Sandals

Sometimes you get to buy a good pair of shoes, sometimes there are no good shoes to buy. What should you look for when you buy shoes?

The shoe industry is the most interesting beside the textile industry. Everyone wears a shoe of some sort. We only go barefoot when we are down on the beach or walking in shallow water.

Materials for making shoes are important, eg Gore-Tex, a bullet proof material.

When do we need a good pair of shoes? When should we buy them? Why should we buy them? What sort of shoes should we buy?

If you are heavy weight like me, you can simply choose a pair of sandals to go everywhere and for all occasions. Sandals are airy and there is no perspiration locked as in tight closed shoes. The toes and soles remain dry. However, sand and dust can get underneath the toenails and make them unsightly.

Some sandals are hard and they hurt when you walk for long periods. Some sandals are soft and support your feet and legs well. Some sandals are durable and you can even play tennis in them. These are sports sandals.
