It has to do with the cleaners that you or your employer are using. Places that have polished flooring, such as in hospitals, squeaking will be noticed a bit more. Unfortunately, there's no way to prevent this from happening except with hospital-style shoe covers.

How long is a piece of string? This is something that can vary a lot depending on the individual and is mainly dictated by how much use they get. The main way a running or walking shoe wears out is by wearing through the "outsole" on the outside of the bottom of the shoe. The EVA midsole also becomes compressed during use. The midsole is the part of the shoe that absorbs all the impact when you are running and walking. See similar questions...

Walking shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles (or every 3 to 6 months). Replace your shoes when you can tell the difference between your old pair and a new pair. Do not go by their appearance. The inner support can be very worn while they still look ok on the outside. It is a good idea to rotate two pair of shoes if you walk daily, therefore they can bounce back between walks. Saving your walking shoes for walks (not everyday casual wear) will make them last longer. See similar questions...

Try some Gummi-Pfledge! Gummi-Pfledge is a BMW rubber care product. A 2.1 ounce tube part # 82 14 9 407 015 retails for $7.50. It protects and takes care of rubber items. It prevents door weatherstrips from freezing up in winter and keeps the rubber pliable. I cleaned the strips with Spray-Nine prior to appling. Although it comes with its own applicator, using my forefinger was the way to go. Applied sparingly as recommended, one tube should last for years. See a picture of the tube here.

Not officially our patch, but we are aware of a growing interest in the Via Francigena, and have added an Overview page and a couple of links to our list. However, a fellow association, the Confraternity of Pilgrims to Rome, came into being late in 2006. We extend them a warm welcome, and wish them buen camino.

Eight months is a long time out of our busy lives, but a few friends will be meeting me along the way to walk some stages together, which I'm really looking forward to. Tired, yes, but bored? No. It's not the walking I go for, it's what you find when you go. Each and every day is fascinating. You never know what's around the next corner. Once I came out from behind a rocky bluff, to see a magnificent stag barely 10 metres away. I was close enough to hear him breathe out in surprise. See similar questions...

Israel is a land of beautiful hills and valleys, and we will be walking on several of them. The walks are not extremely strenuous, but be prepared to do some walking over uneven terrain. The best way to prepare is to begin walking, on a daily basis, in the shoes you will be wearing while in Israel. See similar questions...

There are at least two causes for "squeaky reels" on a reel-reel tape recorder. (1) The tape edge may be rubbing against the rim of a distorted take-up reel, or (2) the oxide may be sticking to your erase (or other) heads. If the former, the least frustrating alternative is probably a new take-up reel. If the latter, Fred Korb left this note: If you have any squeaky reels that you would like to recover, I will be glad to send you more information on how to do it. See similar questions...

Squeaks are usually caused by temperature and humidity changes which cause contraction and expansion of wood. The sub-flooring and joists dry out and warp causing a separation between the sub-floor and joist. The wood moving up and down on the pulled nail causes the squeak. See similar questions...

Footwear can be split sole jazz shoes, ballet shoes, trainers or similar. This is something that is personal; you will soon find what suits you. You may have the opportunity to wear heels later on in the course. At the Leicester studio, suede bottomed shoes are recommended. At the Derby studio, rubber soled shoes are recommended.] See similar questions...
