The aim of this guide is to help parents make an informed decision about the type of children’s shoes they purchase for their children and how it affects their foot development. Putting on the right size now, can prevent a lot of problems later in life, so here are some facts to guide you.
FACT #1: Did you know that children’s feet keep growing till they are about 18?
For this reason it is advisable that they wear well fitted footwear, their feet should be checked and measured every three to four months and footwear replaced as soon as it has been outgrown. Most feet problems that adults encounter are due to a lack of proper feet care when they were younger. Put quality footwear on your children’s feet and they will thank you for it in the future.
FACT #2: Why does my child’s shoe not last long enough?
There is a common myth that shoes are meant to last a long while with children. The truth however is that in children, the average life of a pair of shoes is 4 months depending on the quality of the shoes. So you are getting exceptional value for money when you buy a pair of shoes that lasts 6 months? Often overlooked by parents is that active children impose enormous abuse on shoes. The average active child will take about 20000 steps a day covering a distance of nearly eight miles, especially School shoes. These are not ordinary walking steps as taken by an adult, but stomping, running, jumping, skidding, twisting, scuffing, kicking steps that severely punish the shoes. Also these shoes are exposed to gravel, rocks, pavement, chemicals, grime, water and soil. If the shoes give three months of satisfactory wear under those grueling conditions, the child would have covered a distance of about 700 miles. If the shoes are priced at say £35, that averages out to a little over 4p a mile - certainly the cheapest transportation that can be purchased. New shoes should be purchased not primarily on the basis of being outworn but on being outgrown.
FACT #3: Are Hand-me-downs to be avoided at all cost?
This is a controversial matter. However, when a parent is confronted with a budget problem - and sometimes a choice of hand-me-downs or no shoes at all - you have to deal not with what’s best but with what’s realistically practical. In the case of infants’ shoes the problem of hand me downs to next youngest child is not that serious. Usually these shoes have only been worn for a short period. The small child has usually made little “imprint” inside the shoe, nor has it otherwise put the shoe out of shape. Thus, when economic conditions leave no choice, the hand-me-down shoe is not going to be a serious problem. To be on the safe side always have it inspected by a specialist shoe fitter. School shoes are best avoided as hand-me-downs as they tend to take the most stress of all the shoes children wear.
FACT #4: Do you know that one of your feet might be bigger than the other?
Yes this is true, and that is why it is advisable to have both feet measured when buying a new pair of shoes for your self or your children. Also, a size 10 in Clarks is not the same as a size 10 in Ravel. It is only used a standard guide, however the materials and the shape of the shoe last (model on which the shoe is constructed) determines the final fit of the shoe, that is why some of us can wear 2 or more sizes of shoes, and all will be comfortable.
FACT #5: Are high heel shoes suitable for children?
Provided that it is not used as everyday footwear, it is not advisable for children to wear high heels everyday. You might ask why? Since children’s feet are not fully developed until mid twenties. In high heels the weight and stress on the feet shift forward, and bearing in mind that the feet are not fully developed at this stage it could lead to permanent damage because the feet are unable at this stage to fully bear the added weight and stress placed on it.
FACT #6: Are expensive designer shoes necessarily the best?
The answer is no, but that is not to say some designer shoes are not well made. However, one can make a mistake by choosing a well made design that does not fit the feet of your child properly. So make sure the shape of the shoes you select for your children are similar to the shape of the child’s feet. Remember shoes made from natural materials are the best for children’s feet.
FACT #7: Outgrown shoes, how problematic could they be?
Many parents and shoe retailers fail to recognize how serious the outgrown shoe problem really is. Several years ago a survey was conducted in the United States among stores that sell children’s shoes. They were asked to test the fit of old or worn shoes of children in the store to buy new shoes. It was found that over 75% of the cases were outgrown to varying degrees. Furthermore, it was estimated by the fitters that over half of the children had been wearing outgrown shoes from one to three months, even though the shoe was of proper size when fitted. From experience a lot of children fitted are just changing shoes that have been long outgrown. It is no wonder that many doctors and chiropodists believe that many or most adult foot problems begin in childhood and that many of these problems are caused directly or indirectly by habitual wearing of outgrown shoes during substantial periods in childhood. It is therefore important that parents check their children’s shoes from time to time to make sure that they are not outgrown and cause damage to their feet later in their adult life.
FACT #8: How do I care for wet or damp shoes?
It is not uncommon to quick dry the shoes over a hot radiator or in a tumble dryer, especially if it is the child’s only pair and has to be worn the next day. This should be avoided, since quick drying causes the toe to curl up and the shoe and leather to shrink. This can reduce the shoe by one full size when the shoe is put on again, it can also damage the leather fibers and sometimes crack the leather. Shoes should always be dried at room temperature, and possibly with shoe trees inserted during the drying to prevent curling or shrinkage.

Besides bags and purses, shoes are items that women cannot have enough of. In fact, a woman cannot have too many pairs of shoes. Some even have a pair in each color for every outfit. Others who can afford to spend so much have a specific pair for every outfit that they have. Celebrities even have one for every outfit that they have worn on the red carpet of awards nights and premieres.
But for people who can only afford to purchase a couple of pairs that they will be wearing for most of the outfits in their closets, they will have to choose pairs that are versatile and at the same time stylish enough not to be considered out of mode.
Below are some tips in choosing shoes that look like designer shoes but have no designer prices.
Choose leather
Although buying real leather can be more expensive than buying synthetic leather, the cost will be much cheaper in the long run because leather is more long lasting. You can actually use a pair of leather shoes for a long long time. Just make sure that you store them properly, in areas where it will not be moistened as real leather can become home to molds.
Choose the classic
You don’t have to buy Ferragamo or Jimmy Choo to look good. There are designs that will look just as expensive without being really costly. Because you cannot really buy every design in the store, just choose classic designs that will fit your wardrobe.
Choose the fit
Designer shoes may look designer on the shelves but when you wear them, the shoes are not as great looking anymore. There are pairs like these. This does not mean that the design is not beautiful, the cut and the style just does not fit the structure and form of your feet.
Remember that like body types and face shapes, there are cuts and styles that will fit your feet. Choose the design that does not only look classy but also the one that will make your feet look like a million bucks.
Choose the material
Shoes need not be designer especially when you are going to wear them in rough streets and pavements. Remember that designer shoes may have delicate designs such as glass heels and bead works that may not withstand a walk downtown. When buying shoes, make sure that the material and the kind of design will fit your lifestyle and work.

Material the Motorcycle Jacket is Made From

When pondering the purchase of motorcycle leathers, there are several issues that one must consider. While one would think that style would be first and foremost, in actuality, it is the protection that a good set of motorcycle leathers affords the skin that is of the utmost priority for any serious biker. Leather has over the years been proven to be the best material for motorcycle clothing, due to its resistance to tear, its natural warmth, and its acting as a first layer of defense by coming between the biker and the rough asphalt road. Leather has often literally saved the skin of many bikers.
However, all leather is not the same. In this article, I will attempt to address the choices that a biker faces when purchasing motorcycle leathers. We will explore the different types of hides available, the different tanning processes, and how to tell the differences.
There are basically three hides that you will run across when looking for motorcycle leathers: pigskin, buffalo, and cowhide. You may at times find such hides as lamb skin, sheepskin etc. Just make a note that these hides are inferior and should not be considered riding grade leather.
Pigskin
Sometimes called soft Leather, pigskin is very thick and soft to the touch. It will keep you warm in the winter and looks very nice. There is nothing wrong with soft leather (pigskin or lambs skin) except that it has a tendency to tear, is not very durable, and is not considered riding grade leather. If you are looking for the biker look but do not ride, pigskin is the way to go! Also, for garments that are not necessarily worn for protection, (such as leather vests) pigskin and lambs skin are excellent choices due to their suppleness and pliability. There are many fine styles available in soft leather and it is the least expensive leather out there. If you ride, stay away from pigskin for protection; spend the extra money to protect yourself with some true riding grade motorcycle leathers.
Buffalo Hide
Another high quality leather, buffalo hide is not from the North American buffalo, but the water buffalo, a native of India and Pakistan. Many leather products come from this part of the world, and the Pakistanis are world renown for their expertise in the manufacturing of leather garments. Buffalo hide is also very thick (ca 1.2mm) and can be tanned in both top grain and naked leather processes. Durable and not easily torn, buffalo hide, though not as common as cowhide, is considered to be riding grade leather.
Cowhide
The most common material used for motorcycle leathers is cowhide, chosen for its strength and durability. It is anywhere from 1-1.3mm thick, depending on the tanning process, is naturally warm, and will afford the utmost protection against road rash. The ultimate in riding grade leather, cowhide is the choice of bikers everywhere.
Whichever type of hide you choose, you need to also understand the tanning process, and how it adds or detracts from the quality of the leather. Leather was once the skin of an animal, and therefore must go through a tanning process to strengthen it, and to keep it from decomposing. Tanning makes the skin stable and rot proof without sacrificing its structure and strength. The tanning process involves several stages, including the removal of the hair and the outer layer of skin, as well as the fatty part of the flesh. The hide is then stabilized by one of several methods using animal oils, alum, chrome salts or vegetable tanning. How it is actually finished determines the quality, or riding grade, for our purposes.
To fully understand choices available, one must first understand the term grain. The grain is the epidermis, or outer layer of the animal’s skin. While imperfections such as cuts, scars, and scratches will exist, the grain in its natural state has the best fiber strength, and therefore the best durability. The grain also has natural breath ability, resulting in greater comfort to the wearer.
Finished Split Leather
The middle or lower section of a hide that has been split into two or more thicknesses. A polymer coating is applied and embossed to mimic grain leather. Finished splits should only be used in low stress applications because they basically have no grain. If the polymer coating is left out it is often used to make suede. Not considered to be riding grade, but can look good nevertheless.
Top Grain Leather
Top grain leather has been sanded to remove scars and imperfections, then sprayed or pasted for a uniform look. The smooth side is where the hair and the natural grain used to be. Top grain is probably the most common material found in motorcycle leathers. It is not the best leather available, but with a medium price range, and thicknesses of 1 to 1.2mm, top grain leather is considered to be a strong and durable riding grade material.
Naked Leather
Also known as full-grain leather, this tanning process uses only the finest of hand picked hides. Full grain leather has only the hair removed and is not sanded to remove imperfections, thus the epidermis remains in tact. Naked (without embellishment) leather has nothing other than the dye added. Full grain naked leather requires no breaking in period and is soft to the touch from the very beginning. Hides are typically 1.3+mm thick, and must be hand picked for uniformity. The natural full-grain naked leather will wear better than other leather, and will actually improve over the years. This type of leather is the ultimate riding grade; the most sought after, and consequently, the most expensive.
How to Tell the Difference
Finished split will be thin. Most riding grade leather is at least 1mm thick. Top grain leather is the top of the skin and has small bumps all over where the hair follicles used to be. Top grain garments are somewhat stiff when new, and require a breaking in period. On the other hand, naked leather, or full grain leather is very smooth and does not exhibit the small bumps that are present in top grain. Nor is the garment stiff when new. Naked leather is soft to the touch from the beginning and requires no breaking in period.
Pigskin or pig napa mostly resembles naked leather, in that it is a soft and supple hide, and can also be very thick. Not to say that it happens often, but beware of unscrupulous retailers that try to pass pigskin for full grain cowhide. If its cheap, its probably pigskin. Lamb skin is also very soft and pliable, though not as thick as pigskin. Lambskin also has a smooth surface.
Things to keep in mind are that most leather garments are manufactured overseas in India, Pakistan, and China. The made in America garments are going to be the most expensive on the market, and the quality of the hide and the workmanship is not going to be that much better. Many motorcycle leathers are designed in America and made in Pakistan. As mentioned previously, Pakistan is world renown for its leather expertise, and you should be able to trust their labeling. Pakistan exports both buffalo hide and cowhide garments. Leather garments manufactured in China are usually made from pigskin. This is not to say that it’s always the case, but you should be able to tell by price.
Remember, if you ride, don’t skimp on the motorcycle leathers, they could someday save your hide!

The sheepskin is also a popular type of leather jackets that are also strong and are known to be able to keep the wearer warm at high or low altitude. While the horsehide is the jacket to go if you prefer some rugged durability. It weighs a little heavier than goatskin but it’s also good to go as a jacket you can wear anytime.
There are many types of leather. Some are known to be strong and tough, others are flexible, others are soft. By knowing which leather is which, it will be easier for you to know which leather to look for when shopping for motorcycle jackets or any other type of clothing.
