     Feet need some special care during summer. Heat and humidity will aid in growth of ample bacteria, so taking measures to reduce these will help enormously.

 

 

 

Barefooted  During the summer you need to protect your feet rather than yourself from several problems. During winter you wear shoes to remain warm all day. Therefore, summer is the time to let feet be absolutely airy. Most important blood vessels and nerve endings end up in the feet thereby making it the most important part of the body.

     Since there is such crowd of blood vessels and nerves inside feet, you can imagine how your feet must sweat. And when your wear shoes, the sweat and the dust can make it quite miserable for you, this is the most likely period when you can contact several skin ailments. Therefore, it is most advisable to leave your feet open and let them feel the air.

     Wear open footwear like the slip on, leather sandals, flip flops, etc. each time you can. When your feet are not heavily clothed you will feel less warm and your feet will feel the comfort. However, since you are not wearing shoes, it is most likely that the dust will get on your feet from time to time. It is therefore necessary, that you give your feet a good wash from time to time during the day.

     Footwear can be the one giving a little acupressure. This will help you in remaining energetic. When it comes to foot care, do not forget to wash your feet before you go to bed at night, apply slight soap, and use a puma stone to remove all dead skin cells. This will remove any smell from your feet. Also dry your feet thoroughly and apply hydrating cream or lotion. If you want to keep your legs in shape try and take pillow under your feet. It will avoid swellings due to excessive usage.

     Your feet could be better if you apply creams and lotions and leave them untouched after a gentle massage. This could be done by placing a pillow just above your feet and not allow them to touch the bed.

     Unless it gets cold at night, you should try and leave feet open. Skin rejuvenates best at night and your feet may just need that. Allowing feet skin to breathe can avoid many infections. If you want to further treat your feet and body, try slight massage by running thumbs over the feet. You will feel relaxed instantly and will be able to fall asleep instantly. This massage need not be scientific, simple rubbing would do the trick. This massage should be at least 5 minutes.

     If you want to relax your feet totally, submerge your feet in warm water for 10 minutes with little salt. Water should not be hot neither should it be lukewarm. The temperature should be comfortable hot. You will feel instantly relaxed and your feet will feel very clean and soft. Moisturizing needs to after every cleansing. If you want to relax your feet, use aromatherapy oil, which is best suited for the needs and lightly massage your feet.

     Usage of oil ensures that feet are softer and the skin is firmer. You can carry out this routine for some days and enjoy its exhilarating effects. Foot massage every night will ensure good night’s sleep, intense relaxation and overall health.

     Also ensure you wear just the right kind of footwear during summer, it should be airy and comfortable.

Women's Shoe Closet     There is no question about it - we love womens shoes. There are even women who cannot drive past a shoe store with out dropping in to buy a brand new pair of womens shoes. Have you ever driven past a shoe store when there was a sale going on? The parking lot is packed, and the way women walk out with boxes piled high, you would think that they were giving the shoes away!

     A woman makes a statement with her shoes today. If you open the door of any average woman’s closet, you will be able to tell quite a bit about her - by checking out her shoes. That scuffed up pair are her favorites. Those sneakers with the mud caked on them are an indication that she may be a runner - or possibly a gardener. If you see cowboy boots, she may ride horses, but if the boots are in excellent condition - with no dirt, scuffs or dust - she is probably into country and western dance. Are there a large number of dress shoes in every color and size imaginable? She works in an office.

     Our shoes tell other people quite a bit about us - more than most people realize. Tom Hanks, in Forest Gump said ‘Mama always said you could tell an awful lot about a person by the kind of shoes they wear.’ And his Mama was right! But this is a more accurate statement about women than it is for men. Women have shoes to wear for every situation that life may throw at them! A woman’s shoes really go a long way towards telling you who she is, what she is like, and what she does with her life.

     In the past, women envied each other over their outfits, the hairdo’s, and even their husbands! Today - the envy is in the shoes! Some women refuse to tell other women where they shop for shoes! Some women search far and wide - and pay very high prices - to find shoes that none of their friends have or can find, or to find shoes that go perfectly with an outfit - or an upcoming event! Shoe shopping and decisions today has become a sort of madness among many women! The first thing a woman notices about another woman is - you guess it - her shoes!

     Shoe designers are having to work double time to come up with fresh new designs for womens footwear in every category each year - high heels, sandals, sneakers, pumps, spikes, wedges - every type of womans shoe that you can imagine! Women want the freshest looks, and the latest designs, and they are willing to pay for them. Sometimes, however, they pay at the cost of their feet!

Designer's Look     The majority of women’s shoes were not designed for comfort or support - they were designed for looks - or maybe even for shock value. Comfort and support are usually not taken into consideration at all when high fashion is at stake. The strangest part is that women pay hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of dollars for shoes that are literally ruining their feet!

     This fact alone also says a lot about a woman. It says that the latest fashion may be more important than overall health. Some of these shoes not only hurt the feet that wear them, they often affect - and hurt - the backs of the women who wear these shoes. Originally, shoes were meant to protect the feet. Today, the designer shoes on the market do very little to protect the feet - in fact, in many cases, a woman would be better off walking bare foot - but women still buy the designs, and designers still come up with more ways to skimp on the shoes and raise the prices - the less shoe there actually is, the higher the price goes!

     Take a little time today and go open your closet door - or the closet door of the woman you love. What do the womens shoes in that closet tell you about yourself or that woman? You may even find some surprises if you are checking out someone else’s collection of shoes!

     Footwear is estimated to have started its long history of human use during the Ice Age some 5 million years ago. Unkind weather conditions are said to have created the necessity for footwear.

     Other evidences show that footwear came to use at the end of the Paleolithic Period, at about the same time the early humans learned the art of leather tanning.

Modernize Footwear      Early pieces of footwear were made of wrappings, usually made of leather or dried grasses. Later on pieces were developed from an oval piece of leather which is bound by a piece of strong leather thongs. Sandals, which are the first crafted footwear, are the successors to these wrappings.

     In Egyptian funeral chambers, paintings show the different stages in the preparation of leather and footwear. The images also show that in Egypt, footwear depicted power and class.

Modern Egyptian Sandal     The Pharaohs’ sandals were distinguished by the turned up toes, a characteristic which is missing in the commoners’ footwear. Egyptian sandals were crafted using straw, papyrus, or palm fiber.Later on, Egyptian women adorned their footwear with precious stones and jewels.

     Material evidences showed that the Greeks loved and took good care of their feet by using different footwear for different activities. Greek women began wearing sandals to signify their social class. Their footwear signified beauty, elegance, refinement, and extravagance.

     It has been said that Greek women of bad reputation attracted men by wearing elevated sandals. These sandals create a ‘clacking’ sound when the wearer moves, and this sound was considered as a symbolic flaunting of sexual charms.

Womem's Elevated Sandal    

     In Mesopotamia, leather wrappings are tied to the feet by a strip of the same material.

     Romans, on the other hand, created durable leather thongs so their legions can travel to places on foot. It is also believed that foot fetishes began with the Romans when Senator Lucius Vitellus frequently kissed the shoe of his mistress which was hidden in his tunic.

     In Rome, footwear also exhibited social class. The consuls wore white shoes, the senators wore brown shoes, and the uniform footwear for the rest of the region was a short pair of boots that uncovered the toes.

     But in all of these early civilizations, footwear indicated social status. Footwear consists of garments that are worn over the feet. They are worn mainly for protection and hygiene, but also for fashion and adornment.

     Footwear items come from a wide range of materials including leather, rubber, canvass, wood, and plastic. But early pieces were made from available materials like straw, leather, cowhide, and grasses.

     When footwear is assembled, the main components are adhesives, cushion, counterfort, heel, hook, insole, laces, sole, steel shank, tack, toe puff, tread, and welt. Generally, footwear is classified into: boots, industrial footwear, shoes, and sandals.

     Boots are available as cowboy boots, galoshes, ski boots, thigh length boots, and so on. Industrial footwear includes plastic boots and rubber loafers which are used in laboratories, construction sites, and production lines.

     Shoes include athletic shoes (or running shoes), climbing shoes, clogs, high heels, mary janes, moccasins, mules, loafers, tap shoes, and cross-training shoes. Sandals, on the other hand, include espadrilles, flip-flops or thongs, slide-ons, and slippers.

     Footwear is considered an extension of one’s personality. Well-maintained footwear says things about the owner, with cleanliness as the most important concern. Although the intricacy of this craft may have been lost to modernization, their influences are still present in shoes today.

     The moccasins worn in early times by people in cold countries are still being worn there, while the sandal patterned after the Egyptians’ creation is still frequently used in hotter countries.

Wearing Rubber Sole Footwear     As you go about your daily activities, your feet usually take the brunt of the work. While you’re standing, sitting or walking, the weight of your body lands on your feet ?which is why it is a must for you to invest in a pair of sensible shoes.

For women, it is especially important to have comfortable footwear when you’re just lounging around so that your feet will be given a break from wearing torturous high-heeled shoes.

But what is it exactly which makes a pair of shoes last longer? Is a particular material more comfortable for your feet as compared to another material? And if you’re walking around in a wet surface, what material should the soles of your shoes have? Read on to find out.

Rubber Sole versus Leather Sole

Rubber Sole versus Leather Sole

     Shoe manufacturers actually use a variety of materials for the soles of the footwear that they make. Here, let us focus on two of the most popular materials: leather and rubber sole.

      Perhaps the primary advantage of wearing leather-soled shoes is that they are more comfortable when worn indoors or outdoors in the summer. Some individuals prefer the ’sound’ that leather soles and heels make when walking indoors. Additionally, leather soles and leather footwear in general allow your feet to breathe so it feels a bit cooler than its rubber counterpart.

      But a pair of shoes with rubber soles does have its advantages, too. When you’re walking on a wet pavement or on snow-covered streets, you should definitely wear shoes with rubber soles. It offers better traction on wet surfaces so the chances of you slipping are minimized. It’s also a practical and economical choice for footwear.

Types of Rubber Sole

      Remember that not all rubber soles are created equal. Depending on the brand and type of shoes that you are wearing, there are several types of rubber soles which include the following:

1. Resin Rubber

This type of sole is hard-wearing and waterproof. However, it tends to feel a bit hard when you’re walking on hard surface.

2. Crepe Rubber

This is probably one of the most versatile types of sole. Crepe rubber is light, flexible and hard-wearing. When its newness fades, make sure that they’re not too slippery to wear on wet surfaces.

3. Gristle Rubber

This is the type of sole which are mostly used in industrial footwear because of its robust quality.

4. PVC

Like most gears made from PVC material, this type of sole is flexible and cheap ?but can be slippery and cracks occasionally.

5. Ployurethane

This light yet hard-wearing sole is a type of rubber which offers a good resistance to slipping.
