong technique, dancing pointe is no where near the same as to dancing flat ballet. Another thing, ordering pointe shoes on ebay are a BIG no, I can not stress this enough. Unless you have danced en pointe before and have been professionally fitted for those shoes you CAN NOT buy pointe shoes on ebay they do not run like street shoes and every shoe is different, one shoe might work for your foot and another may not. Pointe shoes have to be very fitted to your foot and depending on the width and arch of your foot effects the style of shoe you should get and how strong your feet are could also effect what kind of shank you use. Bottom line, don't teach yourself pointe. I know you are very eager to throw yourself up en pointe, but it's not safe, find another studio near by that offers it. Every studio has their own requirements as to how much ballet you need to take with pointe, i take ONE ballet class for an hour with my pointe class, that's it, but I also take many other classes as well. Dance is a commitment and you have to want to do it. As far as the cheer, art and sewing classes, I don't know where you live so I cannot suggest places but why don't you look around in your local papers, online and stuff. Just ask around.
Reply:you shouldnt go on pointe if your studio doesnt offer it. and what studio do you go to? mine is also in the top 50 =]. anyways dont ever ever ever buy pointe shoes online untill you get them fitted professonaly at a dance store. its worth the $60 because you could seriously mess up your feet!
Reply:if u havent taken pointe prep, and you wont ever take pointe dont get pointe shoes! it could be really dangerous no matter how long you've danced! there not just for looks! and if your not willing to be commited taking dance at all is a waste of time...if you think you can do pointe with no dedication you are gravely mistaken because you cant. stick to ballet. oh and ps all pointe shoes are around 60 dollars so sorry if ur not going to be dedicated and use them its a waste of money.
Reply:wtf???
Reply:DONT GET THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... to a studio that offers pointe classes. It is really unsafe...you can break and ankle, permanitly dammage your toes, break your toes, over all, you just ruin your feet and ankles and regret it later. just dont get them. switch dance studios to a 1 that offers pointe classes so you can get properly prepaired. I know you really want to, bt seriously, take my advice and dont get them. If people could get pointe shoes whenever they want, then there would e 5 year olds on enpointe. Just dont do it. I can garuntee that in 10 years, you will regret it if you get them. Just dont get them...especially without permission or proper training.And yes, you have to be very committed with pointe shoes. Also, eBay pointe shoes are even more dangerous. Just dont get pointe shoes. Point blank.





POINTE SHOES ARE NOT TOYS.
Reply:Well, it's not safe to take pointe without training, no matter how much ballet you've done. And also, you don't have to be full out commited to pointe to do it. I take less than 3 hrs of ballet a week and do 30 minutes of pointe, in addition to other dance. Doing pointe without the help and supervision of a pro can cause a lot of injury and pain. I'm begging you not to make this mistake. Also, you can't just get shoes off ebay, especially not your first pair. Pointe shoes have to be fitted to your foot because several factors determine the type of shoe, not just size. You must know the shoe width, vamp width, shank hardness, and be able to try them on.


Honestly, don't do this to yourself. Pointe's not a joke and shouldn't be messed around with. If you aren't serious enough to go get fitted and take classes so that you don't get injured, then it's probably best just to find something else to do.
Reply:yeahh what studio do you go to. mines in the top 50 too =]]

What is the best odor/bacteria killer spray for use on workout shoes?

febreeze and anything with baking soda





also, i found this:





Odor-causing bacteria thrive in dark, damp spaces, which makes your sweaty tennies an ideal habitat. You'll need to wipe out the smelly bacterial population to achieve truly odor-free shoes.





Instructions


STEP 1: Examine the shoes. Are the insoles damp and causing the odor? Remove them and dry them. Or replace them with insoles formulated to kill bacterial growth, available at drugstores. STEP 2: If the shoes are slightly damp, place them in the sun or near a heater and allow to dry thoroughly. Remove laces and lift the shoes' tongues to fully air out the shoes. STEP 3: Put the shoes in a zipper-lock plastic bag and place them in the freezer overnight. The freezing temperatures will kill most odor-causing bacteria. STEP 4: If odor remains after the freezing, pour baking soda into the shoes and leave it in overnight to absorb the odors. Or use products designed to remove shoe odor, which are available at supermarkets and drugstores. STEP 5: If all else fails, go to a pet store and purchase an odor remover such as Nature's Miracle that contains enzymes or bacteria. The enzymes and bacteria in these products literally eat away the source of the bad odors. Follow the instructions carefully as you apply the product to your shoes. Overall Things You'll Need


Zipper-lock Plastic Bag


Odor-controlling Insoles


Baking Soda Or Shoe Odor Products


Odor Remover With Enzymes Or Bacteria


Overall Tips %26amp; Warnings


Dry shoes thoroughly after they become wet to prevent smelly bacterial growth.


If your feet sweat a lot, wear lightweight cotton socks that allow your feet to breathe. You can also try odor-absorbing foot powder. And invest in two pairs of athletic shoes so that your shoes can dry out.

I am starting track next week, do i need shoes spicificly for track or can i just use regular running shoes?
You definitely need some running shoes to train in, and spikes are optional, if you have them you will do A LOT BETTER. When you say relays and middle distance, I will assume that the longest relay you will run is the 4x400m and the longest "middle distance you will run is the 800, mile + 2 mile is considered long distance and the 400 is sprinting. So you will probably want sprinting spikes because you will be running 400s and 800s, but when you go to a running store, tell them which events you are running and they can help you decide.
Reply:You don't need track spikes, any pair of tennis shoes should work fine. I would start the season out with normal shoes then, if you feel good enough and are important to your team I would look into getting a good pair of Spikes.
Reply:you should have a good pair of training shoes...





you can compete in these..but most track runners get track spikes...





talk to the coach he will tell you whats best
Reply:You need good cross trainer fitted by a person at a running store if you have one in your area.Then as you see what events your going to run then you'll know what kinda spikes you'll need.
Reply:it depends on what king of field your are running in.if you are running on a dirt field you might want to use spike so you get better traction.on asphalt tracks you can use normal running shoes though.running shoes are still good for dirt fields but they sometimes slip

I need some good tips on how to use ballet pointe shoes!!?
If you are not studying pointe with your ballet teacher, you should not be doing it at all. You could damage your feet and get seriously injured if you attempt pointe work without proper instruction.





If your teacher has not yet told you that you can go on pointe, ask her what you can do to improve so that you can. Pointe work is extremely hard and requires a good deal of strength and technique to do safely. You do not want to attempt it on your own (as tempting as it is!).
Reply:If you don't know, something tells me your teacher hasn't told you to buy them...in which case, don't wear them, either.
Reply:Um, I kind of don't get your question - but I'll try!


When you use pointe shoes dancing is a lot harder than it is in normal ballet shoes. It can also be painful! So be sure to pad your pointe shoes. (I use an all gel pad, but my friend uses lambs wool.) Be sure not to pad your shoes too much, or else your feet will not develop the calluses needed to go on your toes and dance properly. Pointe shoes can get sweaty, so ALWAYS KEEP THEM IN THE AIR. Don't just shove them in a closed off bag. By a small mesh bag for the best results. I hope this helped, and good luck!

Go with the answer by Blah below.
Reply:Your state probably has rules regarding the max. length of a spike.





I usually went with some 3/4 in. spikes in the toe, and some 1/2 inch ones further back. But if my warmup showed me something that meant i should change them, i did. Just ask your coach or a more experianced runner on your team if you don't know for that race. But have spares because they do break and wear down.

Depends on the surface you are running on and how much you run. If you are not having any problems then the shoe is working for you. If you are worried about cushioning you can get some insoles that will help. Adidas makes good shoes, if you have a shoe that fits and does not harm your foot it sounds good to me.

that is why u go to ur local running store and theyll pick a shoe that fits u for running regularly

What tree in brazil if use to manufacture shoes would transfer a fungus to a humans?

Since the 18th century, shoes are produced out of the rubber of Hevea brasiliensis, with less or -after development of vulcanization ( 1839 – Charles Goodyear ) - more success.


But rubber is waterproof, so humidity cant go out of the shoes, a perfect warm and moisty environment for fungus.





So, the fungus doesn`t come from the tree, humans are anywise contaminated and the fungus grows . Wearing leather-shoes it might be repelled from natural antibodies.





In the first publication you find a notice about a fungus-infection of the rubber tree, but nothing about transfer to humans.

What tree in brazil if use to manufacture shoes would transfer a fungus to a humans?
The rubber tree is called in Brazil "seringueira". It is not a native tree! It was brought here several decades ago. Concerning the fungus, I'll stick to the answer above.

What type of paint should I use to paint shoes? Can I use a spray?

it depends on the material on the shoes. if they are canvas, go with fabric paint (the kind that comes in the little squeezy bottles at craft stores). but if they are leather then spray paint will work a lot better and is less likely to flake off. dont use acrylic or tempera. acrylic will flake off almost immediately when it dries on leather, and on cloth it makes it stiff and inflexible. tempera comes off with water, so thats an obvious no.

What type of paint should I use to paint shoes? Can I use a spray?
Honestly, I would use a Sharpie. But, thats just me. If you have canvas shoes, (one of my teachers told me this... Im not quite sure why...) you can go to a Payless Shoe store, and ask if they can dye your shoes.

Should I use ballet or pointe shoes?

I'm just starting pre-pointe and my school gives you a choose of ballet slippers or pointe shoes. Which do you think is better for me? I'm taking another ballet class with it to so I was thinking pointe shoes, but I'm not sure. Also should I buy toegels to put in my pointe shoes if I get them?

Should I use ballet or pointe shoes?
First, you should make sure your foot is fully developed so you don't mess up your feet. I think you should start with ballet shoes and start doing 50 rises on each foot every day. This will strengthen your ankles and prepare you for pointe.
Reply:Only if you are at least 11 yrs old, weigh 80 lbs and have had a min. of 3 yrs ballet class (not combo classes) should you even consider pointe shoes. I don't recommend shoes of the "pre-pointe" category that have a toe box but no shank because who could resist the temptation to try to get up on them. Foolish mistake if you're legs are not developed yet. You'll never be able to dance properly on pointe if you get an early injury. The answer to gel pads has to come with a proper fitting and only at that time, because there has to be room in the shoe to accomodate that kind of stuffing without lifting your fot too far out of the toe box. Ask as many questions as you can. I think you need to understand the process a little better.
Reply:pointe shoes hurt but if u are good at ballet and have been dancing for a while get pointe shoes for sure its gonna hurt tho
Reply:well...pointe shoes are going to be super stiff. You will have trouble doing things on demi pointe. If it's a pre-pointe class, chances are you won't even be going on pointe yet, just doing strengthening. So, I'd say flats. Either those, or there are actual pre- pointe shoes, which have no shank and are bendable, but have the hard box so that you can get used to having it there while dancing. You can check out Fuzi's pre-pointe shoes on http://www.fuzi.net/products.htm


Otherwise, I say definitely use flats...the studio shouldnt even give you the choice/temptation of getting real pointe shoes and going up on them before you're ready.
Reply:take it from a dancer for 9 years.i would take ballet slippers because pointe shoes really hurt yourfeet and if u go up on ur toes for the first time and fall you can get seriously hurt.u could even break your ankle or foot or toe.trust me pointe shoes hurt!they gave me big bruises on my feet and after dance one day i had a date to go out on and i got these really cool shoes and the uy i went out wit asked me y i had big bruises on my feet.so i told them they were from pointe shoes and he called me dumb for using poite shoes because everybody knos they hurt!so my opinoin is to wear ballet slippers.
Reply:you should talk to the teacher or a foot doctor because everyones feet are different.
Reply:use neither...a true ballerina can dance barefoot
Reply:u should talk to your teacher and see what he or she thinks, u have to make sure that your ankles are strong enough and that your feet have stopped growing if you want to use pointe shoes. If you are taking a seperate technique class, then it would probably be a good idea for you to get pointe shoes as long as you get the best of both worlds u should be fine
Reply:I would use pointe shoes as well so you get use to the feel of them. Pointe shoes are tighter and harder, so you'll have to learn to balance and walk in them even en flat.





You should definitely use some sort of padding even if it's just a paper towel. I use bunheads ouch pouches.





I would also bring your ballet flats to pre pointe as well just in case it gets too uncomfortable. Usually going up on full pointe is reserved for the last 10 minutes of class.
Reply:Ballet slippers are safer, and at first I would only use lamb's wool when you're on pointe.
Reply:Unless your teacher has told you that you are ready for pointe shoes, then you should be using technique (flat) shoes. There is no advantage to starting pointe before you are ready, and in fact, you can permanently injure yourself if you start too early.





You can use gel pads if you need them. You can use whatever you need to if you need it, unless your school has a rule against it. I know plenty of people who use everything from make-up wedges to corn pads to gel heel inserts (yes, in the toe box) to padded tape to ouch pouches to masking tape to simple gel pads. The structure of your foot and the fit of your shoes will determine what you need - I can't tell you, and neither can anyone else here on the computer.
Reply:If you are just starting out, you shouldn't push yourself too hard too fast. This could lead to injury. Your pointe instructor will know best. I do not know your level, or ankle stregnth, therefore it will be very hard for any of us to give you good information.





Toe gels are the best invention ever, in my opinion! I would definatly suggest buying some! But, each dancer will find exactly what she likes to use best.
Reply:What is wrong with everyone!?!?!


I don't know where you go to school at, but there should not be a choice! If you are only taking one ballet class a week you should not have a pair of point shoes! If you really want to be a dancer when you grow up, you need to find a better school....


I am a soloist with Boston Ballet and was dancing at San Francisco Ballet for 4 years before that. I have been a ballet dancer since I was three. I have been a professional for 8 years.


PLEASE do not listen to any of these answers.....there are some of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard! You could really hurt yourself if your teachers are not good..... Which sounds like they are not....


I don't know if you have ever heard the saying "Those who can't do, teach." Make sure you know what your getting yourself into....This is a hard career choice and you have to be committed beyond 100%......
Reply:i would use pointe shoes but if you arent comfy then you can change into ballet slippers. that is what i did you have to get used to the pointe shoes
Reply:If you are just starting dance then why the heck are you thinking of getting pointe shoes!! You could really hurt your feet!!! And obvioslyyour dance teacher hasnt talked to you about them much because they would never recommend gels!!! They would most likely recomend ouch pouchesor the lambswool!! THey may hurt but they are definatly better for your feet than gels!!! That is the worst thing possible they may feel good but youcantfeel the floor and because you cant feel the floor you could stepon your toes wrong and hurt your ankle!! First you need to wait a couple of years before you even think of getting pointe shoes!!! then when you think your ready you should ask you teacher to test your feet before you get them!!! Take it from me I have been dancing over 11 years!! If you dont wait you could seriously damageyour feet!! And you dont want that!! Plz Believe me!! Its true!!! Oh yea also if you start to early you will only be on them for like a year and after that absolutly hate them!!

No way man. Those are running shoes with little ankle support. If you land on someone's foot wrong, you could easily break your ankles. If you also wore some really good ankle braces, then maybe those would be alright. Remember: You're trying to break their ankles, not yours.

Should I use my tennis shoes for running?

Should I use my tennis shoes for running?
If they're comfortable, go ahead.





A lot depends on the surface you run on. Try to run on trails or grass, or failing that a rubber track. Concrete is the worst (harder than asphalt, for example).





Pay very careful attention to any symptoms you develop. Don't run through pain.
Reply:no, it doesnt have enough cushion for running
Reply:No absolutly not.


A tennis shoe is not a running shoe if you're going to take up running you should invest in a good pair of running shoes.


Running shoes provide the best protection for your feet, legs and body from the repeated stress of thousands of foot landings per mile. Each time you take a stride and land, your foot has to absorb two to three times your body weight. This repeated impact is different from other sports. Running shoes have built-in features that enable you to run day after day more comfortably and with less chance of over-use injury. Preferably bought in a shop that can guide you in buying the correct shoe for you. Depending on your running patern and your feet there are different kind of running shoes.
Reply:no thats bad for your feet use running shoes
Reply:Well tennis shoes are ok.. but they can somewhat mess up your shins depending on what surface you run on.


Your best bet is to get a inexpensive running shoe that good for jogging and running during free time.


If your going to be in races I would also get spikes.. because they are light weigh and help you grip the surface better.
Reply:you could but you should really go buy yourself a good pair of running shoes,,,you will be much better off with them,..they make them specific for running.....and they don't really cost much and lots of great styles to choose from ,.....
Reply:If your running consists of many miles a day of hard running maybe not depending on how well they are built. But if you are a casual runner/jogger I think it will be fine. Even though there are shoes designed for every conceivable activity I find basketball and tennis shoes offer the most comfort.

Could I use my basketball shoes for tennis?

they are suppose to support your ankles and you need that for tennis too, so...

Could I use my basketball shoes for tennis?
NO. REGULAR SNEAKERS ARE FINE. DONT YOU DARE USE BASKETBALL SHOES ON TENNIS COURTS!!!! I WILL BE SO MAD IF YOU DO!!!!!!





I've been playing tennis for 6 years. Basketball shoes are bad. You're not supposed to drag your toe. I was ranked No.1 for 5 months people! I think I know which shoes to use.





tenniswarehouse.com is good to buy tennis shoes and other equipment, however, if you don't want to use so much money just buy regular sneakers. You're supposed to build support in your ankles by yourself in tennis. Its called FOOTWORK.
Reply:ive been playing basketball my whole life, and when i play tennis i use basketball sneakers, but i do hear from people basketball sneakers are heavier...i dont feel the difference though
Reply:I wouldn't do that If I were you
Reply:No, especially NOT on clay courts. You will get kicked off for damaging them. Also any shoe not designed for the surface you will be playing on leaves you open to injury. One of my players used cross-trainers on our clay courts and before I noticed them she jammed her foot, ended up in the ER and was casted for 6 week with a fracture!!! Be smart, wear the right shoe!!
Reply:if you have no other choice i'd say so, but i think basketball shoes are too heavy for tennis and they are made for floors, not outdoor courts. but if you dont feel like buying a new pair, you'll be fine!
Reply:I wouldnt. Basketball shoes usually have a high ankle so I would buy tennis shoes instead.
Reply:Hi , Your shoes do not know you are playing tennis . Go ahead and enjoy your self at tennis.
Reply:Use tennis shoes because basketball shoes are too heavy for tennis.
Reply:If u feel comfortable, u can..


But it may be dangerous tho.. coz it's not designed for tennis..
Reply:Yes you could use Basketball shoes or running shoes ,but i would not recomend it. Every type of shoes are made for that particular sport. I play tennis, run and like to take long walks. I have different sport shoes for all of the 3.


Basketball shoes are heavy, rubbery and pounces you. Tennis shoes are made to support your ankle more because you don't want to injur yourself.


Enjoy the game no matter what you wear !
Reply:well, if you can run with them sure.....the problem with basketball shoes is that they're heavier. of course they run during a basketball game too but you really need the speed in tennis....balls fly faster compared to just a pass in basketball.
Reply:yes
Reply:Yes you can. I use basketball shoes for my tennis because I drag my toe. The basketball shoes have extra rubber on them....And they don't mark the court up!!!
Reply:Yeah I would just use your basketball shoes. At tennis courts they require you to have clean sneakers, not street shoes, thats the only thing.Unless you are getting really serious with tennis then at this point just wear basketball sneakers.
Reply:Basketball shoes are great for tennis cuz if u drag ur feet on the court, then it will tear through the bad shoes but basket ball shoes have a lot of rubber so it will be hard to tear through em.

Should I use my tennis shoes for running?

Should I use my tennis shoes for running?
I don't have much experience with tennis shoes but from looking at a photo i can tell they are loosely relative to basketball shoes. My point is, they are excellent for smoothe surfaces but running shoes are great for unbalanced surfaces. I guess if you were jogging on a sidewalk then it wouldn't matter but it's best to use running shoes when you're out on grass/dirt rodes etc. Hope this helps and goodluck :)
Reply:No! Please, no! I used to work in an athletics store, court-based shoes (basketball, squash, tennis etc) are too inflexible, and are made for protecting ankles and feet from sideways movements - they're terrible for running! And 'cross-trainers' are a joke too! Runners or nothing (seriously, running barefoot on grass every now and then is a good idea).
Reply:You should use you're running shoes.


If you're serious abouth running I would even recomend going to a running shop with you're old running shoes and see if they are realy the right shoes for you.


Depending on you feet, bodyweight and running patern they will propose differen types of shoes.


It is realy important to have decent running shoes as the wrong shoe could lead to serious injuries.

Are platform shoes really so dangerous for driving?

Some time ago, a driver got killed because her platform shoes prevented her from braking in time.





But why exactly couldn't she brake?


Is it really because of the sole thickness or more likely because of the driver herself (maybe she was not used to wearing such shoes)?

Are platform shoes really so dangerous for driving?
Small floorspace, pedal's grouped together, shoe gets wedged easily.
Reply:do people still were those anyway?


well anyway, thich soled shoes arent really great for driving. flat sole shoes are better, so u can apply more pressure on the brakes. even if you are wearing platform shoes , you can take them off while driving
Reply:no, but just be EXTRA careful
Reply:I would assume that it would be very difficult to drive with platforms on.It is bad enough walking in them
Reply:I would say it's just as you said that the driver herself wasn't used to wearing such shoes. Otherwise I do not see how it could be that big of a deal. Any type of shoe could possibly get in the way of braking I suppose. I would think that high heel shoes would be more of a trouble maker than platform ones. Interesting question~
Reply:Both factors probably played their part. Do what I do, drive with one pair of shoes, put another pair on before I get to work.
Reply:platform shoes are just hidious to begin with no one should wear them the spice girls couldnt even pull it off come on now
Reply:bad for your health and dangerous
Reply:Any big item like that down around your feet is not good when you're driving. Two things may have happened:





- the shoe became loose or twisted, and she couldn't maneuver her foot to the brake quickly


- the shoe came completely off and got behind the pedal, preventing her from pressing it.





IMPORTANT: A key thing to know is that even at moderate speed, a split second is a very long time. If you brake a split second before, you could just barely miss something. If you brake a split second later, you could plow into it with much more force. So, even if her shoes created just a very small problem for her getting to the brake, those split seconds may have made the difference between a near-miss and a terrible accident, and may have cost her her life.
Reply:I'm thinking the soles were so thick and when she went to take her foot from the gas to the brake she didn't lift her foot high enough and it only hit the side of the brake instead of going on it. I used to wear platforms all the time, and I must say there were the most comfortable shoes to wear and dance it. My feet never hurt. I cannot see how they would be bad for your health. They offer a lot of support for your foot. You can twist your ankle though if the shoes don't fit properly. They are better than those tiny spike heels women used to wear all the time. Way too much stress was put on the ligaments of the foot and ankles with those things.





Clogs are another issue. I was teaching a friend to drive and she wore clogs. She actualy slipped out of them and we went banging into a pole with a reflector on it. Thank God it was in a college parking lot and not out in traffic. I made her wear regular shoes after that.
Reply:You are correct on both points. Even though the wearer may be used to wearing the shoes, their feet may wobble on the peddles and the driver may loose control.





Better to have a spare pair of shoes to change into when driving.
Reply:I've never had a problem driving in any kinds of shoes. Maybe her platform got stuck under her seat or something....but normally when we drive, our feet stay close to the pedals. Maybe she was just stupid.
Reply:I think both. There is a thin line between have a "chunky" heel and having one that will restrict your leg movement.
Reply:It just makes sens that the more crap you put between your foot and the brake, the more opportunity there is for a slip up, or for something to get caught, etc. It's not a death sentence, just common sense.
Reply:A little of both....but what I do is just take the shoe off when I drive *shrug* that way i can be fashionable and safe

Is there a better way of adding and subtracting instead of having to take off my shoes and using my toes?

Please tell me you don't ever have to do any addition and subtraction with 21 because I don't want to know what else you'd take off.

Is there a better way of adding and subtracting instead of having to take off my shoes and using my toes?
break the question down to smaller parts for instance if you have 96 - 12 =? take the 96 and just make it 9 set the 6 aside and do the same for 12 make it 1 and set the 2 aside so then you have 9 minus 1 which is 8 right? then take the 6 minus 2 which becomes 4 now set the numbers back together and you get the answer 84
Reply:Take some scratch paper and write it out, on your computer there is a calculator in the Start Menu, buy a calculator at the store, calulators are also on cell phones, or practice and learn to count in your head like example: think 5 plus 4 = 5,6,7,8,9. its 9. hope this helps and good luck!
Reply:You're silly. Please don't use a calculator just for addition and subtraction. Too many kids now days cannot count out change at the store (if they work there) w/out the register telling them exactly how much it is. It's SAD!!

Should I use my tennis shoes for running?

well, should i? why? =) thanks in advance!

Should I use my tennis shoes for running?
I have been running for 8 years now. Though I am biased towards Nike as a brand, I would recommend you to go to a running-specific store, like Fleet Feet in Carrboro, NC. They can help you find the right shoe because people buy shoes that aren't necessarily right for their feet, but more comfortable or fashionable. But after you get the correct shoes or even if you haven't, I would go to any major athletics store and ask the sales associates because they are getting paid to know the products they are selling. Good luck!!!

Can I use cross-country shoes for sprinting?

You probably can, but it's definitely not good too. Cross county shoes are made for dirt and rocks, to protect your feet and reduce twisting your ankles. Spring shoes are more aerodynamic. They feel weightless, and help you run faster. I wouldn't suggest using cross country shoes for sprinting.

Best Spraypaint to use for Ballet Shoes.?

Use shoe dye. It goes on like shoe polish (not as thick) and comes in a variety of colors. That's what I used on slippers and on pointe shoes.

Best Spraypaint to use for Ballet Shoes.?
don't spray paint them, use make up. this way when you're done with whatever show you need them colored for, you don't have to buy new ones cuz it comes right off. my friend has to cover hers in foundation so that they'll be tan for her recital in a few weeks. if you want them colored just for fun then i'd suggest dying them.
Reply:dont use spraypaint!!


get old powder base makeup and a sponge and sponge the make up on.. and you need a little water if its a power base...





you can use blush for pink red


and tan for brown and tann
Reply:i never knew that they spay painted them when they were red or black, i thought they bought them that way, i have no idea whats best, go ask a teacher or someone who sell pointe shoes. good luck i want to go en pointe soon! and do co. dance

Yuck. Put out roach bait. Killing them one by one won't get rid of them. Use it once a month as directed for about 3 or 4 months.

Can I Use my Track shoes for cross country?

I have Brooks Nerve LD spikes that are in reat shape and i really like them. Would they work well in cross country, too?

Can I Use my Track shoes for cross country?
yeah go for it. they'll work
Reply:I'd say to just go for it.


I've always used my track spikes for cross. Just be sure to put the longer spikes in for cross.


It doesn't matter too incredibly much what shoes you wear to race in- it's way more important what you work out in.
Reply:your spikes should be fine for XC but just check to make sure the course you're running on is suitable for spike. i personally would run in flats or regular waffles but spikes are fine in certain cases.
Reply:its hard to tell with out looking at them... if the bottom is foam i would say no but they should be fine...

I am looking for a "lock" so that I won't have to tie and untie my running shoes, and use my present laces.

Go to a shoemaker and have him replace the ties with a zipper. Sorry to hear that it is so much of a chore to tie and untie your running shoes. Basically they are made to be used with laces, to be adjusted to a comfortable fit.

What paint should I use to paint my vans-style shoes?

I've recently bought some white vans-style shoes and I'm wanting to hand paint them. What would be the best paint to use for this (obviously it would have to be waterproof)?

What paint should I use to paint my vans-style shoes?
yeah acrylic would just peel off.. ive painted on stuff like shirts before and i'd say your best bet would be fabric paint.


you can also get these crayons that are for fabric.. they look like crayons but go on like paint they're really good too.
Reply:well acrylic is water proof but it would probably peel off.


try looking at fabric paint. i used to use them all the time. they seem to stick and i assume theyre waterproof.

What are the most comfortable type of shoes? for everyday use.?
i have to agree with you on the skate shoes!! ive been wearing DC's for years and I just bought a pair of DVS which I have to say are really really comfortable. I love skate shoes, since, 1st of all, I skate, and 2nd of all, they have so much padding which makes me feel like Ive got pillows around my feet!!





Skate shoes aside... I would have to say flip-flops are my 2nd favorite type of shoe and then 3rd favorite would be dansko clogs!!

Does anyone know Latin dance shoes that are narrow?

I have very narrow feet. I used to buy my shoes from International (model "Melissa") but now they changed this model to be less narrow. They have a special order option for narrow, but when they make it they are actually almost the same as regular. Does anyone know good respectable Ladies Latin shoe that runs narrow? If yes - please specify brand and model, if you can, or just describe it. Serious answers only, please.

Does anyone know Latin dance shoes that are narrow?
Tricky one. I have narrow feet as well. Ray Rose is generally narrower than usual, especially the Blizzard: http://www.rayrose.com/.


Supadance 1066 is a very nice shoe and it's narrower as well. http://www.supadance.com/


Eckse (though I haven't tried it) makes narrow shoes as well. A friend of mine was a Melissa XXN girl, but she's very happy with Eckse as well.

Reply:Very Fine is where I get my dance shoes. I'm not sure if they cary 'narrow' shoes, but it might be worth checking out. www.veryfineshoes.com
Reply:Step One Dance Shoes is a great place to get shoes in any shape and size. They come in narrow, wide...no extra-narrow. I'll give you the website, let you look around.Find the 'custom ladies shoes--narrow width". The average price is about $95 dollars, which is actually a really good price. Good luck in finding your shoes! I have 3 pairs from there in narrow width.
Reply:Capezio. They might have a web site. Even better yet, go to ask.com and put in "looking for capezio dancing shoes". I have an original pair of capezio's and I paid about 7 years ago $150.00, but their prices vary. If you live in NY they have a store on 42nd St. and Broadway. Their shoes run narrow. Good Luck!

Is the store Parade of Shoes no longer around?

I used to love their shoes, they were good quality, fashionable and economical! I don't like spending lots of money on my shoes because they get wrecked from walking in the city. Does anyone know if these stores are gone?? I can't even find a website...

Is the store Parade of Shoes no longer around?
I just went to their website and it isn't working. I believe they did go out of business. I am a retail manager and saw them in the malls in the NY area and it seemed they were all leaving the malls.
Reply:I used to work at Parade of Shoes and I can assure you all that they are out of business. What happened was, they were a branch of Payless Shoe Stores, but business wasn't very good so the company decided to get rid of Parade and concentrate on Payless. Report It

Reply:One of my friends was a manager at one of the locations and according to her they were going out of business.
Reply:I guess so; the parade of shoes in NYC were replaced by payless shoes

Opinion on Kenneth Cole shoes for men?

Does anyone have an opinion on his shoes? I like the style of many of them, but what about the quality? I recently purchased a pair of Steve Madden's and they have not held up well at all. I used to buy Bass shoes a lot and think their quality is great, but the styling just isnt there.

Opinion on Kenneth Cole shoes for men?
Kenneth Cole are great quality shoes!!! With so many styles to choose from. I also love born and doc martens. I've had my doc martens for almost 5 years and they're still in awesome condition! Born is a high quality leather that lasts forever!
Reply:I work with alot of men 25-35 years and the majority wear Kenneth Cole, Diesel or Gucci shoes.
Reply:Bass is lovely, I've heard my friends say Kenneth Cole is good too and durable ... but we live in the tropics so I dunno how they'll hold up in the snow and stuff. But he's definitely got it when it comes to style.

Could i use nike running shoes as indoor shoe for soccer?

you could but you shouldn't


every shoe is designed differently





running shoes whether they are jogging shoes or track spikes are made to take the beating of thousands of steps and/or for very short fast bursts of speed





soccer cleats are made to create traction to not slip during kicks and to make powerful, accurate kicks





also you might run the risk of the running shoe's sole falling off if you kick too hard during a soccer game (and that wont be good)





if i were you i would get a good pair of soccer cleats and put away the running shoes just for running


your aim, kicks, and overall play will prove to be better





hope this helps!!

Buying relatively comfortable work shoes?

I have small (size 4 adult), narrow flat feet. I HATE wearing high heels, although I'm trying to work my way into becoming comfortable with them by buying shoes with a thicker heel and then gradually going narrower and higher.





Suggestions for brands? I used to wear Aldo shoes, but the blisters and squeezing of my toes (not to mention subconscious fear that the heel would break or something and I'd hurt myself...) was terrible.





I've seen Zappos.com but I'm not sure how to work the sizing options.

Buying relatively comfortable work shoes?
naturalizer shoes are VERY comfortable. it`s like you can run miles in them, and they`re not that ugly. (www.naturalizer.com)
Reply:honestly, find a good neutral shoe which may be considered a flat that you could stand in all day. Style rarely equals comfort.....standing on a stick can't be comfortable or even good for your back!
Reply:flats, brands are candies and practically any brand

When using platform pedals can do u use the biking shoes without the pedals or regular running shoes?

dont feel comfortable climbing steep hills with them

When using platform pedals can do u use the biking shoes without the pedals or regular running shoes?
With platform pedals, you can use just about any shoe you want. In the past I've bought "cycling shoes" that weren't much different from an ordinary athletic shoe. The only cycling specific feature, other than the brand name, might have been a tread pattern that marginally helped flipping a platform pedal over to get the toe clip up into the air. I have had very good luck with a fairly stiff soled New Balance athletic shoe.





Some cycling specific shoes designed for clipless pedals have soles that are fairly reasonable for walking in terms of flex and traction. You just have to shop around.
