I really love these Vans Authentic shoes I bought. =]
But are they considered slip-ons? And are they okay for P.E? I can tie the shoelaces in a bow, so they won’t fly off during any P.E activity. It says here for my P.E handbook:
Laced athletic shoes are necessary for Physical Education and must be tied properly and snug, so shoes will not come off during an activity. (NO SLIP-ONS!)
Now I know they’re not real athletic shoes, just to clarify. I’ve never done any real physical or strenuous activity in them. I’d been wearing Converse for at least three years with no problems, but starting back in about March or April, I began to have mild pain on my two big toes, particularly around the cuticles.
I didn’t think much of it until around late May, when the pain was beginning to escalate to the point that it was painful to even crouch or bend my toes at all. The nail bed was also discolored, and the skin around my cuticles looked bruised. I finally told my mother at this point, and we went to go see a specialist. He told me that it was from the shoes themselves, and that he had seen a boy a few weeks earlier who had actually BROKEN his toes from them, and was soon going into extensive reconstructive surgery.
Now, in September, they still have not healed, and I have been stricken to open-toed shoes for months, which I absolutely hate. It’s still mildly painful to bend them, and especially to wear any shoe that bends directly over the cuticle, as most seem to do. The discoloration is worse, as both of the nails are slowly falling off and regrowing. This entire process has caused me so much discomfort and stress, and especially being the first time I’ve ever had something more seriously wrong with me, has made me severely alter my lifestyle.
I would like to know if anyone else has experienced anything similar to this, and if any type of legal action can be taken for it. Thank you for your time.
Figures. Such a kind and helpful answer already…my my, thank you for the concern. If you actually read it, however, I stated that I did nothing in the shoes that would actually leave the potential for harm, or an explanation for why this happened.
I am 16, 105lbs (Don’t Judge), and on the wrestling team. I have been on the team for a number of years so I’m use to the abuse and I’m still in good shape but i have not ran all summer and I just started running on the track in wrestling. First few days were fine, but for the past week my ankles have been in pain when I run, on a scale of 1-10 maybe a 5-6. It doesn’t hurt when i walk, run up or down stairs, or jump. Only hurts when I jog or sprint. I do stretch properly, I have Puma running shoes that fit perfect, and I’ve even tried to put Dr shoal’s athletic soles in them. It hasn’t helped. I have also tried running in wrestling shoes because they have ankle supports, but due to the zero comfort factor, they don’t help either.
I did have shin splints about 2 years ago but those are long gone, and they don’t feel the same. If anyone has any other ideas, then thank you. Cause I highly doubt the coach will let me sit out for a few weeks.
I want a pair of Christian Louboutins for my 18th birthday and the ones Victoria is wearing are exactly the ones I want but I can’t find them anywhere. Does anyone know the name or description, and if or where I can get them in the UK?
I know Cameron Diaz’s shoes look exactly the same but they’re not, apparently it was a really wierd fashion mishap where they both had identical shoes but different designers.
