I have encountered shoes of all types, from the abnormal themes (raccoon shoes, white rat shoes, alien shoes), you name it, it has probably been done. I have even encountered goldfish shoes and have heard of the existence of
invisible shoes that have been constructed with mirrors that reflect the immediate environment to make them appear virtually invisible. But the oddest concept I have ever encountered is that of
near-sighted shoes. In essence, the shoes themselves, are not near-sighted, but the owner of the shoes is.
First, let me diverge. There are footwear that have been referred to as
short-sighted shoes. The term has always been a mistaken reference to people who are near-sighted. The former means that you have a mental lack of discipline and that you don't look far ahead in time or space, and usually it gets you into trouble. For example, a short-sighted person who is making a poster, will not measure the size of the poster and the size of the letters, as a result he usually runs out of space. A near-sighted person cannot see the poster without wearing glasses to correct his problem. A person who is short-sighted is probably distracted when he is walking, and does not require any special shoes to accommodate his needs. He would be better off wearing a helmet and elbow pads if he is that clumsy.
Now, to the mystery of the
near-sighted shoes, or more specifically, shoes for a person who is near-sighted. To him, or her, the world is fuzzy. A classic introvert, this person has mostly been reading all his life, or has foolishly watched television from a short distance. The first example of his near-sightedness usually appears in school because he cannot read the blackboard. It is a wise teacher who recognizes the child's need and advises the parents to get glasses. Poor little Johnny then becomes four-eyed Johnny, who must always engage in sports carefully, as he will always be breaking or losing his glasses.
So how do the shoes come in? Johnny or Janey, who now wears glasses most of the time will have a tendency to trip over things. Not only are distance objects fuzzy (especially since the subject will always be finding excuses for not wearing his or her glasses), but distances will be difficult to judge. The eyes will become tired

In the case of the near-sighted child, and even the adult, the subject requires shoes that let him feel his environment, and to know that he is close to the ground. If he has thick-souled shoes, chances are he will be kicking everything, and everybody, and every cat that strays across his path. Ideally, the solution for four-eyed Johnny is a pair of moccasins and a course in survival training. Johnny would quickly become sure-footed Johnny and could sneak up on everybody or travel lightly wherever he went.
Unfortunately
Oakley Sunglasses Online Store, moccasins are not ideal for city-travel. Do not buy flat-souled shoes for our near-sighted subject. He requires the best sculptured soles that have sufficient give that he can feel the ground beneath his feet. He's going to need it. Don't worry, he'll get used to them fast. Don't be so concerned about bright colors and flashing lights, and all the other adjustments that are strictly for show or which are intended to add speed. Johnny, does not require speed -- he requires a sure-footed walk. Get the shoes on him in a shoe store and make him walk around. If he proceeds in a straight line, you know you have the correct footwear, but if he weaves from side to side, then he is balancing on his shoes -- there is too much unnecessary rubber between him and the ground. Sometimes, the effect is subtle, so be observant.
Johnny may not have as much rubber under his feet, and as a result his shoes may wear out faster than others. But his feet are still growing, and he will need new ones every year
cheap asics gel lyte shoes, in any case. Take that book away, and kick him out of the house from time to time to get him acclimatized to his environment. Later on when he has laser eye surgery or moves to contact lenses, his need for
near-sighted shoes will disappear.

It refers to the inward roll of the foot.Supenation:This is where the heel hits the ground and the foot rolls outward.In modern times such materials as foam, silicon, air or gel have been added into trainers, these have been used to create cushioning systems in modern running shoes.In the 1970's a plastic called 'ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)' was developed. This material revolutionised the construction of sports shoes. It was made up of tiny air bubbles that provide cushioning and absorbs shock. This material is injection moulded into shapes, which serve as heel supports.
Nike's Air technology, which used a gas-filled bag of air inserted in the sole of the shoe to cushion the impact of running, first appeared in 1979. The pair of sneakers was named; Tailwind and these technologically advanced air-soles had provided a good foundation for which further Nike advancements are based on. Since then, athletic shoes have become increasingly specialized and prices for various sneakers have grown in accordance to the advances in technology and its value-added features. Some shoes sold in the 1980's even included a pump valve so you could inflate or deflate the heel on your shoe as if they were bicycle tyres.In 2003 American spent on average 50 dollars (£28) on a pair of sports shoes.Companies sponsor most top athletes.
