article: at the end of the day. During the course of a normal day, your feet expand as you walk. To make sure you find a pair of shoes that fit well any time of day, it’s best to try them on when your feet are the largest. Try stopping by the shoe store after work or school, or on the weekends, right before dinner, for instance. If you’re planning to go shoe shopping earlier in the day, try to schedule a quick run on the treadmill or another kind of cardio exercise before you go. This can have the same effect on your feet as walking around all day. When you’re trying on shoes, socks help the shoes slide onto your feet more comfortably, and they’ll protect your feet from any bacteria that might have been left in the shoe if someone else tried it on before you. If you can, try to bring along the same type of socks you’ll typically wear with the shoe to make sure they fit correctly.  For instance, if you’re trying on athletic shoes or hiking boots, you might bring thick crew socks. If you’re trying on dress shoes, you might bring thin socks or stockings. Every time you buy shoes, you should have your feet measured. That’s because over time, the size of your feet can change. Factors like weight gain and pregnancy can cause your feet to spread, leading to the need for a larger shoe size. Often, these changes are permanent. Sit on the bench and wiggle your toes around to make sure the shoes aren’t too small, but don’t stop there. Walk from one end of the store to the other, paying attention to whether the shoes slip off your heels when you walk or feel tight across your toes or the balls of your feet. The shoes should also support the arch of your foot. Move your foot around to try to tell if there are any tags, buttons, brackets, or seams that rub your foot uncomfortably. Don't worry about the number on the shoe. If it feels too small, try a size larger, even if it's bigger than what you normally wear. Also, don't just assume that you can break in the shoes. Although many shoes do become more comfortable as you wear them, that's not always the case. The shoes should cushion your feet as soon as you try them on, and then get more comfortable from there. Feet come in a lot of different shapes and sizes, and if a shoe was designed for a foot that’s a different shape than yours, it will probably never fit you comfortably. Check the materials the shoe is made of, including the top part of the shoe, called the upper, along with the sole, insole, tongue, and any eyelets or laces. Pay attention to whether the seams feel secure and all of the materials feel durable. If the shoe seems flimsy, it’s not likely to last long, and it could change the way the shoe fits if it starts to unravel. The primary purpose of your shoes is to protect your feet. If you wear a shoe with a thin, flimsy sole, and you step on something sharp like a tack or a nail, you could be seriously injured. Make sure the sole is thick enough and sturdy enough to keep anything from penetrating all the way through to your foot.  If the sole of the shoe is stitched to the upper, rather than glued, it’s a sign that the shoe is very high-quality. If you'll be spending time around a construction site or somewhere that's likely to contain a lot of sharp objects, opt for a hard-soled shoe.

article:
For tough carpet or fabric stains, mix equal parts vinegar, table salt and Borax in a large bowl until a paste forms. Apply the paste directly to the stained area. Allow the paste to sit for several minutes before wiping it up with a clean towel. Rinse the area with water. Baking soda is a mild abrasive. Combined with vinegar’s acidic properties, the duo can effectively unclog kitchen drains. Pour ½ cup (125 g) of baking soda down the drain. Follow it up with a ½ cup (120 mL) of white vinegar. The combination of the two will create fizz. Once it stops fizzing, pour warm or hot water down the drain. Immerse a sponge in white vinegar, then wring out the excess liquid. Sprinkle table salt evenly over one side of the sponge. Gently scrub brass surfaces with the mixture. Rinse the area thoroughly with clean water, then dry it with a soft towel. Use this paste on silver, pewter, copper, or brass. Combine 1 teaspoon salt with 1 cup (240 mL) of vinegar. Add ¼ cup (30 g) of flour and stir until a paste forms. Apply the paste to the metal surface and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Rinse it off with warm water and then polish the surface with a clean cloth.
