Shoes. Какую обувь мы носим? (стр. 5 )

       Еще один важный момент, который следует помнить, - это приобрести обувь, предназначенную для той деятельности, которой вы планируете заниматься. Обувь для бега специально разработана для обеспечения надлежащей амортизации на пятке и гибкости на носках, которые нужны спортсменам. Обувь для ходьбы имеет амортизирующую пятку и сгибается на шаре стопы. Кросс-тренеры часто являются хорошей универсальной обувью для общих упражнений. Баскетбольные ботинки предназначены для баскетбола и, возможно, не лучший выбор, если вы много гуляете. Велоспорт обувь более жесткая и т. д. / Another important point to remember is to purchase shoes that are meant for the activity you want to do. Running shoes are specially designed to provide the proper cushioning at the heel and flexibility at the toes that athletes need. Walking shoes have a shock absorbing heel and flex at the ball of the foot. Cross-trainers are often good all-purpose shoes for general exercise. Basketball shoes are meant for basketball and may not be the best choice if you do a lot of walking. Cycling shoes are stiffer to help you pedal more efficiently but don’t work well for most other activities. Dress shoes can be comfortable as well as look good. Many dress shoes are now made with a sneaker-like sole that provides better cushioning and tread and better arch support. Expensive Italian loafers are not for everybody.

Ищите хорошую конструкцию обуви / Look for good shoe construction

       Some basic principles of a good shoe include a cushioned heel, firm sole that doesn’t easily twist or bend, and flexibility at the proper area depending on the type of shoe. A soft breathable material for the upper of the shoe makes it more comfortable to wear for longer period of time and less likely to cause rubbing or skin irritation. The upper of the shoe should allow adjustment (laces, straps, etc.) to comfortably hold the foot in place with activity. There should be some arch support in the shoe or in the insert inside the shoe. Many shoes can be made to fit better simply by removing the factory insert and replacing it with a high quality off-the-shelf orthotic. Custom orthotics are rarely necessary and should be prescribed by your doctor for specific foot disorders.

       Following these simple steps will help minimize your risk of shoe problems and foot problems. Don’t believe the myth that fashionable shoes have to be uncomfortable. There are many stylish shoes out there that feel good too. If you have certain foot or ankle problems, then talk to your orthopaedic foot and ankle doctor. Don’t sacrifice comfort and safety for fashion. Your feet will thank you in the long run, short run, and even just walking around [http://www. aofas. org/footcaremd/how-to/footwear/Pages/10-Points-of-Proper-Shoefit. aspx].

2.5. Уход за обувью / Our caring for shoes

Как продлить жизнь вашей обуви / How to Make Your Shoes Last Forever

       Каждый тип обуви требует особого внимания. / Every type of shoe—from sneakers to brogues—requires special attention. With these tips, your kicks may out last you.

       Вся обувь создается по-разному и нуждается в надлежащем уходе. И, соответственно, требует определенного ухода. / Not all shoes are created equal. You can’t treat a canvas sneaker the same way you would a leather brogue. However, each type needs the same proper care and maintenance.

1. КОЖАНАЯ ОБУВЬ НУЖДАЕТСЯ В ПОЛИРОВКЕ / POLISH LEATHER OFTEN

As soon as you take your new shoes out of the box, give them a good polish. Polish your shoes each time you put them on, or at least rub them down before you venture out into bad weather.

2. ЗАМША ТРЕБУЕТ ОСОБОГО УХОДА / PROTECT AND BRUSH SUEDE

If you’re investing in suede shoes, treat them with a protective suede spray that resists water, salt, and mud so they won’t be damaged by the elements. We recommend testing the spray before using it, as it could change the color of your shoes. You should also commit to a good suede eraser and brush for maintenance. First, use your eraser to target stains. Then, follow up with the brush to bring the nap of the suede back to its original state.

3. ИСПОЛЬЗУЙТЕ ОБЫЧНУЮ ГАЗЕТУ ДЛЯ СУШКИ / SAVE THE SUNDAY PAPER

If you find yourself caught in a sudden downpour, save your shoes from permanent damage by drying them as soon as you get home. Stuff your shoes with newspaper to soak up the moisture and place them in a well-ventilated area as you wait for them to dry. Whatever you do, don’t pick up the hair dryer or place them near a heater, which will damage and make the leather cracked and brittle.

4. НЕ ИСПОЛЬЗУЙТЕ ГУБКУ / DROP THE SPONGE

We are against using sponges on your shoes because it’s hard to tell what’s in them. Sometimes, the sponge tip applicator attached to your favorite shoe polish can contain ingredients that are harmful to your shoes. Instead, look for a shoe-care kit that contains essentials like polish and a natural hair brush.

5. ОБЕСПЕЧЬТЕ ДОПОЛНИТЕЛЬНУЮ РЕЗИНОВУЮ ПОДОШВУ ВАШЕЙ ОБУВИ / ADD A LAYER OF RUBBER

Before you wear your new dress shoes, ask a cobbler to place a rubber sole on the bottom. Not only will the rubber protect the leather soles from damage, but it will also give you extra traction. Plus, it’s easier—and more affordable—to replace worn rubber soles than leather. For the roughly $20 investment, you’ll prolong the life of your favorite shoes.

6. СДЕЛАЙТЕ НАБОЙКИ / ROUGHEN UP YOUR BOOTS

Don’t put your boots through the ringer just to get that rugged, worn-in look. You can still get the same effect after protecting the leather. Use a leather balm and neutral cream, but avoid buffing them to a shine. Just watch the soles. Are the heels uneven or worn down on one side? See your cobbler to resole them so you can wear the hell out of them for years.

7. ДОБАВЬТЕ ВОЗРАСТ ВАШЕ ОБУВИ, ИСПОЛЬЗУЯ ЧЕРНЫЙ КРЕМ ДЛЯ КОРИЧНЕВЫХ БОТИНОК / ADD AGE, INSTANTLY

When you’re in a pinch—or if you want to experiment with a burnished style—you can use black shoe polish on brown shoes. The black polish won’t do any damage to your boots; it’ll only make the leather a bit darker and more rustic-looking.

8. ИСПОЛЬЗУЙТЕ ПОДСОЛЕННУЮ ВОДУ ДЛЯ МЫТЬЯ / EMBRACE THE ELEMENTS

You don’t always have to polish your boat shoes. They’re meant to be salt-washed and faded, so let them live through the elements, he says.

9. ИСПОЛЬЗУЙТЕ ДОРОГИЕ КРЕМА /  ИСПINVEST IN QUALITY POLISH

Ignore your urge to take the bargain route. You need actual shoe polish—not the sneaker scuff cleaner from the local drugstore. These cheap cleaners may save you several bucks, but they don’t actually remove scuffs. Instead, they layer on a white paste that appears chalky when dry.

10. МОЙТЕ ОБУВЬ ВРУЧНУЮ / HAND WASH YOUR CANVAS

The best way to clean your canvas sneakers is by hand with fabric shampoo and water—not in the washing machine. Even on a gentle cycle, the soles of your shoes can break down and look more worn-out [https://www. /style/10-ways-care-for-your-shoes].

How to Care for Your Shoes

Spray new shoes with a waterproof protector. It will keep the surface from getting marred if they do get wet in the rain. Add taps and half-soles of rubber to the bottoms. A shoe repairman can do this for around $20, and the reinforcements will add many years to the life of your shoes. Alternate pairs. You want your shoes to have time to breathe between wearings. Also, let shoes dry for several hours before putting them in the dank recesses of your closet. Clean the insides. This is especially important if odor is a problem. Swab them with alcohol or a drop of tea tree oil, an antifungal agent. Take care not to splash to avoid staining the leather. Wear hose or sock liners. This will protects against perspiration, which erodes insoles. Use shoe trees. They help retain the shoe's shape. "Use forms made of cedar for the pair worn that day to absorb moisture," says Joe Rocco from Jim's Shoe Repair in New York City. Plastic trees are fine for your other shoes. Polish leather. The salt in sweat dries out leather over time; polishing regularly keeps it supple [https://www. /beauty-fashion/shoes-accessories/shoes/care-for-shoes].
