			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://sneakersandshoes.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/chocolate-high-heel.jpg"><img class="alignleft" title="Shoes" src="http://sneakersandshoes.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/chocolate-high-heel.jpg" alt="" width="258" height="198" /></a>A recent study examined the effects of foot-wear choices early in life on foot pain. It seems that the kind of shoes one wears most of the time has a significant effect on how much foot pain will develop later in life.</p>
<p>The study classified shoes into three groups: Good (athletic or casual sneakers), average (hard- or rubber-soled shoes, work boots), and poor (high heels, sandals, slippers).</p>
<p>The results showed that about 30% of women in the study had generalized foot pain on most days. However, women who wore good shoes were 67% less likely to develop foot pain than those who wore average shoes.</p>
<p>Men are not as susceptible to foot pain as women due to obvious reason: Only 2% of them wore poor shoes.</p>
<p>So next time you are temped toÂ try on a pair of high heels, knowing that pretty shoes may cost you more than you have realized.</p>

At the restaurant, cinemas, office, they&#8217;re simply everywhere! Now if you need some easier and yet more realistic ideas of green steps, 1000 Green Steps got one for you.</p>
<p>The idea is simply to put off your shoes whenever you are going to enter your house. Why? That might sound irrelevant, but whether you realize it or not, you bring a lot of microorganisms and pesticide&#8217;s toxic a little bit too close for your babies and family when you bring your dirty shoes inside. You don&#8217;t actually want to risk them, do you?</p>
