How do I know if a shoe fits correctly?

Shin splints - shin splints running shoe guide
Your heel should stay seated in the shoe when running and/or walking. Certain lacing patterns can help hold the heel in better if the shoe fits well otherwise. The length of the shoe and the amount of toe room you need are somewhat dependent on your mileage. In general, the more miles you run, the bigger you want your shoes to fit, because your feet swell on longer runs. Marathoners need approximately a thumb-width of space between the end of the toe and the end of the shoe.

If you can do the math correctly, will the answer be correct?

Highlights and FAQ's
Not at all! Just because you can do the math does not mean it is correct. For instance, if you did a creatinine determination on urine over a 4-hour period, you could multiply the answer by 6 and suggest this is the creatinine value for a 24 hours period. Once you understand renal physiology, not all compounds are excreted and reabsorbed at the same rate. Normal values are generally relative to a specific time period. You cannot do the math to get an "equivalent answer".

Is die temperature important and how can I measure it?

Eastern Alloys, Inc.
Die temperature is one of the most important process variables in die-casting. For zinc die-castings, the normal range is 3500 to 4500 F measured at the surface of the die just prior to injection. If the die temperature is too low, cold-shuts will be encouraged and the parts are likely to stick in the die and on the cores. If the temperature is too high, there will be an increased likelihood of soldering, burn-on and casting distortion.

Since most of the activity people accumulate is overland, pedometers are still one of the best ways to measure physical activity for young and old alike.
