My peeptoes are snug around the toes and upper areas of my foot but are loose at the back at the heel. It's really tough to walk with my shoe slipping off all the time. Any advice?
Shoe problem!?
either get an insole which will mean your foot is higher in the shoe and therefore the thicker part of the heel will be a tiny bit further up and fit the shoe heel better, or get one of those sticky backed foam strips that you attach to the inside of the heel. you get them all in chemists
Reply:Ahh...... Sorry shoes are made for the average but there are variation's. Go to an Outfitter for camping and Hiking, those guy's are the real pro's in putting you something great. Or a Podiatrist.
Reply:Go to any local store like walmart target Ect. and they have this special plastic pads so your shoe wont slip they really work I used to have the same problem..
Reply:A shoe stretcher, or move to wide widths. Like I'm a 7W and if I get a 7 1/2 not wide it flops ni the back and is snug in the front.
Reply:Footpetals.com, they have everything. They make many different varieties, so look for the ones that attach to the inside of the back of your heel, that is what you need to stop slipping out.
Reply:You R right. In shoes always try to get comfortable one.
Reply:You didn't mention if you wear them with hose or how high the heel is. I know a high heel worn with hose will make your foot slide forward and leave a gap in the back even if the size is correct.
I think in the Dr. Shoals area at your local Walmart or pharmacy, they sell a little pad that you can stick on the heel bed of your shoe that helps keep your foot from sliding. I wear them all the time. It really helps, even if you wear them with no hose. It's a cheap fix that will probably help a lot.
Reply:I have very skinny feet and my heels are worse! i use these grippy, soft , sticky pads that are stuck to the inside back of the shoe they are really good you can buy them from spec list shoe shops

What is the fuss over the sport of curling?
I think it is fun to glide across the ice on shoes and it does take athleticism as it takes strong abs(yes abs have other benefits then a 6 pack) to be a sweeper and you need upper body strength to push the rock. No it is as physical as hockey or skiing but it does take more then enough athletic ability to be considered a sport.
What is the fuss over the sport of curling?
I'm no fan of curling but if we take into consideration your 'criteria' for sport... how about archery, shooting, bobsleigh, skeleton, luge... all of them are Olympic sports that require a skill without an extreme physical activity... (e.g. compared to hockey an such...)
Reply:well they can slide a however-many pound object into a precise placement, I'm impressed
Reply:shut up curling is gay as hell. the people on the olympic team are like 40 while all the other athletes are below 30.
Reply:I've always liked curling, and I'm not even Canadian. The only time we get to watch in the US is Olympic times....so I tune in then!

Anyone know any random everyday words we should all know?
I'm talking about the stuff we do everyday or a certain part of us that we look at or are apart of everyday that it's like no one knows the name of. I want to learn some of them! Like, for example, I know that the little half-moon on your fingernail is called a lunula, the indent part between your upper lip nose is a philtrum, and the end of your shoe lace is called an aglet. Anyone know any more?
Anyone know any random everyday words we should all know?
Here are a few:
-- The ridges on the sides of coins are called "reeding" or "milling".
-- The ball on top of a flagpole is called the "truck".
-- The side of a hammer is a "cheek".
-- The loop on a belt that holds the loose end is called a "keeper".
-- The "glair" is the white or clear part of an egg. The word glair comes from the Latin clarus, meaning "clear".
-- "Corduroy" comes from the French "cord du roi" or "cloth of the king."

How can you get rid of big half muscles?
I ran track %26amp; cross country for year, but I have now retired my shoes. Still I have huge calfs %26amp; I dont think its atractive because it doesnt balance out with my tiny upper body. Is there anyway to get rid of these muscles? is there anything I can do?
How can you get rid of big half muscles?
If your legs are proportional there should be no prob. I happen to love chicks with nice firm legs and a nice butt. But If they look like Popeyes Forearms then you really have a problem.
Reply:Work om the above the knee muscles and have the best legs around.
Reply:well from youre picture you look great... but how to get ride of you muscle, idk
Reply:Over time, muscles that were once worked excessively, tend to lose their size and strength because of the lack of high-intensity movement. So try not to stress. You can't help it.
Personally, and as a fashion designer, legs are an important and attractive feature on a woman, and having toned muscle, implies health, just as a tan does.
Frankly - and no offense - I think you're wrong. Your legs do not look overly muscular and neither does your torso look small, nor short, in comparison. If any of these things were an issue, the blue dress in your picture wouldn't drape over your body correctly, and it would end up looking weird. Seriously, don't trip; the legs you've got are ideal. The curvature of your legs will call more attention on the curvature of your bum, making you look more symmetrical. Have you ever seen Victoria Secret's models calves on the runway? They don't want normal, mediocre legs; they want beauty and health! Which means toned muscles, good skin and a bit of color.
If you still feel like they're ginormous, try not wearing skirts that flair out too much, as they will appear to give more width to your lower body silohuette, while making your upper body look too thin.
But seriously, don't trip.

What specific clothing should I have for a below-zero winter?
I've only lived in warm climates and I'm moving to the upper midwest in a couple of months. I've heard the first winter is tough until you learn what to wear and how to wear it. I would love to get a head start with some advice from people who have more experience than I. What specific kind of coat, shoes, socks, scarf, etc. should I buy once I get there? Any other tips to stay warm?
What specific clothing should I have for a below-zero winter?
Crazyhorse is wrong about the Gore-Tex.
Gore-Tex is a great waterproof/breathable material used to make winter coats that will keep you warm by keeping you dry and by keeping the wind from carrying away body heat but it has no insulating qualities whatsoever. It's a great option for an outerlayer in wet or snowy conditions but you will have to rely on other garments for your insulation.
For insulation you have a lot of options. As a previous poster stated, stay away from cotton as it is the worst insulator especially when it is wet (and no matter how cold you may feel your body is always producing moisture). Good, wicking base layers made of wool, silk, poly-materials or any other advanced fabrics work great. A fleece layer is also very good to have especially if you can afford a windproof fleece. For outer layers, the warmest insulator, in my opinion is Down. The key to staying warm is trapping air around your body and that is how down works. Another great insulator is Primaloft One, which is a very light and warm. The benifit of Primaloft over down is it handles wet conditions better than down will, but if it's sub-zero temps you're dealing with it shouldn't be too wet. For cold toes, again avoid cotton. A good wool sock will work wonders but don't put on more than one pair. This is a common misconception. If you put on two or more pairs of socks you can actually make your feet colder as you will constrict circulation and good blood flow is a key element to staying warm. Last but not least, don't forget a good, warm hat. Most body heat is lost through your head
Reply:Stay away from cotton. Go for the synthetic stuff, nylon, acrylic and polyester.

Cabelas is more known for hunting and outdoor sports like that, but they carry a wide selection of high quality clothes for the elements. The link drops you right into women's clothing...assuming you are a woman.
I'm guessing you won't be spending much time in the cold...just walking around outside your house, to your car, to your job and the store, etc. So you really don't need to get too fancy. A good quality coat, hat, gloves (or mitts) and boots will be most important, and some sort of face covering. You might want a scarf, I never liked them personally, but my concern is skiing, which is different from your concern.
You will want to dress in layers, several high quality, thinner sets of garments, instead of one thick garment. This is good for several reasons, but for you it will be nice because your work place might be sweating hot, so you can peel of a layer or two after arrival.
Make sure the hat you get covers your ears. Some don't.
Reply:Depends on how much $ you want to spend. You'll have very cold temperatures and a lot of precipitation in the upper midwest, so I'd go with a parka that has Gore Tex, a material that helps retain heat, expel mpoisture from the inside, and repel rain and snow from the outside. You can get many parkas including Gore Tex, though it is pricey. If not then go with a high quality parka, some by Columbia are great and don't cost as much, you can get good deals on campmor.com. For shoes you'll want boots, and I'd recommend insulated ones that are also waterproof. Scaft, any will do, really. Gloves, go with insulated, or again preferably Gore Tex. Socks, you can get insulated ones, but really any will do as long as your boots are of high enough quality.
I don't live up there, but I live in the Northeast where it tends to get somewhat cold, and also go skiing all over the country quite often. Good luck in the upper midwest!
Reply:For a below-zero winter, the specific clothing you should have is extremely warm clothing such as coats, socks, scarves, hats, pants, boots, mittens, and gloves. Also, you should have some thermal, long-sleeved underwear; tops and bottoms. These items will definitely keep you warm when winter comes, and they will also prevent you from frostbite and hypothermia.
Other tips to stay warm:
1. Find warm, cozy shelter.
2. Build and sit by the fireplace.
3. Cuddle up with someone by using body heat.
4. Drink hot beverages such as Hot Cocoa, Coffee, and Tea.
5. Turn the heater on.
6. Take exotic hot showers or hot baths.
Reply:Heavy poly blends for coats, hats, scarves, gloves...and heavy socks and snow boots for the snow and ice. Dress in layers of clothes to keep warmer. Also, mittens keep you warmer than gloves.

How do you call in English that accessory with spoonlike shape that helps you put shoes on? Help, please!?
I hope I am clear what am I asking for. It is an object that you put between your heel (back of your foot) and the inside back part of the shoe when you put shoes on. It helps you to put the shoes on without having to untie the shoelaces and then tie them on again when you put the shoes on or it helps you not to have to kneel or go down all the way with you upper part of the body to put the shoes on. It is clear what the question is, but I simply cannot explain this to the Internet dictionaries and I tried the best ones with keywords such as: shoe accessory, shoe put on aid object shoe put on aid accessory etc., but to no awail. Please, help!
