Shoes

Salt stains (from salt used to melt snow) can be removed by using vinegar. Add a teaspoon or two of vinegar in a cup of water and dab that solution onto a clean rag and gently rub it off.

If you are worried about the smell, you can buy a Ugg shampoo for $15.

To convert German shoe sizes to English shoe sizes, you can refer to a shoe size conversion chart online or in stores. Keep in mind that sizing can vary between brands, so it's best to try on shoes or refer to the specific brand's size guide when possible. Generally, you can find a conversion chart that shows the corresponding sizes for men's, women's, and children's shoes.

To get gas out of shoes, place them outside in a well-ventilated area for a few hours to allow the gas to dissipate. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes to help absorb the gas odor. If the gas smell persists, consider washing the shoes according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Sunglasses work by placing pieces of tinted plastic polymer in front of your eyes. Light at all frequencies (from Infrared, visual, and Ultraviolet) coming from the sun hits the lenses and they act as a filter absorbing certain frequencies in certain amounts and allowing others to pass through. "gray" sunglasses are neutral and thus absorb all frequencies of visual light in equal amounts where as "rose tinted" glasses absorb more of the frequenceies that make up green, blue, indigo, and violet, and allow mostly red, orange and yellow to pass through. This can distort your perception of color outside the glasses so I don't recommend any colored glasses be it pink, brown, green are anything else. It's a misconception that only polarized lenses can block Ultraviolet light however it is true that usually cheap glasses do not. Even if they say "block 100% of UV rays" you may want to ask if it blocks 100% of UVA, UVB, and UVC rays because most cheap glasses only block UVC rays which are harmless. Polarized lenses are made of special polarized plastic which can block polarized light reflections (or glare) from sources such as water or the atmosphere itself.

Shoes protect our feet from environmental hazards and provide support for walking and running. They also help to cushion our feet from impact and distribute our weight evenly. Different types of shoes are designed for specific activities to enhance performance and reduce the risk of injuries.

To stop shoes from squeaking, first try determining the cause - it could be due to friction between the insole and the shoe, moisture, or loose parts of the shoe. Solutions include adding a sprinkle of baby powder, applying WD-40 to the squeaky area, or inserting a dryer sheet to reduce friction and absorb moisture. If the squeaking persists, consider taking your shoes to a professional cobbler for further investigation.

The tip of a shoelace is called an aglet. It helps to prevent the lace from fraying and makes it easier to thread through the eyelets of the shoe.

To remove candle wax from shoes, you can place the shoes in the freezer for a couple of hours so the wax becomes brittle, making it easier to scrape off with a dull knife or your fingers. You can also use a hair dryer on a low setting to heat the wax and then wipe it off with a paper towel.

To remove salt stains from suede you will need a coarse brush and white vinegar. I found success with an electric toothbrush.

While over a sink with hot running water, I repeatedly dipped a toothbrush in vinegar and brushed my boots where needed. The steam from the hot water promotes better results. If the smell of vinegar bothers you, dilute it with an equal part of water.

After using the vinegar, I went over my boots a final time with the toothbrush using just hot water.

You will have to wait until the suede is entirely dry before deciding if the intended results were yielded. It's not uncommon to need to repeat the process once more before the stain is totally gone.

During the winter months protect your suede boots and shoes with a protective spray as often as once a week.

To clean Converse shoes, start by removing the laces and insoles. Use a mild detergent mixed with water to gently scrub the shoes using a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with water and allow them to air dry. Avoid using a washing machine or dryer as it may damage the shoes.

New shoes often have a pleasant smell due to the materials used in their construction, such as leather, rubber, or textiles, which emit a characteristic odor. Additionally, the packaging, storage, and handling of the shoes can also contribute to their fresh scent.

The average stride length for men is 0.78 m and 0.7 m for women.

An approximation to your personal walking stride is multiplying your height with 0.415 (or 0.413 for women). For example:

1.82 (your height) x 0.415 = 0.76 m

Another way of finding out is simply taking ten steps, measuring the length and dividing that by 10.

The mass of a pair of shoes can vary depending on the style, material, and size of the shoes. On average, a pair of shoes can have a mass ranging from 0.5 kg to 2 kg.

If she is wearing stilleto heels and all of her weight is concentrated on the small area of the heel, then the pressure per square inch can be very great. The elephant's weight is distributed over 4 feet and a much larger area (Elephants have huge feet).

Climbers wear rubber-soled shoes because rubber provides better traction on rock surfaces, allowing them to grip and stand firmly on small edges and footholds. The sticky rubber also enhances sensitivity and feedback, enabling climbers to feel the rock and make precise movements.

The degradation of a shoe depends on various factors such as the quality of materials, frequency of use, and type of activities it's exposed to. On average, a well-maintained shoe can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years before showing signs of significant wear and tear. Regular cleaning, storage in a dry place, and proper care can help extend the shoe's lifespan.

A shoe box covered in aluminum foil would trap the most heat as aluminum is a good conductor of heat and reflects it back into the container. Plastic wrap and wax paper are not as effective at trapping heat due to their lower thermal conductivity.

According to Fleetway Sonic Comics( Like Archie Sonic Comics, but based in Europe), Sonic obtained his shoes during a laboratory experiment that Dr. Kintobor (Dr. Robotnik before he was evil) set up. During that experiment, Dr. Kintobor gave him his trade mark high speed, light weight, hyper friction resistant running shoes. Before the test, Sonic was a regular, brown hedgehog that just had a skill for running, but once he obtained his shoes, friction no longer held him back, and he broke the sound barrier giving him his blue color. During the duration of the experiment Dr. Kintobor was working on another project with an objective of containing all of the evil in the world within the chaos emeralds. He was eating a hard boiled egg at the time, and tripped over a loose wire connecting to the emerald chamber. The evil and hard boiled egg in his hand horribly mutated him into Dr. Robotnik (Kintobor spelled backwards) This whole story is found in Fleetway's The Origin of Sonic, which can be read or watched on YouTube.

To shine a shoe, start by wiping off any dirt or dust with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of shoe polish in a circular motion with a brush or soft cloth. Buff the shoe with a clean cloth to achieve a shiny finish. Repeat the process if necessary for added shine.

No, using a sneaker with a small amount of mass may not provide an accurate representation of the friction of the sneakers. Friction can vary depending on different factors such as weight, material, and surface conditions. It would be better to conduct tests with different masses to get a more comprehensive understanding of the sneakers' friction.

The average height for a 15-year-old male is around 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm) and the average weight is around 134 pounds (61 kg). However, there can be variations based on genetics, diet, and lifestyle factors.

Yes, you can still get shocked if you touch a live wire even with rubber gloves and rubber-soled shoes. This is because electricity can still pass through the rubber if it's not thick enough or if there are any holes or tears in the material. It's important to always exercise caution around live wires.

To prevent your blue jeans from transferring dye to your white shoes, consider washing your jeans separately or with similar colors before wearing them with white shoes. You can also use a colorless fabric protectant spray on your jeans to create a barrier between the fabric and your shoes. Additionally, try to avoid getting your jeans wet or damp while wearing them with white shoes to minimize the risk of color transfer.
