I’m looking for thin, flat shoes. Not the bulky kinds.

Go to zappos.com, click on women’s shoes, Onitsukas athletic shoes have thinner soles.

Sneakers…tennis shoes. Go fasters…whatever you wanna call em.

I used to love Sketchers…I bought a new pair of New Balance and they’re far better than the shoes I’ve been buying religiously for 8 years now.

I’m a Nike kinda guy, I love doing it!

I have a pair of Nike athletic shoes that are not leather. I wore them on day when it was pretty nasty and rainy outside and they are pretty grungy looking now. Since I can’t just wipe them off with a wet cloth, how can I clean them? I don’t want to put them in my washing machine.

Thanks

Take 1 once of laundry detergent and pour it in a bucket.

Mix in 3 cups of warm water.

With a whisk, whip it up and make a lot of suds.

Scoop the suds onto the shoes and brush it in with a soft brush.

Take a damp rag and wipe down your shoes.

Viola! there clean.

My mom’s looking for the brand of Russian athletic shoes that are like the new Sketcher ones that are kind of curved at the heel.(They’re supposed to improve your posture, and help you get fit)
The Skecher’s ones are called shape-ups

there isnt one Sketchers owns that form so just go to amazon or something like that.

It seems impossible to find shoes that look like DC court, or athletic skat shoes that aren’t made of either leather or suede. Does anyone have any recommendations, a picture of the shoe would be appreciated if you can thanks. Just a brand name will also do nicely.
skate i meant sorry for the typo

Vans has a vegan section:

Also, Geoff Rowley is vegan and so are his shoes.

I have a herniated disc and scaitica so I’m looking for a good athletic shoe. Even a running shoe. Any ideas? I heard Saucony is good?

New balance cushioning shoe, MR1063
Asics cushioning shoe, Gel Nimbus
Nike cushioning shoe, Air Zoom Vomero

These three are the high end cushioning shoes, popular and cater to your needs.

My husband is needing new running/athletic shoes. He said he wants Nike Shox. But I don’t really see the point in paying $80+, especially since he goes through shoes fast. So……are they just cool looking or do they actually make a difference?

Shox are terrible running shoes. That is the cold hard truth. If he is a runner, i strongly recommend against them. And yes, athletes go through many pair of shoes a year. But the maximum recommended for any athlete is 300miles or 3 months. whichever comes first. And i recommend only using running shoes to run, not for everyday use. helps keep them up and less wear and tear.

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

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
