It seems that every few months your children need new shoes and you may try to stretch your budget by fixing their current shoes or by giving them a pair a big sister or brother has discarded.  Unfortunately, either solution may not be good for the feet of the child who needs a shoe fix.  Some health issues caused by improperly fitted, worn out or hand me down shoes include plantar fasciitis, Morton’s neuroma, excessive sweating, hammertoes, corns, bunions and blisters.

Feet are critical to the overall health of the human body.  Your children have 26 bones in their feet with almost half of them located in the toes.  In addition to bones they have 19 muscles, 107 ligaments and 33 joints making their feet incredibly complex.  As an adult you know from experience what problems foot pain or injuries can cause in your day-to-day life and this is even more frustrating for a child.

One way you can reduce or eliminate the possibility of problems with your children’s feet is by inspecting their feet and shoes frequently.  A foot inspection will alert you to problems your child has not yet found painful, and a shoe inspection will help you decide whether or not you want to repair or replace them.  Following is a suggested checklist of issues to be considered.

Let’s start with the foot inspection:

1.  What is the size of the feet being inspected?  Most people have one foot larger than the rest.  If you are not sure of the size take your child to a shoe store to be sized properly.

2.  Are there any obvious defects such as blisters, fissures, bunions, corns or spots that are just plain red and irritated?

4.  Do you see any large patches of excessively dry skin?

5.  Give your child a foot massage and watch for signs of pain or cramping.

6.  Make note of any problems that necessitate a visit to your pediatrician.

Next, we’ll move on to the shoe inspection:

1.  Pay attention to the size of the shoes as compared to the current size your child wears.  It may be possible to continue wearing shoes slightly bigger than the current size but never let them wear shoes that are to small.

2.  How does the sole of the shoe look?  Was it thin to begin with or has it thinned in response to use?

3.  Is either heel loose?

4.  Ask your child to put the shoes back on and check if they have adequate toe room or places where there the shoe causes friction against their skin. 

5.  Have your child walk in the shoes so you can see their gait.

When you have finished looking at your child’s feet and shoes consider if you can repair any issues without harming the feet that wear the shoes.  If there is no toe room but the shoes otherwise fit you may be able to stretch the toe box with stretching spray and a shoe stretcher depending on the fabric of the shoes. 

If the soles of the shoe have become very flimsy or stretch easily in response to pressure then your child may develop plantar fasciitis which is a painful inflammation of the connective tissues in the arch of the foot.  If you can flex the shoes below the toe box then the shoes need to be replaced.

When the heel of your child’s shoes are too loose compared to the rest of the shoe, use a heel insert made for children.  You want to avoid having your child develop hammertoes caused by using their toes to keep the shoes from slipping off.  Calluses on the tops of the toes is a giveaway that the heels of the shoes are too lose.

If the shoes fit well but there a few spots of pressure, try using different socks.  Socks now come in a variety of thickness and weight.  Your little one may need a thicker sock to prevent pressure wear particularly if they often wear sports shoes.

If the issues with your child’s feet seem ongoing despite new and well fitting shoes, they may need an orthotic device.  Ask your pediatrician to recommend an orthopedist or podiatrist for an evaluation.  Most orthotic devices are made of plastic and help distribute body weight evenly and realign the foot.

The feet your child is born with are the feet they need to carry them throughout their life.  Paying attention to their feet can improve their overall health by eliminating leg, back and neck pain.  A child will walk the distance around the earth three or four times during their lifetime.  Don’t you want to make that journey as pain free and comfortable as possible?

Sunglasses are an Affordable Way to Add Designer Fashion to Your Wardrobe

Whether we will admit it or not, just about every woman and quite a few men would love to be able to wear designer fashions. However, the price is usually beyond what we can justify spending for one item let alone a wardrobe.

Designer sunglasses are a hot item right now and every major designer has added them to their fashion line. Pictures of celebrities sporting suglasses by such designers as Chanel, Dior, Prada, Gucci, Versace, Luis Vitton, and Marc Jacobs are everywhere.

Ray Ban sunglasses have been popular for years and are still one of the top brands. One of their top styles the Ray Ban Aviator Sunglasses. Oakley sunglasses are another brand that have been around for a while and sought after today. Ray Ban and Oakley are very popular among men’s sunglasses.

Designer sunglasses are not cheap, but compared to clothing, shoes, and handbags, sunglasses are relatively inexpensive and can add a dramatic designer update to your everyday wardrobe. Finding discount designer sunglasses online is pretty easy, but you need to know what you want, and how to make sure they are authentic.

Things to Know Before You Buy

You may not be planning to wear your designer sunglasses while playing tennis or skiing down a slope, but there are things you should consider before you invest you money.

Designer sunglasses don’t demand the high price tags on the brand name only. They use only high quality materials for their frames, lens, and hardware unlike their cheaper counterparts. They are made to last for years and usually come with a guarantee.

Nylon or composite frames are stronger and will hold up better than plastic. Some frames have a wire core that makes them easy to adjust for comfort. As with sunglasses frames, glass lens have clearer vision and are more resistant to scratches than plastic.

Choose the Best Sunglasses for Your Face Shape

Oval Face Shape – If you have an oval face, you can wear just about any shape sunglasses as long as the size of the frame is appropriate for the size of your face.

Round Face Shape – To counter the roundness of the face, select angular frames such as straight lines, square, triangular. Dark colors such as black or tortoise shell also help to play down the roundness of the face.

Square Face Shape – Curved or rounded sunglasses compliment a square face best. They should fit high on the face to downplay the jawline.

Oblong Face Shape – An oblong face is similar to square in that it is just about the same width from top to bottom with the length being much greater than the width. To counter this, a good choice would be large sunglasses to cover as much of the center of the face as possible to minimize the length.

Triangle Face Shape/Heart Face Shape – A triangular or heart face shape has a broad forehead and narrow mouth and chin. Thin rimmed frames with vertical lines work well to help balance the top to the bottom part of the face and should not sit too high. If you have a triangular face shape try to avoid large frames, heavy nose bridges, bold colors and square shapes. Aviator sunglasses work well with either the triangle or heart face shape.

Diamond Face Shape – With a narrow forehead and chin and broad cheek bones, rimless sunglasses look best on a diamond shape face. To soften the angular shape, sunglasses that have an oval or slightly curved square shape work best.

Large Nose – If you have a large nose, choose a large frame for your sunglasses. Small frames will accentuate the size of the nose while large frames will make it look smaller.

Long Nose – Sunglasses that have frames that are high on the sides drawing attention upward will draw attention away from a long nose. A double nose bridge will also help to make a long nose appear shorter.

Small Nose – A good choice for sunglasses when the nose is small is a light color frame with a high bridge.

Before buying sunglasses, make sure you try them on and wear them for a while to be sure they are comfortable. Since you can’t try sunglasses on before buying online, find the pair you want in a store first?

It goes without saying that the lens should offer 100 % UV protection for your eyes. You may want to also consider a polarized lens to help prevent glare.

If you want your shoes to match your dress, dyeable shoes are one option. Dyeable shoes are made of fabric that can be dyed after the shoes are made. That fabric is usually satin or crepe that has been treated so that it accepts dye more easily. If you are planning on wearing dyeable shoes for your wedding or special event, though, there are some things you should know. Here are some suggestions to help you choose and buy dyeable shoes.

Choose the right fabric to get the right color for your dyeable shoes.

Colors look different on different kinds of fabric. Since it is very unlikely that your shoes will be made of the exact same fabric as your dress, even the best dyer will not be able to make an exact match for the color of your dress. However, choosing the right kind of fabric for your shoes can make it far easier to match your color more closely. If your dress is made from satin or another shiny fabric, choose satin shoes, which will have the same reflective quality as the color of the dress. If your dress is made from a matte fabric, choose shoes made from crepe or another non-shiny fabric. That will ensure that your shoes absorb more light than they reflect, resulting in a color that is closer to the color of your dress.

Order your shoes early if you plan to have them dyed



It can take between 8-14 days to get your shoes back from a dyer, so be sure that you order or buy them well in advance of your big date. If you are buying your shoes online, take shipping time into account and be sure to build in time for a return if the shoes do not fit properly. Since you will want to have your shoes ready to wear for the final fittings on your dress, you should have them ordered at least three months before the special day.

Bring a swatch of dress fabric

Be sure to take a swatch of the exact dress fabric with you when you bring your shoes to be dyed so that your shoe dyer has a good sized sample for comparison. Don’t rely on memory to help you choose the right color for your shoes. Ask your dressmaker for a fabric swatch that you can take with you to a shoe shop when having your shoes dyed to match your gown.

Remember that colors look different in different light



Make sure that you check the shoe color match under the right light. Natural and artificial light have completely different effects on color. This might not matter in some things, but if you are trying to get an exact match in color for your shoes, you will want to see the color of your shoes and dress under the same kind of light that you will be wearing them under. In other words, if your wedding will be held outdoors, make sure that you see your shoes and dress in natural outdoor lighting. If it will be indoors, check the color out under the same kind of lights as the lights at your wedding venue.

Minimize slight color differenced between shoes and dress by picking the right style of shoe.

Choose shoes with embellishments or with little fabric to dye in order to minimize the impact of any color differences between your dress and your shoes. Color differences will be far less obvious if you choose a high heeled strappy sandal with rhinestone trim than they would be if you were wearing pumps or slides with far more colored surface area.

Be sure to apply a waterproofing coating to your shoes before wearing them



Dyed shoes are not weatherproof. They may run or stain if the weather does not cooperate. To reduce the chance that your shoes will run if it rains, apply a coat of water repellant, but don’t expect them to be completely waterproof. If your shoes get wet, reapply the water repellant.

If you are dyeing shoes, choose a shoe that is ecru or “bridal white” for dyeing



Bright white shoes have a blue undertone that can add a hint of blue to your dyed color, turning gold to green under some lights. Many shoe manufacturers combat this by making dyeable shoes in a warmer white that takes dye more truly. If you can’t get the right white, there are products on the market that will tone down the white before dyeing.

Choose factory-dyed shoes that are matched to your dress color



If you order your dress and shoes from the same bridal salon, you may get a match that is as close to an exact color match as humanly possible. That’s because the color dyes are created to match colors that are being used in the bridal and prom fashion industry that season. It’s an easy way to get shoes that match your dress without going through the hassle of having them dyed yourself.

You’ve donned your Christian Lacroix designer suit, your Jimmy Choo designer sling back shoes and grabbed your Prada designer handbag. You’re doing lunch with your friend at the trendy Nobu restaurant where you intend to have the four calorie designer salad consisting of two olives, an iceberg lettuce leaf and half a tomato.

Of course, spring will be here soon and it just won’t do to be seen in last season’s white skin so after lunch a trip to the sun beds to top up with that orange tint you think suits you so well is essential.

Now picture a totally different scenario.

You open your wardrobe and can’t tell which outfit is Dolce and Gabbana and which is Top Shop. Feeling around for your shoes, are those Manolo Blahnik or Tesco gardening shoes? You think you’ve got it all together when you search for your handbag but are unable to tell the difference between Gucci and Dorothy Perkins. White sticks do not come in designer styles but does it really matter now?

After being driven to the restaurant, you have to put all your faith into the kitchen staff when you order your calorie quota in the form of egg white omelette and low fat water and trust they don’t give you the full fat version.

To avert the above disaster, looking after the health of your eyes is an absolute must. By all means, wear the designer clothes and kit yourself out with designer accessories. However, be sure not to overlook the designer sunglasses. Make sure they block at least 99% of UV rays and you could avoid the above state of affairs.

As well as wearing designer sunglasses, ditch the ridiculous faddy diets and eat a healthy, balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals if you want to avoid the damage the sun can do to your eyes and save your sight.

By all means enjoy the sun, we need the vitamins we absorb from the rays, but always use protection. Sit in the sun, wearing your designer sunglasses and eat fruit and vegetables to your heart’s content. Nobody ever became obese through eating too many fruit and vegetables.

In fact, eat a diet rich in yellow and orange fruit and vegetables, along with green leafy vegetables to include lettuce (not the iceberg variety), carrots, mango, spinach, peppers, oranges, broccoli and any others that take your fancy and you can reduce your risk of developing age-related macular degeneration later in life.

Nuts, seeds and dairy products are also sight savers. It is the Lutein and Zeaxanthin in these foods that will help you in the fight against blindness. It’s all very well seeing celebrities in the press, stepping out of clubs in the middle of the night, with their micro bodies and huge designer sunglasses but do they know what they are doing?

Wearing sunglasses at night makes you a fashion victim, not a trend setter. It makes you look silly, as does a woman having the body of a twelve year old boy. These celebrities are doing untold damage to their bodies and the health of their eyes by their extreme diets and unhealthy practices.

So, continue to enjoy your top level fashions, enjoy your designer restaurants but make sure you enjoy your food, eat enough to fill you up and above all, enjoy your designer sunglasses.

In Spain when men propose marriage to women and receive affirmation, they present them with traditional engagement rings – and then their fiancées often return the honor by presenting their men with men’s diamond watches. They are a type of designer-luxury item that one would not give every day, but for that once-in-a-lifetime gift that is more than just a bauble, diamond watches are ideal.

Watch History

Clocks and timepieces have been around almost as long as human history, but mechanical clocks are a fairly recent innovation, having come into existence only about 700 years ago. The closest thing to the modern mens diamond watch was a primitive device invented in Europe during the 1400s; the first watches were miniature versions of the same device, worn around the neck. As these shrank in size over the next two centuries, they eventually became the traditional pocket watch – an anachronism that many men still use.

The Ladies’ Diamond Watch

The first true wristwatches really were diamond watches. These were small timepieces integrated into actual diamond jewelry bracelets for women who were members of European royalty. Although 19th century jeweler Paket Phillipe et Cie is generally credited with creating the first true ladies’ diamond watch for Hungarian Countess Kosewitz in 1868, there are references to such “watch bracelets” dating back as far as 1572, when the Earl of Leicester presented Queen Elizabeth I with a round watch, inlaid with diamonds, which was suspended from a wristband. Most historians consider this to be the first ladies’ diamond watch.

The Mens’ Diamond Watch

Wrist watches were considered effeminate until around 1900; virtually all mens’ watches were pocket watches. The invention of heavier-than-air, motorized aircraft in 1903 changed all of that. The year following, French-Brazilian aviation pioneer Alberto Dumont-Santos found that he needed a timepiece that he could look at without removing his hands from the controls. The result was the first wristwatch for men; these convenient instruments soon superseded wrist watches in terms of popularity.

Diamond Watches Today

Since that time, three companies – one French, one Japanese and one Swiss – are best known for incorporating fine timepieces into diamond jewelry. Those three are Cartier, Citizens, and Movado. The latter company has been making watches for men since the early part of the last century; today, there are nearly 200 different models of mens’ and ladies’ diamond watches to choose from, many of which are among the finest diamond watches available on the market today.

Tennis shoes are now used extensively in other sports such as basketball, jumping and running even though it was originally designed for Tennis. A bit more expensive than normal shoes, tennis shoes require extensive care to last for longer. Here are a few handy tips on how to take care of your tennis shoes.

Clean is keen:

When it comes to tennis shoes, clean is keen-should be the motto. Try your best to keep your tennis shoes from getting dirty. Regular cleaning is a must, weekly washing and thorough drying will help to keep your tennis shoes clean.

Be careful with the fabric:

Watch out for the material of your tennis shoes while cleaning. Tennis shoes made of synthetics are all right for washing. It`s important clean your tennis shoes immediately after getting them dirty, because the strain might be difficult to let go if they stay for longer period and get dried. Tennis shoes of canvas material are easier to clean, just rinse them well with warm water and let them dry properly.

Deodorize your tennis shoes:

Keeping your tennis shoes from smelling bad can be an arduous task. However, there are tips which help your tennis shoes from smelling bad. It`s a good and inexpensive way to dry the smelly tennis shoes in the sun as that will reduce the stink smell to a large extent. You can sprinkle baking soda into the tennis shoes as that will absorb the moisture and helps preventing the smell. Rubbing alcohol spray onto the tennis shoes is a very effective way to prevent the bad smell. However, as they say prevention is better than cure; similarly regular spraying of anti-fungal foot spray into your tennis shoes prevents them becoming smelly.

Tips to wash in washing machine:

Washing your tennis shoes in washing machine helps in letting go of the horrible smell. However, some points ought to be considered while washing your favourite shoes in washing machine. Always opt for warm water for washing.

Tennis shoes of quality brands won`t suffer any damage from this washing, but it`s a good idea wash mid standard shoes along with regular white load as the soft material of towels etc. will provide a sort of cushion to the shoes as they tumble. Before washing, make sure to remove the laces and insoles out of your tennis shoes to prevent them from tangling up in the agitator. After washing, put them out in the sun to dry. This is an inexpensive method to get all new looking tennis shoes.

Benefits of using shoe cleaner:

For the longevity of your tennis shoes, it`s a good idea to use shoe cleaner such as Sport Shoe Stuff Scrub-Off Heavy Duty Cleaner. Some washing liquid and liquid bleach can also be used for giving your tennis shoes a shiny look.

Drying plays an important role:

After washing your tennis shoes, it`s good to dry it in the sun. However, I recommend drying them in a well-ventilated area at room temperature. Dry your wet tennis shoes with a white towel. For next phase of drying, stuff the tennis shoes with white porous paper (don`t go for newspaper as it can bleed ink) or a quick dry towel, but before that make sure to remove the shoe pad, sock-liner or orthotics from your tennis shoes. Replacing the paper towels in regular interval will help letting go of the extra water if any.

Storage of tennis shoes:

Storage of your tennis shoe is also very important as cleaning them. Always keep your tennis shoes in a dry, cool place. Wooden or plastic shoe shapers are ideal to keep tennis shoes.

Follow the above mentioned tips to preserve your expensive tennis shoes for a longer period.

“Nothing short of perfection” is the term often heard about Renato Watches’ exquisite timepieces. Renato produces the ideal timepiece based on both quality and value, which has people across the globe asking, “Why opt for anything else?” Go ahead-Embrace the Beast Within You.

By Valentina Zuric

Their watches are conspicuous, their styles exclusive and chic. Renato Watches are a true expression of one’s personality, depicting the proper quintessence of what watch collecting is all about. And this says nothing about how unbelievable they look on the wrist!

When Renato co-founder Ovadia Levy, a watch collector and guru flourishing in the real estate business, teamed up with Daniel Mink, the overnight success of the combination led to a masterful company rooted in landmark design. The pair wanted to create an innovative and alluring look at time by breaking away from the regular watchmaker’s path to successful pieces. Levy explains, “We stunned the market” with the unleashing of the ‘Beast’-the company’s first timepiece-in October 2005. This original creation put Renato Watches on the map worldwide.

The awe-inspiring design challenged numerous brands around the world to answer the call of true watch collectors-the call for something different. With collections priced anywhere from $750-30,000, Renato Watches has sold tens of thousands of units to date. “There is too much demand for our watches,” explains Mink. “We can’t keep up, because not only are they hand made, they are hand assembled too.” In addition, each watch is individually numbered and limited in production.

Although top department stores are begging to carry the line, Renato Watches are sold exclusively with ShopNBC where they hold the rank of the second best-selling brand. This is because Renato Watches are crafted from only high-grade materials and utilize the highest quality Swiss movements. With components like customized slanted bezels imported from France, sapphire dome-shaped crystals, hand-selected mother of pearl carbon fiber and satin dials, and VS clarity and G color diamonds, these watches are exotic and incomparable when based on eminence and merit.

Not only does Renato boast similar movements as the pricier watch companies, they do so with a lower cost. Thanks in part to their excellent quality, Renato is able to keep overhead low, especially when it comes to advertising costs. It is simply unneeded-the watches speak for themselves, and the price savings are transferred to the customer. “Our goal is to keep the price of the watch down so people that love watches can purchase many-they don’t have to save or wait for their end of the year bonus to be able to afford such exquisite timepieces,” says Levy.

With the success of the company growing from what began with the men’s watch the ‘Beast,’ (which is complimented by the ladies’ ‘Beauty,’ a watch not only worn by Oprah herself but also endorsed in the highly selective “O List”), they recently launched the ‘T-Rex,’ ‘Wilde-Beast,’ ‘Cyclops,’ ‘Stallion,’ ‘Jackal,’ and ‘Vulcan.’ Along with the custom packaging, intricate details, and a solid five year warranty backed by a staff ready to care for each and every individual’s needs, Renato Watches are in demand, and radiantly beautiful too.
