Shoes: Always buy sneakers that are 1/2 a size too small for your foot. When they reach their maximum loosening point, they will fit you like a snug glove. Very comfortable, with no slack. Much better for all kinds of activities: bike riding, gym/running, bushwalking. Your foot should hurt a little for about just over a month but you will then experience a much better shoe for longer than a floppier one that was roomier when you bought it. The larger shoe will feel better but for less time. Also, many sneakers have built-in waterproof material in the shoe. Always ask. Name brand shoes do tend to be better constructed than the unknown brands - remember that these companies almost do business totally in shoes and have done for decades. They had to have been getting it right to stay in business.   myxlfidian (150)

Shortening long laces (shoelaces): Purchase some "heat shrink tubing" of appropriate size, either from your local home store, or online, to use as aglets (the ends of the laces that prevent fraying). Then you can slip small pieces of the tubing onto the laces, to the correct length, then cut off the ends of the laces and apply heat to the pieces of tubing to make them shrink.   Kevin Solway (173)
