My boyfriend dresses terribly and I am not attracted anymore?

epsilon_th

I have been dating a wonderful man for almost 2 years. I love everything about him but something is getting in the way. I am 36 and still cute ,he is 42 and in great shape. I hate the way he dresses most of the time. He is stuck in the 80's, He wears Bill Cosby sweaters and stonewashed jeans.Even owns a leather Bugs Bunny jacket!! It makes me want to run and hide. It is embarassing. He has other clothes from Express and even Target that are contemporary and what people wear today. I don't know what to do. It is a hard thing to bring up because do not want to be mean to him, but he never gets my hint. Even when we go shopping together or I suggest cleaning closets. I want to be with him, but this is seriously effecting how attracted to him I am. I sometimes find myself in "friend mode". Please share.. and no offense, but no kids please. I am being serious about this. I would like to hear from those in adult aged relationships. I don't want to break up, but this is driving me away.
Thanks for the answers, there are many that have caused me to think. It is a good relationship...but not too much to ask for him to be a little current. As for him expressing personal style- he has no concept of that. He is functional. He is a guy: he needs to wear pants and a shirt, so he wears pants and a shirt. That's all there is to it. No other thought. I know I sounded snobbish and materialistic, but it is not like that. I have been given a lot to think about and I appreciate all the honest answers. Thanks, everyone. I will take it all to heart, really. It helps to hear from real people on this. Happy Thanksgiving.

Answer
I am 39, my wife is 30. She is young and cute (actress/model) I am older and average. Sounds similar. The hardest thing for me when it came to fashion was listening to her. I, too, was stuck in the 80's (not quite as bad, but still there) when it came to jeans, tshirts, and shoes. She wore me down but did let me know she loved me. She pointed out that most women know what looks good and that fashion changes (where I was not changing). The newer fashions were harder to accept for me (too macho I guess). however, she would point out things she liked and start changing my wardrobe one outfit at a time. Mostly though, she would point out how fashion changes. Just because you love him does not mean you should not rag on his rags. It is not a personal attack, just advice and preferances. He should not take it personally. let him know what you think about how he dresses ... if he does not relent, he has issues. Most men stick with what is comfortable to them, you have to make him comfortable with something new. I have gotten to the point that I can dress myself (LOL!) but I still run things by the wife from haircuts, to clothing combinations.
Get a few GQ and contenmporary magazines and start showing him how fashion is changing. I had a hard time getting into the loose clothing and untucked shirts and such, but now that I am comfortable with change, I have no issues with it.
The big thing is getting him comfortable with change ... it's likely not about his clothing but going with what is comfortable and "safe" for him. Haveing to think about fashion is threatening to many men.
Force him into an outfit you like ... then REALLY let him know you like it ... much like pavlovs dogs, he will come around through conditioning. thats my two cents :)

Answer
Wade has established an impressive list of accomplishments including the following:[11]

* NBA Champion: 2006
* NBA Finals MVP: 2006
* 3-time NBA All-Star: 2005, 2006, 2007
* 3-time All-NBA:

* Second Team: 2005, 2006

* Bronze medal winner with team USA basketball at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece.
* Bronze medal winner with team USA basketball at the 2006 FIBA World Championships.
* 2006 Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year.

Wade is a devout Christian and chose the number 3 because it represents the Holy Trinity.[49] He tithes 10% of his salary to a church in Chicago.[4] Wade is married to his high school sweetheart Siohvaughn Funches, who was his first and only serious girlfriend. They currently reside in Pinecrest, Florida, and have two sons: Zaire Blessing Dwyane Wade (February 4, 2002) and Zion Malachi Airamis Wade (May 29, 2007).[2][50] The pair were able to maintain their relationship, despite Funches, who is a year older than Wade, leaving to enroll at Eastern Illinois University during Wade's senior year of high school.[2] In February 2002, the couple were married, and at the beginning of Wade's final year of college (Fall 2002), Funches transferred to Marquette.[2]

The Heat's 2005 NBA Playoff run and Wade's performances with Shaquille O'Neal hampered by injury, led to an explosion of media attention and rapid increase in Wade's popularity. During those playoffs, Wade's jersey became the top selling jersey in the league and remained so for nearly two years; he is currently number 2 in sales behind Kobe Bryant.[51] After the Heat's success and Wade's memorable performances during the 2006 NBA Playoffs, Wade was further elevated into the public's eye and has appeared on several talk shows, including Late Show with David Letterman and Live with Regis and Kelly.[52]

Wade has been featured in a number of magazine articles and publications. In 2005, he was featured on People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People,[53] and in 2006 he was named the NBA's best dressed player by GQ Magazine.[54] In 2007, Esquire named him to their 4th annual Best Dressed Men in the World list for the second straight year.[55]

Wade has proven himself a popular endorser and has a number of endorsement deals with companies such as Gatorade, Sean John, T-Mobile, and Topps.[56] He has his own line of shoes with Converse named "The Wade" and T-Mobile released a series of Sidekick phones known as the D-Wade Edition.[57][58] His nicknames include D-Wade and Flash, which was given to him by Shaquille O'Neal who would sing, "He's the greatest in the Universe," in reference to the Queen song of the same name from the 1980 film Flash Gordon.

marriage question?

Q. I am married to a great woman and she has a great personality, we have been together for a long time but in recent months she has gained too much weight and now looks like a diabetic walrus that got kicked in the face by a drunken midget wearing platform shoes, she is hideous and if you try to take her food away she will foam at the mouth and throw a frying pan at you!!

What do I do?!

Answer
Sounds like she's married to an ass. I would be super nice and hope she doesn't dump you.

BTW calling her a diabetic walrus won't help the relationship. Maybe ask her to take romantic walks etc. Although if I was her, I would run.

How do I get rid of calluses?

Akara

I walked in some flat shoes and they made a big callus on the bottoms of both of my feet. Now my feet hurt and I can't walk right. Is there anything I can do to help them heal and hurt less?

Answer
Calluses are type of Corns. A Calluses or corn is a small, painful, raised bump on the outer skin layer. A callus is a rough, thickened patch of skin. It is very unusual you get it in hands. However the treatement for this is just like the Calluses or corn of toes only.

Treatment
Corns and calluses do not usually require medical attention unless the person who has them has diabetes mellitus, poor circulation, or other problems that make self-care difficult.

Treatment should begin as soon as an abnormality appears. The first step is to identify and eliminate the source of pressure. Placing moleskin pads over corns can relieve pressure, and large wads of cotton, lamb's wool, or moleskin can cushion calluses.

Using hydrocortisone creams or soaking feet in a solution of Epsom salts and very warm water for at least five minutes a day before rubbing the area with a pumice stone will remove part or all of some calluses. Rubbing corns just makes them hurt more.

Applying petroleum jelly or lanolin-enriched hand lotion helps keep skin soft, but corn-removing ointments that contain acid can damage healthy skin. They should never be used by pregnant women or by people who are diabetic or who have poor circulation.

It is important to see a doctor if the skin of a corn or callus is cut, because it may become infected. If a corn discharges pus or clear fluid, it is infected. A family physician, podiatrist, or orthopedist may:

-remove (debride) affected layers of skin
-prescribe oral antibiotics to eliminate infection
-drain pus from infected corns
-inject cortisone into the affected area to decrease pain or inflammation -

Hyperdunk 2011 vs Hyperfuse 2011?

Kevin

I need to get some new basketball sneakers and would like to know which basketball shoe would be the best for me. I'm a small guard/small forward who is more athletic than big and I would like to know which one is more comfortable. I'm flat footed so arch support is big for me. Don't say one is better than the other because it's lighter too because my hyperdunks last year were great, but the paint scratched off easily. Maybe contribute some personal experience?

Answer
My hyperdunk paint scratched off very easily as well. Also, many guys on my team had problems with the hyperdunks (our team sneaker). Many wound up switching to other brands because of discomfort and bad looks (paint chipping).
I would recommend against the hyperdunks. They have innate problems with the shoe design, and many of us hated them.
I never wore the hyperfuses though, no help there. But I recommend them over the bad experiences Ive had with hyperdunks.

how do you cure heel spurs without surgery?

Q. i dont want to have surgery because of a heel spur. is their any way of cures without surgery

Answer
Plantar fasciitis (heel spurs) is an excruciatingly painful foot condition caused by the inflammation of the plantar fascia, a broad ligament-like structure that runs along the sole (plantar) of the foot between the toes and the heel bone.

Most people who have plantar fasciitis know they have it and know what it is.

Some doctors compare the pain of heel spurs to the feeling of walking with a pebble in your shoe, just beneath the heel. Ha! Those doctors have never had plantar fasciitis. Those who have will tell you that the pain is far, far worse than that innocuous little analogy suggests. It is so bad, in fact, that it drives many people to submit to horrendously painful corticosteroid shots in their heels, in hope of reducing the pain.

I had a cortisone shot in my right heel the second time I had
plantar fasciitis. I am not a screamer, but let me tell you, that shot caused me to let out a shriek of pain that was heard in the parking lot of the podiatrist's office. It was so painful that I was unable to force myself to undergo the shot in my left heel that was scheduled for two weeks later. Furthermore, though many people do get relief from such shots, for me the shot did no good at all.

Another fairly drastic option for treating plantar fasciitis is surgery to loosen the plantar fascia by making a small cut in it. Certainly this treatment is effective for many people, but few would choose either surgery or those devilish cortisone shots if they had other less invasive treatment options.

Well, there are other treatments that should be tried before turning to surgery. The first time I had plantar fasciitis, I gave up my ten-mile-a-day walks, bought a car (which I had never done before), and abandoned stylish shoes (which are a major culprit in women's foot disorders). I also had a pair of custom-fitted insoles made--for $60--which I put into the Reebok walking shoes that I wore all the time until my heel pain subsided, which it did after about two months. I took aspirin every day to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

You should, of course, check with your doctor before using any over-the-counter NSAIDS (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or naproxen. But if your doctor approves such medication for you, and if you use it carefully (NSAIDS can be dangerous if improperly used), then such drugs do help to relieve the pain and inflammation of plantar fasciitis.

A few years after my first bout of plantar fasciitis, the condition flared up again, and this time it was even worse than the first time. I had not gone back to wearing high heels, but I had occasionally worn attractive flats that did not provide sufficient support for my unusually high arches--and I had sometimes walked distances in them, since I no longer had a car.

I need more arch support than most, but everyone should make sure that the shoes they wear offer good arch support, because most cases of plantar fasciitis could be prevented if only people would take better care of their arches.

This time the pain was so crippling that I ended up having to use a cane for over a year. (My son complained that I was getting old. I told him to think of it instead as an athletic injury--I walked so much that I damaged my feet.) Because I had to stay off my feet as much as possible, I became virtually housebound, not a situation I relish.

It was the severity of this bout of plantar fasciitis that drove me to subject myself to that dreadful cortisone shot. Because that shot didn't help, the podiatrist was recommending surgery. But I kept putting it off, even as I began to implement a couple of other suggestions she had tossed out.

First, I switched to New Balance walking shoes. For some reason, the New Balance brand provides better arch support for
plantar fasciitis sufferers, and podiatrists routinely recommend that their plantar fasciitis patients wear New Balance. For dressier occasions, I wear "grandma" shoes--fairly wide, well-constructed black or tan shoes with really good arch supports. (The brand I like is S.A.S. )

Admittedly, these shoes aren't pretty. I now wear slacks or calf-length skirts, because my granny shoes don't work well with shorter skirts and dresses. One other thing I did--and I believe this is what made the most immediate and dramatic difference in my condition--was to wear those pre-formed Futuro elastic ankle braces that you can buy for five or six dollars in any supermarket or drugstore. They are way cheaper than the custom-fitted insoles I purchased for $60 dollars the first time I had heel spurs, and since I didn't end up having to buy a car, treatment was much less expensive the second time around.

I never wore skirts while wearing the ankle braces, but I only had to wear them for five weeks before the pain in my heels faded away altogether, though I continued to wear them for another two weeks, just to be sure all was well. Those braces pull up and support the arches from below the foot, providing even better support than my custom-fitted insoles had.

I never went back to wearing pretty shoes without arch supports, except for those infrequent occasions when I need to dress up, but I know I will not be walking or standing around.

It has now been three years since that last bout of plantar
fasciitis. A couple of times since then, after I have walked long distances on hard surfaces (e.g., sidewalks or roads), I have felt the familiar twinge of heel pain. But whenever that happens, I just wear my braces again for a couple of weeks, and the pain goes away. In fact, sometimes I will wear my braces even when I don't have heel pain, if I know that I am going to walk a lot more than usual, and that prevents me from getting even the beginnings of heel pain.

If you suffer from plantar fasciitis, try changing to appropriate shoes, use NSAIDS if the doctor approves them for you, and start wearing ankle braces. The braces should be snug enough to provide good support, but not tight enough to impede circulation. (Those of us who are no longer young need to be careful about protecting the circulation in our feet.)

You may well discover that your heel pain goes away within a few weeks, and that you don't have to have surgery after all.

Even more important, you won't have to have one of those nightmarish cortisone shots!

What is someone that designs athletic sneakers called?

coolkid

What is the job that requires to design sports sneakers, cleats and stuff?

And sorry- I couldn't figure out what would be the best category for this question.

Answer
They could be called Athletic Shoes Designers or Sneakers Designers. Here is a brief discussion:

The origins of the sneaker reside in rubber soled shoes in the late nineteenth century. Profitable lines such as Keds, Converse, Puma, and Nike revolutionized athletics and comfort wear over the next century. Soon, sports stars began to lend their names and images to corporate shoes. This created entire lines of clothing and fashion, spiking sales and giving way to an entire subculture.

History
1. Rubber soled shoes were first called plimsolls. The major defect in the shoes were their size and lack of distinguishing between a right and left foot, making them relatively uncomfortable. Finally, in 1892, Goodyear begins to mass produce a rubber soled shoe called Keds. The advertising for the brand called them sneakers. The title came from the fact that someone could "sneak up on someone" while wearing them.

A revolution in specialization occurred in 1917 when a company called Converse introduced a canvas and rubber shoe geared towards basketball. The All-Star sported ankle support as the canvas would go higher up the leg than a normal shoe, creating the high top.
Features
2. 1920 saw the formation of Adidas by Adi Dassler in his mother's washroom. The company eventually released the first tennis shoe in 1931, creating a fad that continued for the next twenty years. Puma moved towards the idea of supplying entire sports teams with shoes in 1948. The company supplied the West German football team with shoes, highlighting their brand name in the Olympics.

1950 ushered in a decade that introduced the youth as a buying power in the United States. The image of rebellion provided by pop stars like James Dean helped to spur sales of sneakers to new heights. Wide varieties and styles of sneakers became available. With the support of sports stars, new technologies burst onto the scene.
Function
3. Throughout the remainder of the twentieth century, an emphasis on technology became the focus of companies. In 1968, a company called Nike, named after the Greek Goddess of Victory, began to market new designs and technologies. It developed the waffle sole. This created additional grip and traction for athletes. In 1979, Nike made the largest advancement in athletic shoes since their early inception. With the Nike Air, the company revolutionized cushioning by adding a pocket of air in the heel of the shoe. This resulted in added padding for athletes, aiding the safe and comfortable utilization of sneakers for an active lifestyle.
Types
4. Many styles and types of sneakers are available from a variety of companies. Amongst these are the overall athletic shoe and the modern, redesigned cleat. Racing and track shoes were developed for Olympic athletes to better enhance their abilities. Track shoes generally implement a rubber based bottom while adding small spikes for better grip. Some of the most popular sneakers are those designed for basketball. These can range in styles, but they usually offer ankle support and utilize the air technology developed by Nike.
Considerations
5. Sneaker companies have used popular sports stars in their advertising and marketing of shoes since almost their inception. The Chuck Taylor All-Star is one of the oldest and most profitable pair of sneakers. Released in 1923, it has sold more than 744 million pairs and maintained its popularity for decades. Converse's Jack Purcell tennis shoe spiked sales, and Joe Namath's Super Bowl III victory with Pumas added more attention to that company.

In 1985, Nike introduced perhaps the most successful line of shoes ever with the Air Jordan. Utilizing the success of Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan, the line has continued to be one of the fastest selling in the industry. Beyond the shoes themselves, Nike was able to move the iconic image into other merchandise, redeveloping the sneaker into an entire sports clothing line.

Help with Zumba Shoes?

Amy

I am in need of a pair of shoes for Zumba but every dance/zumba shoe I have tried on has been way too narrow for my foot. In regular shoes, I don't take a wide width, but these type of shoes must run really narrow. Has anyone found one that isn't so narrow? Thanks!!

Answer
You don't need to buy shoes that are marketed as Zumba shoes. You're probably paying too much for glorified cross trainers if you buy "zumba shoes". Check the source below. Scroll down about a third of the way down the page to see ideas on choosing good shoes for zumba class.

Help selecting running shoes?

A. Bunker

I am 6'0, 230 lbs. I have high arches, I under pronate (or supinate), and I wear a 4E width. Any suggestions for running shoes? Thanks.

Answer
You go in to a running shoe store and say you want running shoes, period. Good idea to go in with the type of socks you usually wear. If you have running shoes, go in with them also. They would check your shoes to see the wear pattern which would indicate what type of shoe you need, a stabilization shoe, underpronation or overpronation, etc. Then they would have you run in a shoe to see how you run. Once they have an idea of what you need they should pull out several models and have you try them for comfort, have you put both pairs on and jog around the store to see which you like best. They will probably should be half a size to a full size larger than your street shoes. And thatâs it! If you go to a shoe store and they don't ask to see you run first thing to get an idea of your needs, find another store.
Good luck!

The best running shoes?

Hot Eric G

Which shoes are the best supporting running/walking shoes on the market for treadmill?

Thanks
Erica

Answer
Are you looking for the best running shoes around? Since there are different types of running shoes, there are also a lot of running shoes that get top awards.

When looking for the best running shoe, you can't expect to find one shoe that deserves the âbestâ title solely.

The best shoe is different for every runner, depending on his specific foot type and needs. What can be best for one runner may be the worst for another. So there are certain criteria that you need to look at when looking for the best shoes for running.

Here are the winners in the various running shoe categories namely : Stability, Cushioning and Motion Control

We have considered the following brands : Nike, Adidas, Mizuno, Brooks, New Balance and Reebok running shoes.

Best Running Shoes for Stability
If it is a stability shoe that you are after and you want nothing but the best, here are some recommendations that will help you find the best pair.

Various running shoe brands came up with their own entrants to the stability shoe contest, and here are the winners.

Here are some top choices in the stability category :

The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 9
Asics Gel-Kayano Series (seen in the video)
Air Zoom Structure
Let us first start with the top pick, the Brooks Adrenaline :

1) Brooks Adrenaline GTS (click here)

From leading company, Brooks, there's the Adrenaline GTS 9, an upgrade from the previous Adrenaline GTS models.

The GTS 9 was named as the best stability running shoe because of its perfect fit for neutral runners and for runners who experience mild overpronation. It also combines stability perfectly with just the right pinch of cushioning.

The best prices we have found for the Brooks Adrenaline is through Amazon.com Running Shoes Section

2) Asics Gel Kayano (Click Here)


The same perfect blend can also be found from the highly popular Asics GEL-Kayano series, especially their 14th and 15th model. Take a look at the video above to see its features.

This superb shoe is quite often sold out at prime locations due to its popularity.

Again, some of the best and cheapest picks for the Gel Kayano is normally through Amazon.com Running Shoes Section

3) For Nike Fans - Nike Pegasus Running Shoes (click here)

And if you are a Nike fan, you will find the exact same set of benefits from Nike Air Zoom Structure Triax or the Nike Pegasus that has excellent stabilty.

Based on price, the GTS 9 still wins hands down, but the two other recommended shoes offer great value for the more expensive price they have.



Best Running Shoes for Cushioning
If you have high arches, you need more cushioning because your feet tend to fall down harder than runners' feet with low arches. High-arched runners also have a lot to choose from when they are on a quest to find the best running shoe for them.

Check out :

Adidas Cushion 7
Nike Pagasus
1) adidas Response Cushion

But if you are one of the many runners looking for superior cushioning, you better check out the Adidas Supernova Cushion 7, which is an explosively famous shoe for its top-of-the-line cushioning.

The Supernova Cushion 7 from the three-stripe brand provides supple cushioning in the midsole, especially around the arch area, to perfectly protect you from foot strain.

2) Nike Pegasus Running Shoes (click here) / ASICS GEL-Nimbus 12 Worth Checking Out

If you want to check out other options, also try the Nike Air Pegasus+, the GEL-Nimbus 9 from Asics as well as the Wave Rider 11 from Mizuno.

Both of which offers a cushioned, comfortable ride that won't shock your feet.



Best Running Shoes for Motion Control
If there are high-arched runners, there are also runners with flat feet. Flat-footed runners tend to be prone to extreme overpronation, which can pose challenges and difficulties to them as they pursue the finish line.

Severe overpronation can even hurt the heel and the low arch of the foot, and this is something that will seriously get in the way of your run. To remedy the situation, what you need are the best running shoes with motion control features.

1) Mizuno Alchemy 9 ( Click Here ) for Motion Support

These shoes work to control the rolling of your feet while you run. If you need shoes with rigid motion support, you'll find great reviews for the Mizuno Wave Alchemy 9, a hands-down winner according to various reviewing bodies.

Aside from that, you can also check out the Adidas adiStar Control, which is highly recommended for intense trainers and even racers who need motion control.

what are good light hiking boots?

red

I am going to Peru this summer and I'm going to be doing some light hiking through the rain forest. I need so hiking boots that can also act as athletic shoes and DRY QUICKLY. I was thinking about getting Patagonia Women's Drifter Hiking Shoe, but idk if it dries quickly. Has anyone used this shoe or know of another one? Links to your suggestions would be most helpful! Thanks!
Here is the patagonia shoe I was thinking of: http://www.endless.com/Womens-Shoes/b/242169011/ref=topnav_sd_womensmore_d?ie=UTF8&pf_rd_r=16RPZ9V95FPF639T7208&pf_rd_m=AF16NM0QF9TKW&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B002TUU1UI&pf_rd_p=1341505382&pf_rd_s=headernav2#__ie%3DUTF8%26cAsin%3DB0048EK80Q%26fromPage%3Dsearch%26sr%3D1-38%26qid%3D1326736690322%26asinTitle%3DPatagonia~~20Drifter~~20Hiking~~20Shoe%26contextTitle%3Dsearch~~20results%26clientPageSize%3D100%26node%3D2223300011%26sort%3Drelevance-fs-browse-rank%26page%3D1%26nodes%3D2223300011%26asin%3DB002ZLQ2T0%26ref%3Dsr_1_38%26pageCode%3Dd

Answer
You'd be better with lightweight waterproof high jungle boots that give good ankle protection and can be sealed against ticks, jumping spiders and leeches and all the other crawlies in Peruvian (or other) rainforest.
Wear waterproof gaiters over them and long pants tucked into long socks.
All insect proof then.
Jungle boots are high for a reason. They stop leeches and other crawlies getting to your feet and legs.
http://www.arrse.co.uk/content/312-review-lowa-elite-jungle-boots-napier.html
High walking boots like these are OK...lots of makers, easy to find and these days you can run in them. I go mountain running in hiking boots in wet weather because they're better than trainers....more grip and more protection. It's easy to slip on wet or mossy rock and the boots help a lot against rock bruising. You'll find plenty of slippy logs in Peruvian rainforest.
http://www.cissburyleathers.co.uk/imac-lady-freelander-trekking-boot-l181-i8215.html
Gaiters...seal the gap against insects and torrential rain.
It can rain bathtubs full in a couple of minutes in the Amazon.
With a cape, gaiters and waterproof pants, water flows straight over the boots, not inside and you stay dry all over.
Capes are commonly used since they can be put on quickly and they cover the pack as well.
In open country it's usually best just to strip off. It's easier to dry undies than outer wear and you get a fresh shower. Take some soap or shower get and make use of it. Be like the locals haha.
http://www.rei.com/expertadvice/articles/gaiters.html

Keep your arms covered when the light drops or in dark forest to avoid bites and take some insect repellent and a mossie net for your face in damp or wet country.
Mossies fly in the dark. So do thousands of other insects that hide in daytime.
You'll need anti-histamine tablets and cream like Phenergan for bites and allergies.
Mosquito coils are handy to burn when you stop to keep insects away, and under the bed at night if you're in huts or tents.. They smoulder for hours and some have perfumes in so they smell better.
Buy them locally far cheaper than at home.

See 12 lines down on here for footwear. All of it is good for Peru which is similar for trekking in to the jungles of Madagascar and northern Malaysia.

How long does it take to get NikeiD Tennis Shoes?

Q. I ordered my shoes (Nike Free Run 2 iD Womens Running Shoe) on the 4th (6 days ago) and the order status says Confirmed. I need them by the 22nd (11 days away)... When do you think i will get then?
I live in Coppell, TX. (near Dallas).
Thanks!
It's Ground shipping**
And since my order is confirmed, how many more steps until it is shipped and what are they?
Thanks!! :)

Answer
Seeing how you ordered them on Thursday and I'll give them Friday to process and put your package into delivery. Saturday is where they would initial start the delivery, skipping Sunday. ground would take 5-7 business days, so you package technically starts to head towards you on Monday even though they might have taken your package into a truck. So I would probably give them until Friday, Aug 12th until Aug. 16th. I'm sure you will get your package before the 22nd, and don't forget to break the shoes in, if they are needed, as soon as possible.

Another way is that you probably got a confirmation e-mail from UPS/FEDEX/DHL. Use that confirmation code (usually its a long code) to track where your package is. When I was tracking my shoes, it took them about a day to go across 1-3 states.

Answer
How long it is going to take will depend on when Nike actually ships it out and who is shipping it (which will determine where they are shipping from) and the shippers facility relative to Coppell, TX. You may or may not get them (I know that doesn't helP and if you need them for a competition, it is generally not a good idea not to where shoes (or anything else) for the first time when competing. Break them in and get accustomed to them in practice.

Are the Nike Swift or Nike Free good shoes to start running in?

ryan

I'm 243 lbs, 5'9 and starting to run everyday.. just trying to find out what's a good shoe

Answer
No way, these shoes "Nike Free" are made to resemble running barefoot. So if you'd say your a runner and thinking of buying these shoes to wear about 15% of your running then I'd say yes. Plus with your weight it would be putting crazy stress on your body in every area possible and that isn't good at all. You need some good cushioned running shoes, if want Nike I suggest any of the Shox in the running section. But I think you'll find the best shoe in either Asics or even New Balance (they make shoes best for those with wide feet). Most shoe models come in a standard width, but New Balance has all kinds of different width for people with wider feet. I love Nike but they are made very narrow and are a tight squeeze sometimes!

Does anybody have the NIKE FREE 5.0 running shoe?

Mr.idontgi

i have heard that its good for running/training, but is it also comfortable and good to wear on an everyday basis?

Answer
Yes.
I find the 5.0 Free's make a comfortable everyday wear shoe. That being said, I don't have any serious foot problems (under/over pronation, fallen arches, etc) and I'm not a heavy person (160 lbs). I also use the thicker of the two insoles the shoes come with and wear thin low profile socks. The shoes are light, very flexible and have a clean low profile appearance that looks good with shorts or jeans. They don't have the super cushy feel of, say, a trail shoe but neither do they have the bulk. I find no problem racking up plenty of walking around miles in them.

Where would you rather move?

someguy29

So to cut a long story short, I've about had it with Edmonton and really Alberta in general. Not that I don't love this city (it's home after all), but I just need to get out. I want to go to a new city and start up a whole new life; I want to start fresh.

I'm thinking either Toronto or Vancouver.

I still want to be in a big city. Money isn't really a problem as I run my own business out of my home, and it would be relatively easy to just pick everything up and move the business with me. And as far as cost of living goes, it's gotten pretty damn high here, so I'd be accustomed to paying more for things - even after factoring in PST, etc. I don't have much family, just friends. I love the rain, so Vancouver would be perfect in the winter, but I also love snow (but not necessarily the extreme cold), so that's just another thing that makes we want to go for Toronto.

I'm just looking for some advice and suggestions. And in addition, can you suggest another place besides Toronto or Vancouver?

Answer
I would narrowly pick Toronto, though I really like both cities. If you also like outdoors activities, then Vancouver is your best bet (Hiking, fishing, skiing).

If I were in your shoes, though, it would be Montreal or QC. You want a fresh start? Montreal is culturally unique and very different from Edmonton.

Would you buy semi-custom, hand-made sandals for $50? Need business to pick up!?

xamayca.co

Would you buy semi-custom, hand-made sandals for under $50? Need help marketing my product.?
I have a beautiful pair of sandals that I've owned for over 10 years and thought that they would be a sure hit. So far I've had great reviews of the products (which are hand-crafter and very high quality), but not too many sales. What's a great way to bring custom shoes to the American (and other ) masses?
Mostly requesting success stories from others who've run import/export or custom product companies. Also channel strategies? Retail vs. Wholesale?

Feeback on pricing also welcome!

Answer
I'm not a business type person. This is just an Idea.
Where I live (Edmonton) there are shoe and leather goods repair stores in the malls. These have a couple of those heavy sewing machines and sell heavy sewing and resoling etc. They also sell a small range of products like wax,polish ,dyes, laces and quites often a small range of slippers.
Now here is the thing,Most of them around me also carry a line of custom moccasins, native made. These are not the real high grade art store or museum grade stuff but are more like comfortable slipper and casual wear stuff. The pricing is not K-mart but it is not super expensive either. These small shops often have some extra wall or shelf and like interesting product to display. If it is something that does not cost much in storage,or care, and can move enough to pay for itself. they might be interested. Again they seem to be looking for unique products that catch peoples eyes and attract them to the main service, these are not shoe stores but niche marketeers, selling a service.
I have also seen some stores with a small display of spiked ice gripping outer soles that you strap on for walking in icy conditions(our sidewalks are bad for that in winter)which come in three sizes, don't take much space to display, and in this case are seasonal. I wish I had some great and guaranteed ideas to offer, but this is all for now. I have no idea how they figure out the selling arrangement(commission, wholesale or consignment) or if it is done as space rental.
And if I was looking for sandals you bet I would buy a decent pair for under 50 bucks, the ones they sell for over a hundred are all mass product and I have big feet so I can't wear them.Thats another Idea, try one of those Hiking type stores, their customers are cash rich, and if they are like me then they are very dissatisfied with the selection of footwear, and I am a member of a Mountain Equipment Co-op. The sandals all suck that they can get, to small and wrong shape, my toes are not pointy, why should my boots be(Except my riding boots and even not them usually). If I could find sandals like the pair a friend brougt me from the Middle east years ago I would buy them in a flash, never knew what country she got them from, Israel I think.

Walking around Disney World?

Trevor D

Ok, I'm planing to leave for Disney in about 5 days. I remember last time where my feet were absolutely killing me.I was wondering if there was a way to prevent this?

Can exercise help?

Answer
Exercise can help, but if you've only got five days, that's really not enough time to get your body ready for the amount of walking you will be doing. Just make sure you have comfortable, supportive shoes. I would pass on anything thin soled like flip flops. Also, put your feet up when you can.

Need a comfortable walking or athletic shoe for trip to Walt Disney World in July, any ideas?

Mrs. Picky

Don't normally wear them, and I don't want hurting feet to ruin my trip. I don't like Burks. Something under $100 would be nice.
Everyone keeps mentioning crocs, what do these shoes look like, how much do they cost, and where can I buy them?

Answer
I buy the $30 shoes from Walmart or Target. They work really well for me and they're cheap. My mom wears either Keens or Crocs and she won't wear anything else. The most important thing is to break them in before you go. Wear them as much as possible so your feet get used to them. A good option is to buy a couple pairs, break them both in, and alternate when your at Disney World.

To help avoid blisters, wear a thin pair of socks under a thick pair. The socks will rub against each other and not rub as much on your foot.

Also, Disney is HUGE. There is A LOT of walking. Your feet will get sore no matter what you do because you'll be walking for miles each day.

Best spikeless long distance running shoe?

ihaha

For women. Just a basic, comfy, shoe that is created for long distance that works well, but also is not very expensive.

Answer
You shouldn't run in a spike for long distances anyway, unless you're planning on running a blazing 5k or 10k at a track or cross country meet. You should really go to a specialty running store, where employees will watch you run in several different shoes to tell you which one is the best for your stride. Depending on how you place your feet when you land, you'll need a cushioned, neutral, or stability shoe. In my experience, the employees at the store will never tell you to buy the most expensive shoe just to sell you an expensive shoe. They are trained and are usually runners themselves who can also give training advice, know good local running routes, or which races are best to run. Local running stores often host training groups as well.
Most high-quality running shoes are going to cost around $90, but if you ask, your local running store might give a 10% discount if you're a student or for some other reason. Keep in mind that the shoes might be more expensive than you'd like, but doctor bills resulting from injuries from running in a poor or inappropriate pair of shoes will be many times more expensive.

Q on Running Shoes?

J.A.

I'm thinking of buying running shoes but, I don't know what are the best brands out there. Can any of you people here recommend a top quality brand of running shoes? I'm thinking of buying Nike running shoes so what is the best Nike running shoe? Also, what is the difference between Nike Air Max 360 and Nike Air Max 180?

Answer
running shoes need to e specific for your ability and running style there are some store that will let you try them out by putting you on a treadmill and Analise your running stride.also there is an on line running store called road runner sports. they will help you if you call them or go to their website. they also have a 30 money back guarantee if the shoes do not work. Nike to me is confusing they have all these same name shoes with different numbers and I really have not figured it out, but they also have a website and people that are more than willing to assist you when you call their on line store. personally I like Asics and Saucony

what kind of running shoes ?

Xaaennnnnn

what kind of running shoes should i get for conditioning . it has to have an arch and support . thanks in advance !

Answer
Running shoes need to be fitted for you by a pro at a running shop, since which shoe you'll need depends on the shape of your feet and your individual stride and body mechanics. Running in a poorly fitted shoe is one of the leading causes of foot & leg injuries in runners, so your best bet is to find a specialty running store in your area (preferably not a big chain sporting goods store) and ask for a running shoe fitting. They should measure your foot in several different ways and watch you walk and run both barefoot and in socks (if they don't do this, go somewhere else). Based on this information, the person doing the fitting should be able to pull out several different shoes that might be a good match for you; then it's a matter of taking a little walk/run in each of them and deciding which is the most comfortable.

Best of luck! :)
