The foot is an anatomical structure found in many vertebrates. It is the terminal portion of a limb which bears weight and allows locomotion. In many animals with feet, the foot is a separate organ at the terminal part of the leg made up of one or more segments or bones, generally including claws or nails. The human foot and ankle is a strong and complex mechanical structure containing 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than a hundred muscles, tendons, and ligaments.[1] An anthropometric study of 1197 North American adult Caucasian males (men age 35.5 years) found that a man's foot length was 26.3&_160;cm with a standard deviation of 1.2&_160;cm.[2] The foot can be subdivided into the hindfoot, the midfoot, and the forefoot

6. Repairing the Heel on Your Running Shoes
November 06, 2009
As any runner will tell you, most running shoes wear quickly and unevenly. This means that although your high-tech EVA midsole may have plenty of bounce left in it, the traction on the outer sole may have worn away - or vice versa. One of the most common places running shoes wear down is on the inside of the shoe’s heel. The fabric of the shoe wears away so that the plastic heel counter is exposed. (This is the part of the shoe that covers your Achilles tendon).
There are several ways to patch up this problem, each requiring varying levels of expertise and maintenance. Choose a method th... (read more)

8. Resoling Your Old Shoes
November 06, 2009
Some of us cannot bear to part with a favorite pair of shoes. I, for one, stand guilty as charged. I still wear my favorite pair of knee-high brown boots despite the fact that their soles are marred with cracks that let the water in (not to mention all kinds of other street fluid whose origins I’d rather not think about) and make an embarrassing “popping” sound that turns heads every time I walk down the street. My favorite pair of Saltwater Sandals (purchased at age 13 and worn proudly until age 21) went through a whole series of color transformations from blue to green to silver to gold to h... (read more)

Before handing over money to a shoe repairman to fix boots that most likely cost you a pretty penny in the first place, consider these alternative solutions.

17. Battling the Bully - Standing Up for Yourself with Confidence and Assertiveness
November 05, 2009
When I was young, there was a girl who was a year younger and a foot taller than me. She bullied me for approximately two years. One day something inside of me snapped; I decided I wasn’t going to take her abuse any longer and stood up to her. Unfortunately, our confrontation ended in a fight, which I won. She never picked on me again. I learned at an early age that if you allow people to bully, harass, or cut you down, then they will do so. If, on the other hand, you make a decision to stand up for yourself and not allow the bully to take control, then s/he will move on to someone or somethi... (read more)

24. History and Overview of Nine West Shoes
November 05, 2009
