The need for comfortable shoes

There is no better feeling than when you are wearing a comfortable men's shoe. Comfortable shoes allow you to enjoy the day’s activities pain free. Wearing shoes that fit properly can also prevent potential health problems from occurring.

Most men's shoes can last an average of three to twelve months. As you begin to wear out a shoe, you begin to notice a difference in comfort. Worn out shoes can cause back pain, sore knee joints, or aching feet. The time to replace your shoes is when the cushion has broken down or the motion control has been lost.

Everyone’s feet are different so the best shoes for you are the ones that gives you the proper fit, support, cushioning, and flexibility.
Choose a well-cushioned stability shoe that compensates for any irregularities in your foot or your stride.

Some Common Foot Irregularities

High Arched Feet

A high arched foot does not roll inward very much at all. There is a highly curved arch along the inside of the foot. Also, the toes appear to be in a clawed position. Highly arched feet are very rigid and are unable to absorb shock when making contact with the ground. The reason for this is that the foot is not able to roll inward when the foot makes contact with the ground. This lack of pronation can cause heel, knee, shin, and back problems. Inserting special pads in the shoes, which compensate for this condition, treats highly arched feet. The pads allow the feet to absorb shock more easily. People with high arched feet, should try to stay away from stability or motion control shoes, which reduce foot mobility.

Flat Feet

The term “Flat Feet” refers to people who have a low arch, or no arch at all. Sometimes they are said to have "fallen arches". Most people's feet have a space on the inner side when the bottom of the foot comes in contact with the ground. This is called the arch. The height of the arch varies in size from one person to another. Flat Feet are generally a hereditary condition. The best shoe for this condition would be a motion control or stability shoe with a firm mid-sole.

Over or Under Pronation.

Over pronation is the excessive inward rolling motion of the foot. This inward motion is considered unhealthy because it can cause a great deal of strain on the back, ankles, knees, and lower legs. The wearing of men's casual shoes can sometimes help this symptom. Over pronation can cause shin splints, plantar fascitis, and IT band syndrome. Under pronation occurs when the outside of the foot takes the brunt of the shock when coming in contact with the ground. This condition can cause problems with the ligaments in your feet and ankles. Stability shoes feature either a dual density mid-sole or a roll bar to help combat pronation problems.

The Red Shoes

The 1948 classic by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, has now been vividly restored for a cinema re-release and it just blazes out of the screen: profoundly serious, sublimely innocent, yet deeply and mysteriously erotic. This is the compelling parable of the destructive demands made by art upon the artist, and upon performing artists expected to sublimate their emotions into a quasi-sexual submission to their director – a parable that seems to change into a portrait of psychotic disorder or actual demonic possession. It is also, incidentally, a portrait of an age in which the marriage contract instantly nullified a woman's professional identity. Moira Shearer is the beautiful English ingenue Vicky Page, who, on the premature retirement of her ballet company's leading lady, is catapulted to the position of prima ballerina. She has been promoted by Boris Lermontov, the company's exacting and demanding director, a martinet unforgettably played by Anton Walbrook with superbly weary elegance and fastidious disdain for all that is second rate. His handsome, sensitive, lined face is deeply expressive of both passion and pain. Although the ttle s Red Shoes the film has more than just that.
