How do you repair athletic shoes?

Paul

The sole is starting to detach in the front.

Answer
Shoe Goo or Goop is the best stuff I have ever used. It repairs a lot more than shoes. I used it on the toe cap on my shoes and it lasted longer than the shoes did. Go to Wal-Mart and look on the shoe care rack in the shoe dept. It should be below the athletic shoe laces, It runs about $3.97 for a large tube.

Best athletic shoe?

Callie

My man has flat feet, kind of wide, and habitual corns.,... what would be the best tennis shoe for him?

He likes Nike's but I was thinking Adidas.

Answer
I have flat feet too (that are kind of wide when i step) and need to buy shoes with a low arch and with enough room around the front of the shoe. I tend to by Adidas because they usually have more low-arched shoes than Nike (from my experience). I've bought the clima-cool shoes and have been using them for years. They are really comfortable, but the ones I have are for running. The most important thing to consider, however, is to choose the right shoe no matter what the brand is.

For more information here's an article from WebMD about choosing shoes:

And another great website about choosing running shoes that I've used:

Equipment and training to make athletic shoes?

downlinere

How are athletic shoes made, what kind of equipment is needed, and where can you learn to make shoes?

Answer
I was a shoe designer and the ability to make shoes is a combination of craft and science

You need some very sophisticated equipment special sewing machines and the shoe made in leather or synthetics will each be different again

I learnt through a factory and had to learn every step which took over a year to do each step
There is the technology in the materials that make up the shoes
modern shoes have special molds for making the out soles, then you need eye let machines and a host of processes from cleaning to finishing

there are companies in China that will make a shoe for you if you design it
However you Can't walk into most companies and buy 1 metre of cloth sometimes you can only but rolls of 300metres at a time

athletic works shoes?

millied793

hey so im on my schools track team and i was woundering if athletic works are good for running shoes??

Answer
To be honest with you I'd stay away from them. They are a very generic type of shoe and a more name brand shoe will probably suit you better. Unless you have a budget of like less than $20 you should probably shop around online froma major athletic retailer.

You need to know if you just need running shoes or track spikes. I've seen $85 msrp Nike spikes on sale for $9.99 on eastbay.com because they were last years models.

You could plenty of shoes for less than $40 online.
Try these company websites and look uner track or running categories...
FinishLine
FootLocker
FootAction
ChampsSports
Eastbay.com
FinalScore.com

Most shoes you will find in payless, walmart, kmart, target etc. aren't going to be that great. They won't be using quality leathers, midsoles, etc, nor do you have billion dollar advancement teams working around the clock to make even better shoes than you could imagine. Go into a shoe store and ask to check out the technical running shoes. Stay away from the shoxs and bounce pillars etc cuz those are just maketing gimmick shoes. Go with a good Brooks, Asics, or Saucony running shoe. You can thank me later. :)

Do you consider skater shoes to be just like athletic shoes?

shea

My teacher thinks that skater shoes should be banned from my school because it isn't a type of athletic shoe. Do you think it's athletic? If so, how should I prove it?

Answer
Yes.

You are athletic when you are skating in them.
Make a petition and i hope it works! Prove it by showing her a video you personally made about people skating inthe perticular shoes. Show her how you can be athletic in them. If she does not approve i suggest Heelies. They are gym shoes with little rollers on the bottom. they are quite fun and simple and also athletic!

hope it all works out for you!!

What would be the best adhesive to glue a sole back on an athletic shoe?

best athletic shoes image

weakestlin

The last several pairs of athletic shoes I've purchased, the back sole separates from the shoe after wearing for a few weeks. I've tried rubber cement, fixture adhesive and silicone caulk. None of these work. Any suggestions?

Answer
The best glue is something called "Goop" Make sure you clean the rubber parts with a solvent. An alcohol will work, but so will something stronger like acetone (don't use too much or your shoe will dissolve). Clamp the parts together for 24 hours - a regular clamp is best but a couple of boards wrapped together with rope will work too.

What is the best athletic shoe for an overweight woman?

owl

Any overweight women know of a really comfortable athletic shoe that is good for walking for long periods of time? I'm having trouble finding a comfortable shoe that won't make my feet hurt while walking. And also one that isn't absolutely hideous.

Answer
Try buying shoes in a wider size. Plus size clothing stores like avenue, fashion bug, lane bryant, catherines, catos, ect. Have athletic shoes available in double wide as well. You can also check ebay. I found when I started exercising to lose weight most shoes were actually very comfortable, but after walking my feet leaned to the outside and it was uncomfortable. After buying a decent pair of tennis shoes in a wider size that fixed the problem. I didn't have to buy anything expensive, but you should if you want them to last longer and wear better.

Can you wear athletic shoes to play football instead of football cleats?

best athletic shoes image

Kha4life

I just can't find football cleats in shoes stores. Can i still play football with athletic shoes instead of cleats? Is that the point of athletic shoes anyway?

Answer
No you really cant because of the grass if you wear just shoes you'll slip around and can injure yourself its not worth it. You can try websites like eastbay.com, footballamerica.com, or footlocker.com. there are a lot more sites but those are the ones that come to mind
