Good all purpose shoe, also suitable for cricket

Advantages: Comfortable, well made, reasonable price
Disadvantages: not a lot of toe protection

...I have starting playing indoor cricket, and have been playing on polished wooden surfaces, where grip has been important, especially when bowling. I found the Adidas Uproar to be very comfortable, although not specifically designed for cricket, although taking one on the foot from an indoor ball still hurts. For bowling I found grip very good, essential if you want to avoid turning your ankle over when bowling, even though these are a low cut trainer. The bottom of the shoe has a non-marking indoor sole, and good traction. A cross trainer cut would be a plus, although these shoes were good value and being well made will undoubtedly last for a long time....

Review of Adidas Uproar Indoor Shoes

Prince Indoor NFS II Squash Shoe

Advantages: Comfortable, Durable, Fashionable, Protective
Disadvantages: Fairly Expensive

...Playing squash 4 or 5 times a week every week of the year necessitates the purchase of a comfortable and durable squash shoe. I have recently purchased my third successive pair of Prince Indoor NFS II Squash Shoes. They are not the most expensive shoe on the market by any means but I think they provide the best value for money. On average, I find each pair lasts me for a year, which considering the wear and tear that they have to undergo is pretty good. There are not many on-line sites which sell squash shoes, and for those that do there is fierce and competitive pricing. My most recent pair were purchased over the internet and cost me £29.99 + postage and packing. This year a fashionable 'blue' colour has been added to the range, previously, only black and white were available. As well as the above factors, the other...

Review of Squash Shoes

Fantastic indoor football shoes!

Advantages: You'll feel free, light and comfortable!
Disadvantages: none!

...Adidas Top Sala V are the most amazing indoor football shoes I have ever used. With the Sala series Adidas tried to end the uncomfortable, hard material and feet aching so far used shoes. And they did it! Indoor football doesn't have to be played by though rubber snickers anymore, because with Top Sala V, you get the same ball control and grip and you still feel as if you were running with soft clouds under your feet! Indeed the "Top Sala V" has a magnificent "air system" underneath that gives that sense of comfort even in the hardest floor. Running is easy (you'll feel like flying!)and the ball control, I believe always gain with the ease that the shoes suit you! This is the case! They also have reinforcement in front, with a tiny rubber layer that allows you to kick with the point of the shoes. I'm particularly sensitive...

Review of Adidas Top Sala V

Scone Shoes

Advantages: comfortable, better fitting shoes at reasonable prices
Disadvantages: limited range, most of them are quite ugly

...First let me explain ?scone shoes.? When I first ordered shoes from the Shoe Tailor, experts in wider-fitting shoes, I measured my feet incorrectly and found that the only shoes in their catalogue that would fit me were their widest, ugliest, most orthopaedic, brown, granny shoes: the type you might wear to go out with your friends for a scone, in your later years. Hence my friends groaningly called them my ?scone shoes? and walked several yards behind me on the way to the pub every night. They were very comfy! However, they fell apart after a couple of years of continuous wear, and once gone, same said friends took me shopping to some ?proper? shoe shops in Glasgow and I never once consulted my Shoe Tailor catalogue again. That was about eight years ago, and although I?m not exactly old and doddery yet, I am finding shoes to be...

Review of The Shoe Tailor

Dancing shoes on

Advantages: well thought out characters and a nice story
Disadvantages: likely to make you cry

...I first read Ballet Shoes when I was eight. It was the first of Noel Streatfield's books I'd read, and it remains my favourite. I put it away during my teenage years and forgot about it until Christmas 2007 when I watched the BBC adaptation with Emma Watson. I went to Indonesia and got the film on knock-off DVD, and immediately after watching I rang home to get my parents to order me a copy. It was a great welcome home. The book opens with 'Garnie' moving into a huge mansion, filled with fossils. She and her nurse (Nana) are moving in with her uncle. You don't really get any of their story until one day her uncle Matthew arrives home from a trip with a package, containing of all things... a baby! They agree to take the baby and name her Pauline. Once Pauline is a bit older, and Great Uncle Matthew (GUM) is away again, another package...

Review of Ballet Shoes - Noel Streatfeild

boots that provide impeccable performance

Advantages: very durable, strong, improves control and cheap!
Disadvantages: unsuitable for astro turf

...These trainers may not be at the top of the range in the style market, but I believe there are no others better for performance. Gone are the days where a good, strong boot was all the rage, with sleek thin boots seeming to provide a more attractive acquisition nowadays. However, in my opinion, Adidas Samba trainers are the best available if you want to sustain and improve performance whilst playing with your mates or indeed, competitively. QUALITY In my experience, these boots are long-lasting, reliable and provide much-needed protection for the foot, unlilke the many 'slipper-style' boots warn. I have had mine for around 3 years and they are still in very good working order and have been used very regularly for sports such as indoor football, squash, badminton. I have also used them for outdoor sports, in football, tennis and running...

Review of Adidas Samba Indoor Football Boots

For Healthy looking indoor plants...

Advantages: It is very effective in controling pests..
Disadvantages: Can have some minor irritations if one comes into direct contact with the spray..

...ABOUT INDOOR PLANTS Houseplants are popular indoor decorations.Attractive and constantly changing, they add a softness of line and nature indoors..It adds that special something to a room... House Plants add more than beauty and personality to a room - they can actually make your home healthier!! Many, if not most of the materials used to build our homes and offices are loaded with chemicals that are known to cause a variety of health problems in people, including cancer...and house plants are known to offset these toxic effects.. The ideal location of a plant for decoration may not be the ideal spot for plant growth. Lack of adequate light is the most common factor limiting the growth of plants in many areas of ones home. Improper watering is another major cause of most house plant problems.Both under and over watering can...

Review of Baby Bio Indoor Plant Spray

Shoe in

Advantages: Comfortable
Disadvantages: Big, ugly, flamboyantly coloured

...As some of you may already be aware, the way to my heart is with handbags and shoes. Large cash deposits are also much appreciated but don?t come along all that often. As far as shoes are concerned, I like pretty shoes, generally with sparkly bits and, ideally, bows. However, for the past couple of weeks I?ve been limping in the manner of a geriatric who has recently had a hip replaced. This could be due to the fact that I attempted to kick a 6 ton boat off a rock (that some other incompetent had wedged it on, I hasten to add) or it could be down to years of wearing shoes that are too tight, too cramped, too high, or just weighed down with too many bows. It had got to the stage that I was limping so badly that my knee had become quite sore as a result of walking awkwardly on my left foot, and I really thought that ropes and some...

Review of Purina Go-Cat for Indoor Cats

Green Wellie Shoes

Advantages: Dry feet
Disadvantages: None I have found yet

...We have all heard of the drought conditions that have been experienced in England recently. Unfortunately, although my part of the country is reputed to be "drier than Egypt", this isn't apparent in my garden. Following weeks of rain, the old shoes I had been using outside, finally gave up the ghost and fell apart. My feet were just as wet as they would have been had I been outside with bare feet! This WAS an option - but having seen some of the wildlife that wanders around the garden, NOT something that I chose to do. During a trip to the garden centre I happened to notice some garden shoes - in fact, just like a Wellington shoe. I have to say this as I can think of no better way to describe them. They are made by a company called Willowdale Products and there is quite a selection to choose from ranging from the usual...
