*click clack click clack*

We’ve all been there, we’ve all heard it. One might think that the well-known clicking sound is only typical of women’s shoes, but this is not the case

Men’s shoes can click too. Men’s shoes can also (almost) sound like women’s high heels. In fact, heels, which are primarily responsible for this noise, were originally made for… men.

Yes, we men. Well, not literally. Heels helped ancient soldiers (15th century) to place their feet securely in the horse’s stirrups – which aided them in battle.

Personally, I love the click of my dress shoes – it conveys a sense of authority and confidence like nothing else. But if you’d prefer your shoes to be quiet and not announce your arrival, I understand that too. If you are in the second camp, this article will be especially useful for you 🙂

The easiest way to stop your dress shoes from clicking is to change the way the shoes interact with the ground. The main reason for clicking is the hard soles and heels of the shoes – if you add a sound absorbing material (like rubber) to the bottom of your soles, the clicking will be greatly reduced or possibly even stopped.

Depending on your usage, this can either be a permanent/temporary solution for you. Either way, it’s important to understand the reason for this noise and the steps you can take to avoid or fix it

What makes men’s shoes click?

As previously mentioned, the sound a pair of dress shoes makes depends on how it interacts with the ground. This is particularly evident in shoes with leather soles – because it is more robust than other materials. In addition, there are two other factors that can amplify this sound

1) Leather soles

The clicking sound is actually a sign of a good quality pair of shoes. This is because the clicking is caused when the leather sole hits the ground while walking. And I think it’s already clear that most high-end dress shoes will have leather soles

Actually, it’s not even the sole, but the heel that makes the evening shoes click. The leather used in the sole and heel area is particularly hard and durable to ensure the longevity of these shoes.

In addition, these leather heels are held in place by nails (they can be visible or hidden). These nails also cause the click-clack sound when touching the ground while walking

As far as I know, this problem (if you want to call it that :D) usually only occurs with leather soles

2) You have a tough walk

Everyone has a different gait, so an accurate description of the exact type of gait that amplifies the clicking sound is not possible.

However, if you’re hitting the ground very hard with your feet or taking big strides, then the heels have more of an impact, which adds to all the clacking.

If you’ve noticed this in yourself, next time try – er, gentle steps. This means that you don’t stamp your heels when you walk – as if you were walking in sneakers / flat-soled shoes.

It could solve your problem. And if not, there are always the hacks that we will talk about later

Oversized shoes

From the previous point, the harder the leather heel hits the ground, the louder the shoes click.

If your shoes are too big, they will also contribute to the clicking noise. This is because oversized shoes are not secure around your feet and tend to slip as you walk, most likely hitting the ground before your feet do.

The wrong fit can lead to many problems anyway, so you should always make sure that your dress shoes fit you just right. If you need help, there’s already a post where I talk about dress shoe fit. Check it out here

5 hacks for noisy/clicky dress shoes

Finally, the highlight of this post. It’s time to get rid of that clicking sound from your shoes. The following methods will help with this

Hack #1: Wear rubber-soled shoes

This one is obvious. Since leather soles cause the clicking noise, don’t wear leather sole shoes if you don’t like them. Problem solved!

Rubber soles work wonders for soundproofing, have good grip and are also waterproof. If you wear dress shoes in wet conditions, these are the perfect option for you.

However, rubber also has some compromises, and often there are more sides to the process of choosing the most suitable soles than just the clicking sound.

So if you just want leather-soled shoes but still hate the clicking, the other hacks might offer a solution

Hack #2: Use rubber heel counters

If rubber-soled shoes aren’t an option, what about rubber-soled add-ons?

Many cobblers carry thin rubber heel pieces that they can easily attach to the bottom of your leather soles. These may not offer all the benefits of a solid rubber sole, but they definitely help with clicking and also offer some grip

NOTE: Some shoe brands already put some rubber on their soles to give the shoes a bit of traction. These can help with the noise, but if they aren’t, you can still opt for this option of rubber heel taps

Alternatively, if you don’t have a cobbler nearby or don’t want to contact one, such rubber heels may also be available online. They are usually self-adhesive so you can attach them to the shoes yourself. I think they might work well enough.

Here’s one I found on Amazon

However, be careful with the thickness of these add-ons. If they are too thick, they add unnecessary height to the shoe and are also easy to see when walking. Ideally, you want something that’s flimsy but gets the job done

Rubber heel/sole pads like these are also sold for women’s heels. So if you can’t find the above, look for these.

Since they are made for women’s shoes, they should be thin enough for our needs. Although they are mainly attached to the front of the shoes (under the front foot) for women, you can cut out a section and glue it to the heels of your shoes

Hack #3: Felt pads for furniture

You must have seen those furniture pads that are placed under the legs of tables (any other part that comes in contact with them) to protect the beautiful tiles/floors.

They’re usually made out of felt, and yes, we can use them to our advantage to keep our shoes from clicking

The principle is the same as with the rubber taps: you take two of these felt pads, cut them out in the shape of the heel and glue them on. Finished!

Felt may not last as long as rubber, so you need to be mindful of that. I would only recommend this option if you only wear your shoes indoors i.e. at home or in the office. For everything else, rubber taps would be preferable

NOTE: Furniture pads are also available in rubber. So if you can’t find any of the options listed above, try to find them

Hack #4: Wine Cork (or Any Cork)

Yes, I know wine corks aren’t big enough to clip to heels. But you got the stuff I’m referring to right away, didn’t you 🙂

Like felt, cork also provides sound absorption, helping to keep your dress shoes from clicking.

There are also cork pads, mainly as coasters. You can cut them into shape and stick them on the heels.

As with rubber heel pads, you may want to check the thickness (~2-3mm would suffice) of these. The ones sold as coasters should be fine

Note that cork doesn’t help you in damp/wet conditions, so don’t think about wearing your cork shoes in the rain (not that you should be wearing those nice formal shoes in the rain anyway).

[SURPRISE] Hack #5: Duct Tape?

I was shocked to find this hack while researching the post. Duct tape sounds like an unlikely solution for click shoes – but I tried it and well, it kind of works. However, I wasn’t entirely satisfied with the result

However, you need to make sure you cover the heel completely. If these nail parts are visible, the click can still seep through.

Needless to say, these will be the least durable of all hacks and the first to break. But if you’re in a hurry and can’t stand a click, it can work in your favor

Clickety-clack, clickety-clack…

That covers all the tips I had for preventing men’s shoes from clicking.

Everyone deserves to be happy with the shoes they wear, and if these methods help you in that, then more power to you!

The stick-on heel pads (#2, #3, #4) are easy to apply yourself, but note that once worn and leaving a sticky residue, they can be difficult to remove. So be absolutely sure if you choose them 🙂

SCRANTON — Daylight saving time may mean a change in footwear. This applies to men, women and children. A doctor at Geisinger Community Medical Center in Scranton says…

SCRANTON — Daylight saving time may mean a change in footwear. This applies to men, women and children.

A doctor at Geisinger Community Medical Center in Scranton says she treats more foot problems in the summer than any other time of year, and she has an idea why.

In the summer, many of us put down our boots and take off our flip-flops.

It’s the time of year when foot and ankle surgeon Dr. Ellianne Nasser says she sees most patients complain of foot and heel pain — so much so, she calls it flip-flop syndrome. But she says not all summer sandals are bad.

“They can be a good thing walking around a pool. We’d rather wear you in something like this than barefoot to protect your feet. But when it comes to support and long-term walking, you don’t want to wear that,” Dr. Nasser said.

dr Nasser is a foot and ankle surgeon at Geisinger-CMC in Scranton. She says flip flops or flat sandals protect feet from dermatological problems like fungi and sores. But when you wear completely flat shoes, your arch collapses, which can throw everything off balance.

“It’s like a domino effect. When something is wrong on one side, one foot, you usually put more pressure on the other side. This can affect your hips and back. Patients may also develop pain in other areas. ”

The downside to this is a heel that is too high.

“Usually when we walk, we go heel to toe. We push through, push off. If you wear a high heel, wedge, or stiletto, you lose that mechanism and all your weight goes to the ball of your foot.”

Bottom line: Neither super slim nor super tall are bad options as long as you limit wear time.

While they’re fun to wear, flip flops just aren’t good for your feet. In fact, wearing flip flops for long periods of time can wreak havoc on your feet and toes, requiring you to see an orthopedic surgeon.

Wearing flip flops when walking across the locker room floor or from your patio chair to the pool will not hurt your feet. But if they become your everyday shoes, your feet and ankles could pay the price.

Read on to learn how flip flops can lead to joint problems, the need for physical therapy, or even orthopedic surgery.

arch support

Many flip flops don’t offer much arch support. That means your plantar fascia — the thick band of tissue that connects your heel to the ball of your foot — doesn’t get the support it needs when you wear flip-flops. A lack of support leads to inflammation and a condition called plantar fasciitis, which makes walking painful and can ultimately lead to sagging arches.

Blow

Flip flops don’t keep your feet in place very well. Combine constant exercise and sweat and you run the risk of developing painful blisters and calluses in the balls of your feet and between your toes.

stress fractures

Without proper shock absorption in your shoes, you could suffer stress fractures in the bones of your feet. Wearing flip flops while standing or walking for long periods of time can cause tiny tears in your foot bones.

toe problems

Keeping a flip-flop on your foot requires your toes to grip the shoe almost constantly. Constant gripping can lead to tendinitis in the toes. The condition is quite painful and can lead to tearing or tearing of your tendons. Wearing flip flops too often can also cause bunions or hammer toes to develop. Hammer toe occurs when the joints contract, causing your toe to bend abnormally.

knee and back pain

You change the way you walk when you wear flip flops. Therefore, your entire body has to adapt. Even a slight change in gait can cause ankle, knee, hip or back problems.

If you have problems with your feet, please contact our office to make an appointment. Our experienced doctors and physical therapists will assess your condition and develop a treatment plan that will restore your body’s function and relieve you of pain.

Flip flops can be super comfortable, but only if you choose the right size. When buying flip flops, make sure you have about 1/2 inch of room all the way around your foot when you try them on. The straps should also fit snugly against your feet, but not rub against them. Since flip flops don’t have the support on the sides of your feet that you get from other shoes, try to choose a pair that has arches in the middle for more comfort. When walking in your flip flops, keep your feet straight so your flip flops don’t catch on the floor. You should also take slightly shorter strides, which will ease the pressure on your hips. For tips on how to correct duck feet or dove toes when wearing flip flops, read on!

The key to preventing flip flops from hurting your feet is to buy good quality shoes and only wear them for a short amount of time. Look for flip flops with thick straps and ankle support. These keep your feet in place and help distribute pressure evenly across the soles of your feet. You also want shoes made from quality materials like leather soles and nylon straps. These offer more grip than cheap rubber or plastic. Flip-flops with curved soles also relieve your arches. Flip flops are great for a quick trip to the grocery store or to the beach, but avoid wearing them on long walks or physical activity. If your flip flops are still hurting your feet, try spraying them with hairspray to prevent them from slipping and irritating your skin. For more tips including how to make your flip flops more comfortable with gel dots, read on!

With most of the population living in slippers for almost 14 months, it’s rare that we have to wear a pair of shoes at all. Now that social plans are filling appointment calendars, offices are opening and we leave the house more than once a week, the shoes in the closet need to be dusted off again.

If it’s been a while since you’ve worn a pair of proper shoes, you might find them uncomfortable on your first outings, especially if you’ve bought new shoes during lockdown. A new pair of shoes can completely transform and enhance an outfit, so we wouldn’t blame you for shoe shopping! It’s also an inexpensive way to revitalize your wardrobe if you’re feeling uninspired by what’s in it right now.

Many of us hate buying new shoes and only do it when absolutely necessary. There’s something comforting about wearing your trusty pair over and over again, but unfortunately even the highest quality shoes don’t last forever. Replacing them can feel awkward at first, but after a while you forget about the old couple and don’t look back.

If you’ve invested in a new pair and are having trouble finding them comfortable and they keep rubbing, then you need to read on. We’ve compiled a list of our top tips for keeping them from rubbing and how your shoes should fit you in the first place. Even if you haven’t bought any new shoes lately, you probably have a pair in your closet that you don’t wear often or at all because they’re just too uncomfortable. You might also get new tips here!

How should your shoes fit?

Shoes should be snug but not tight. If they are too big, they will inevitably fall off. Too small and they will give you short term and possibly long term foot problems. Shoes should support and protect your feet, not damage them!

Even if you’ve had a specific shoe size for a few years, each store will vary slightly. It’s always best to try on your normal size, but try the next size up (or half size) larger or smaller depending on how they fit. Many stores now also offer wide and narrow feet, so don’t forget to choose the right option for you. Some shoe styles work best for narrow feet; even the loosest fit is not right. On the other hand, some wide-fit styles don’t look right in a slim version! A loose fit in one store might still be too tight for you, but it’s a perfect fit in another store. Shoe shopping is all about trial and error and that’s where the fun lies!

Top tips to stop shoes rubbing

Try on shoes with the socks you intend to wear them with. Don’t go shopping in tights if you’re wearing boot socks if you’re going to wear them outside.

Go shoe shopping late in the day. Your feet have expanded by up to half a size from walking around during the day and fit differently in the morning than in the afternoon.

Always try on both shoes. Many people only try on one shoe when buying shoes. Everyone has a slightly larger foot than the other. So if you only try one shoe on your smaller foot, it might not even fit your other!

Invest in insoles for extra comfort. If you need more padding on the soles of your feet, insoles are a game changer for you. They provide an extra layer of softness to keep you more comfortable on your feet. However, you may need to buy larger fit or wide fit shoes to fit them. Take them with you when you buy a new pair of shoes to make sure they fit properly. While a pair of cheap insoles is good enough for most people, those who have to stand or walk all day for work should consider investing in custom insoles if they are having trouble with their feet.

Always break in your shoes before wearing them outside. Whenever you buy a new pair of shoes, you should always wear them around the house first. Wearing them with thick socks, sometimes two pairs, is a good way to break them in and give them some stretch.

Use petroleum jelly on the rubbing hotspots. Having broken in your shoes means they are now comfortable but not fully adjusted to your foot, which means you may still get blisters. A good way to prevent this is to rub petroleum jelly in these areas, usually on the back of your heels, at the top of your instep, and around your big and little toes.

Use a hair dryer on these problem areas. Blast areas with heat for about 30 seconds to make them supple. This should make them much more comfortable walking around and stretching out in it. You may have to do this a few times, so make sure you’re in no rush to get out the door!

Comfortable shoes are the one part of your outfit that you need to get right, whether it’s for a day or a night out. There is nothing worse than having sore feet all day or night and wishing you had worn a different pair. Never wearing new shoes for the very first time without first wearing them around the house is an absolute no-go! You must always break in shoes with our tips above, or you will never wear that pair again.

If you’re looking for a new pair of shoes, why not take a closer look at our range of men’s, women’s and children’s shoes and boots? We pride ourselves on using the highest quality materials without charging luxury prices.

From a stylish and sophisticated pair or men’s brogue shoes to a pair of tall leather men’s country boots, choosing the right size is important to avoid chafing. For the ladies, why not take a look at our leather Chelsea boots, boat shoes or even women’s leather loafers?

If you are unsure about any pair we sell or have any further questions or queries, please contact our friendly and knowledgeable customer service team who are on hand to offer advice and assistance.

There are so many different types of shoes available for purchase, but flip flops are often the quick choice and one of the most dangerous to wear frequently. Various foot disorders can develop as a result of wearing flip flops, and most can cause severe pain and discomfort. Some of these ailments can include blisters, corns, arch pain, Achilles tendinitis, and most commonly plantar fasciitis or heel pain. It’s a natural response of the toes to grab the front of the shoe to keep them on their feet. This can lead to aches and pains throughout the foot. If flip flops are still your first choice, it may be beneficial to alternate them with other types of flip flops. Sandals that have a strap around the heel can also be less damaging to feet, and wearing quality flip-flops that are made of leather materials can help. In addition, it is recommended not to wear socks with flip flops as this can also cause foot strain. If you have any questions about choosing the right flip flops for you, please consult a podiatrist.

Flip flops are not always the best shoe choice. If you have concerns about your feet or ankles, speak to one of our Parkwood Podiatry podiatrists. Our doctors support you in all matters relating to feet and ankles.

flip flops and feet

When the weather gets warmer, people like to wear flip flops. Flip flops are comfortable, stylish and easy to put on and take off. They are perfect for any summer beach goer. However, these shoes can damage the feet.

How can flip flops affect me in the long term?

ankle problems

hip problems

Lower back problems

pain in the balls of the feet

Arch problems

changes in the way you walk

Are there any injuries associated with flip flops?

Yes. Because flip flops are relatively flimsy and don’t offer the same support as sneakers, people who wear flip flops regularly are more prone to injury. Additionally, the open nature of the shoe makes your feet more susceptible to other issues like cuts and even infections. Common injuries and ailments include:

Sprained ankles

Blow

infections

cuts and scratches

I like to wear flip flops. Are there safe alternatives?

When shopping for flip flops, try to find ones with sturdy soles that are made of quality materials that will give your feet support. These flip flops cost more but also last longer.

If you have any questions, please contact our offices in Brunswick and Hinesville, GA. We offer the latest diagnostic and treatment technologies for all your foot and ankle needs.

Digital Circuits – Converting Flip-Flops

advertisement

In the previous chapter, we discussed the four flip-flops namely SR flip-flop, D flip-flop, JK flip-flop and T flip-flop. We can turn one flip-flop into the remaining three flip-flops by adding additional logic. So there will be a total of twelve flip-flop conversions.

Follow these steps to convert one flip flop to the other.

Consider the characteristic table of the desired flip-flop.

Fill in the excitation values ​​(inputs) of the given flip-flop for each combination of current state and next state. The excitation table for all flip flops is shown below.

Current state Next state SR Flip-flop inputs D Flip-flop input JK Flip-flop inputs T Flip-flop input Q(t) Q(t+1) S R D J K T 0 0 0 x 0 0 x 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 x 1 1 0 0 1 0 x 1 1 1 1 x 0 1 x 0 0

Get the simplified expressions for each excitation input. If necessary, use kmaps to simplify.

Draw the schematic of the desired flip-flop according to the simplified expressions using the given flip-flop and the required logic gates.

Now let’s convert some flip flops into others. Follow the same procedure for the remaining flip-flop conversions.

SR flip-flop to other flip-flop conversions

Below are the three possible conversions of SR flip-flops to other flip-flops.

SR flip-flop to D flip-flop

SR flip flop to JK flip flop

SR flip-flop to T flip-flop

Conversion of SR flip-flop to D flip-flop

Here the given flip-flop is an SR flip-flop and the desired flip-flop is a D flip-flop. Therefore, consider the following table of characteristics of the D flip-flop.

D Flip-Flop Input Current State Next State D Q(t) Q(t + 1) 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1

We know that the SR flip-flop has two inputs S and R. So write down the excitation values ​​of the SR flip-flop for each combination of current state and next state values. The table below shows the characteristics table of the D flip-flop along with the excitation inputs of the SR flip-flop.

D Flip-Flop Input Current State Next State SR Flip-Flop Inputs D Q(t) Q(t + 1) S R 0 0 0 0 x 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 x 0

From the table above, we can write the boolean functions for each input as follows.

$$S=m_{2}+d_{3}$$

$$R=m_{1}+d_{0}$$

We can use 2 variable k-maps to get simplified expressions for these inputs. The k-maps for S & R are shown below.

So after simplification we have S = D & R = D’. The circuit diagram of the D flip-flop is shown in the figure below.

This circuit consists of an SR flip-flop and an inverter. This inverter produces an output that is complementary to the D input. The overall circuit thus has a single input D and two outputs Q(t) & Q(t)’. Hence it is a D flip-flop. Similarly, you can perform two more conversions.

D flip-flop to other flip-flop conversions

Below are the three possible conversions of D flip-flops to other flip-flops.

D flip-flop to T flip-flop

D flip-flop to SR flip-flop

D flip-flop to JK flip-flop

Conversion of D flip-flop to T flip-flop

Here the given flip-flop is a D flip-flop and the desired flip-flop is a T flip-flop. Therefore, consider the following table of characteristics of the T flip-flop.

T Flip-Flop Input Current State Next State T Q(t) Q(t + 1) 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0

We know that the D flip-flop has a single input D. So write down the excitation values ​​of the D flip-flop for each combination of current state and next state values. The table below shows the characteristics table of the T flip-flop along with the excitation input of the D flip-flop.

T flip-flop input Current state Next state D flip-flop input T Q(t) Q(t + 1) D 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0

From the table above, we can directly write the boolean function of D as follows.

$$D=T\oplus Q\left ( t \right )$$

So we need a two-input exclusive OR gate along with a D flip-flop. The circuit diagram of the T flip-flop is shown in the figure below.

This circuit consists of a D flip-flop and an exclusive OR gate. This exclusive OR gate produces an output that is an Ex-OR of T and Q(t). The overall circuit thus has a single input T and two outputs Q(t) & Q(t)’. Hence it is a T flip-flop. Similarly, you can perform two more conversions.

JK flip-flop to other flip-flop conversions

Below are the three possible conversions from JK flip flops to other flip flops.

JK flip flop to T flip flop

JK flip-flop to D flip-flop

JK flip flop to SR flip flop

Conversion of JK flip-flop to T flip-flop

Here the given flip-flop is a JK flip-flop and the desired flip-flop is a T flip-flop. Therefore, consider the following table of characteristics of the T flip-flop.

T Flip-Flop Input Current State Next State T Q(t) Q(t + 1) 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0

We know that the JK flip flop has two inputs J & K. So write down the excitation values ​​of the JK flip-flop for each combination of current state and next state values. The table below shows the characteristics table of the T flip-flop along with the excitation inputs of the JK flip-flop.

T Flip-flop input Current state Next state JK Flip-flop input T Q(t) Q(t + 1) J K 0 0 0 0 x 0 1 1 x 0 1 0 1 1 x 1 1 0 x 1

From the table above, we can write the boolean functions for each input as follows.

$$J=m_{2}+d_{1}+d_{3}$$

$$K=m_{3}+d_{0}+d_{2}$$

We can use 2 variable K-maps to get simplified expressions for these two inputs. The k-maps for J & K are shown below.

So, after simplifying, we have J = T & K = T. The circuit diagram of T flip-flop is shown in the figure below.

This circuit consists only of JK flip-flops. It doesn’t need any more goals. Just connect the same input T to J & K. So the overall circuit has a single input, T and two outputs Q(t) & Q(t)’. Hence it is a T flip-flop. Similarly, you can perform two more conversions.

T flip-flop to other flip-flop conversions

The following are the three possible conversions from T flip-flops to other flip-flops.

T flip-flop to D flip-flop

T flip-flop to SR flip-flop

T flip flop to JK flip flop

Conversion of T flip-flop to D flip-flop

Here the given flip-flop is a T flip-flop and the desired flip-flop is a D flip-flop. Therefore, look at the D flip-flop characteristics table and write down the T flip-flop excitation values ​​for each combination of current state and next state values. The table below shows the characteristics table of the D flip-flop along with the excitation input of the T flip-flop.

D Flip-flop input Current state Next state T Flip-flop input D Q(t) Q(t + 1) T 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0

From the table above, we can directly write the boolean function of T as follows.

$$T=D\oplus Q\left ( t \right )$$

So we need a two input exclusive OR gate along with a T flip flop. The circuit diagram of the D flip-flop is shown in the figure below.

This circuit consists of a T flip-flop and an exclusive OR gate. This exclusive OR gate produces an output that is an Ex-OR of D and Q(t). So the overall circuit has a single input, D and two outputs Q(t) & Q(t)’. Hence it is a D flip-flop. Similarly, you can perform two more conversions.
