ALL dance shoes? Even Pointe shoes an those shoes they use for Irish step dancing?? My Doc just told me that I have low arches and I'll be tearing my body up if I don't wear arch supports. Will having low arches and wearing arch supports hinder my dancing?? Will i be able to without tearing myself up?? Are there ways that dancers can "fix" low arches?? I hear them talk about arches from time to time, but I wasn't even thinking about my arches then so i didn't listen.
Help? Advice? I'm going to ask my doctor about it next time i see him (which is soon), but i was wondering what the dancers do in a situation like that. :)
Can you put arch supports inside dance shoes?
You have the arch in your foot that you are born with, and dancing will only make that arch stronger, which should be a good thing. A low arch, is different from an inflexible arch. It could mean that your feet are "too flexible." You can wear your arch supports in tap, and character shoes, but not in soft shoes. You should see a physical therapist who deals with athletes, and learn how to "wrap" your arch properly, with athletic tape, to support your arches. If you try this yourself, you will probably just cut off the circulation in your feet. You MUST use FLEXIBLE athletic tape, which is usually flesh colored, as opposed to the white tape used to wrap ankles, etc.
As for pointe shoes just choose one with a very strong shank. You may be able to order a double shank shoe. You should ask your ballet teacher for advice on pointe shoes.
Reply:I don't think it would hinder you.
But if you're uneasy about it, you might be able to glue the arc so that it won't move too much.
Hope it helps.
Reply:Not in the pointe shoe - I used to tie the ribbon around the arch and then around the ankle. You can however use them in all the other shoes - even soft ballet shoes.
I never glued them - I used the same arch supports for all of my shoes. Make sure that outside of dance you are using good arch supporting shoes. Don't wear alot of dress shoes or other shoes that don't have an arch support. I know that it is stylish to wear boots and clogs etc. but you will have to put those away for a while.
I had the same problem it wasn't the most comfortable thing at first but after time you get used to it.
Reply:You can put arch supports into Irish step shoes, tap shoes, and jazz sneakers by gluing them on the inside. Ballet slippers, pointe shoes, and jazz slippers you can't; it would hinder your ability to point your feet. One way to fix low arches is to wear strong podiatric arch supports (NOT gel ones). You will also have to wear tennis shoes more often instead of ballet flats and boots (I know it's hard) to strengthen your arches.
Reply:In almost all types of dance, you have to point your feet. Arch supports won't let you do that, so I wouldn't recommend putting them in your dance shoes, ESPECIALLY ballet shoes (flat and pointe). Low arches aren't ideal for dance, and you can't hope to go far in the ballet world with them, but you can still go far in some other types of dance. You can't fix low arches because of the fact that you can't change your bone structure. However, you can make them a little better by stretching your feet and using a Theraband to strengthen them. The majority of the population has low arches, and their bodies don't get 'torn up' so I'm sure you'll survive.
Reply:You could easily put the arch supports into the Heavy Jig shoes. It could probably be done with the ghillies, too. Just superglue them in.
I don't know how to fix a low arch. That's something you are born with - you'll just have to work around it.

I want to decorate a pair of white canvas shoes. What should I use to design them so it will not wear off?
I recently bought pastels made for fabric. I have used this on a t-shirt, and it stayed however it was hard to draw clearly. Would Sharpie's be a good idea and would the ink stay on the shoe?
I want to decorate a pair of white canvas shoes. What should I use to design them so it will not wear off?
Draw the design on with a pencil. Then, get fabric paint like puff paint, in tubes to draw over the pencil lines. Then use acrylic paint to fill in those areas after the outlines dry. You can use fabric glue or fabric paint to fix bling things to your shoes, also.

I presently have Knee pain, Will it cause me consequences later if I continue wearing Heel shoes?
I didn't had knee pain for a while. I wonder if using heel shoe all day -8hrs. is causing it again. Will it cause me consequences later as i get older?
I presently have Knee pain, Will it cause me consequences later if I continue wearing Heel shoes?
knee pain has many causes.it could be rheumatism,overweight,high level of uric acid,age.
wearing shoes with 2in.heel and above especially if you are standing most of the time could affect your knee.
i usually wear shoes with 1 to 1 1/2 in.heel and it helps,but still if i stand too long and walked for some distance,my knees also hurt.so,i learned not to overdo it.
Reply:It is known that wearing heels is not good for your knees but I'm not sure exactly what the long term effects are. If it is already hurting that can't be good. On your days off wear sneakers and try to only wear heels a couple days per week, flats look nice too and sandal season will be in soon so you can give them a try too. If the pain doesn't go away it is best to see your doctor to get checked out and see what's going on down there.
Reply:Quite probably. I presume you mean high-heeled shoes. Combine these with shoes that have any tendency to pointiness and you are highly likely to get painful bunions too. The high heel forces your foot towards the toe of the shoe and the taper causes your toes to turn inward.
Change to flattish shoes with a wider fitting for more comfort. In fact always buy shoes for comfort first, and fashion second, especially if you want to avoid foot, hip, knee and posture problems in old-age (or even earlier).
BTW - this applies to MEN as well
Reply:if you wear heels alot not only are you doing damage to your knees but you are also doing damage to your lumbar spine... heels may look good on but they are not worth the future consequences...
Reply:it depends on what is the cause for the knee pain. it could be the high heels or the height of the heel. do u have flat feet? is it just your knee or do u get shin pain also? if so then it might be because you have flat feet. or you may just need to stretch out your hamstrings and shin muscles
Reply:It might. If I were u, I would't wear them as much!!!
Reply:Probably. I cannot wear high heels. I did when I was younger! But now I have flat feet and knee and ankle problems. So I try to get the lower heels maybe anything less than 2 inches would help.
Reply:I wear heels every day at least eight hours a day. You may want to talk to a podiatrist though. Mine told me that flip flops are the best kind of shoes to wear. So if I'm not at work, flip flops it is!

4-year-old insists on wearing shoes at all times?
My son insist on having his shoes on all the time. If I take them off he cries until I put them back on. He even wants to sleep in them though I got him to wear slippers at night instead of real shoes. I use to have to take off white he was sleeping before because I could not stand the thought of his wearing them 24 hours a day. During the day he will not wear the slippers, but wants his tennis shoes or lace up boots on.
4-year-old insists on wearing shoes at all times?
I think it's cute. No big deal, just him demonstrating his unique personality. I think you are handling it with creativity ie: the slippers at night. Take a picture, someday it will make him and you both laugh.
Reply:Let him wear them. He'll get tired of it eventually, and it's not hurting him.
Reply:It's nothing to worry about. Many children go through these phases and eventually he will grow out of it. In the meantime, it's not going to hurt anything to let him wear the shoes. The bigger deal you make of it...the longer the phase will last.
Reply:has this been going on for a long time? most kids do go through phases like that - i had this red denim mini skirt that i refused to take off for a good 3 months! he'll outgrow it.
Reply:Let him wear em 24 hours a day...Kids go through really wierd phases sometimes. For the past week my son has insisted on wearing long sleeved shirts. It is the middle of summer and he plays outside all day. Screw it..LoL, I make sure he isn't too hot and I'm giving him plenty of refills on his ice water so he is fine.
Reply:It is just a phase, probably a security thing to him. Don't panic, he will get over it.

What type of leather shoes for mcdonalds?
Hi
I've recently been employed by mcdonalds and haven't been to orientation yet. Just like to know what type of leather shoes would they be expecting?
Would the leather shoes I wear to go to high school (in Australia) be fine or do I need those leather shoes we use in school formals etc?
Thanks.
What type of leather shoes for mcdonalds?
No, the shoes that you wear to school will not work. the floors at the store are very slippery once they get wet or oil gets spilled. Go to a walmart and go to the shoe section, they carry non skid black shoes that are made for the food industry,they only cost about 25 dollars and they will save you the hassle from slipping and sliding everywhere
Reply:you need a very comfortable shoe with a non-slip sole.
if you don't have a store locally in Australia try this site:
http://www.shoesforcrews.com they have numerous styles and price ranges and the shoes are made for the food service industry.
if you use shoes for crews click on the "US location" link to get information about shipping to Australia.
Reply:What you need is a shoe with NON -SKID SOLES .
Fast food restaurants use a tile and cleaners that leave these floors very slick ..compounded with daily food spills of grease , salad dressings etc., these can be treacherous. Always use caution ..blot up greasy spills THEN mop up spills immediately ( don't just mop the spill as it will spread the grease around ... don't run in the kichen or fool around .
Reply:Like most restaurants, McDonalds should have a catalog of work shoes you can order from to get non slip shoes. It is very important that you obtain some no slip type of rubber sole shoes. Most places have tile floors that get slick as ice when wet.
Reply:Make sure they dont have a heel
Theyre usually quite lenaint on shoes.
Make sure theyre black and leather and youlll be fine
