good luck with the outfit
and give david a big Arch Angel Hug for Me if you Meet him..

Just dress modest casual or modest stylish. Dress comfortably, wear closed toed shoes. Personally I wear a fan t-shirt and jeans and sneaks. if you think it might be chilly inside or outside, you might want to bring a lightweight coverup (hoodie, cardigan or jacket). And I like to wear a waist pouch so I don't have to keep track of a purse. but if your dad will watch your purse then a purse is ok.

Here are some options:
1. A Red Tee & Black Pants & Converse (Demi Lovato Style)
2. go Online & Buy one of her T-Shirts & Wear Jeans (Any Shoes)
3. be Yourself. Maybe She'll like your Normal Style.
4. A Solid Color Tee w/ Vest & Metallic Leggings. (Any Shoes)
5. Make one of Those Tees People Make with Paint and Glitter
Saying Demi Lovato Or Something. you Can Maybe Put her Lyrics on the T-Shirt.

Sports Training With Proper Shoes

You always see big sports brand names being flashed on TV during huge sporting events. Usually, the star sports person wears a brand new pair of branded shoes to compete in the event. The results are usually quite impressive. After all, these are professional athletes. Impressed with the results, you go out and buy similar shoes, thinking that perhaps they will help you achieve better results.

This is a common mistake made by many inexperienced sports people. The shoes that are worn by professional athletes during competitive events are usually special shoes. In many cases, these shoes are tailor made for the athletes. Major sports companies can afford to do so because they are sponsoring the athletes. One good result from the athlete is probably better than a hundred advertisements. At the end of the day, results do sell. That is a fact of life.

But sports people also need to understand that results don’t just come from shiny shoes. Technology plays a part, but it’s just one part of the puzzle. The other part of the puzzle is training. And that’s where you will spend the majority of your time – training and preparing for the upcoming sports event.

Imagine having to train five to six times per week for a competitive event. Each training session can take anywhere from 3 to 6 hours, depending on the intensity of the training. For this reason, you definitely need to have the right sports shoes to help you sustain the level of intensity.

The actual sports event could be sprinting 400 meters, or running a 10 Km marathon. But bear in mind that when you are training for an event, not every training session is a 400 meter sprint or a 10 km run. You will likely be involved in a program that requires you to build muscle, endurance, etc.

In other words, being prepared means having the right shoes for various training purposes. In the market today, there are all kinds of specialized shoes – running shoes, sprinting shoes, street shoes, indoor court shoes, basket ball shoes, and more. You need to choose the appropriate shoe for the training program that you are engaged in. For instance, if your training program involves 2 sessions of weight training, 1 session of endurance training (jogging), and an additional 1 session of sprinting training, you will probably need 3 pairs of shoes. One pair of gym shoes, one pair of jogging shoes, and one pair of spiked shoes (for sprinting).

If you find it too much of a hassle to wear different shoes for different training sessions, an alternative would be to consider wearing all purpose shoes such as cross trainers. Cross trainers allow you to have a wider range of movements – forward, backwards, and lateral. So you can wear them to play different sports. But bear in mind that the comfort level and the performance of cross trainers will not be as good when compared to wearing specialized shoes.

Training wise, perhaps that is acceptable. For the actual event, you definitely need to wear a pair of specialized shoes for greater competitiveness.

How Sports Shoes Have Evolved Over The Years

We find ourselves in the midst of Olympic Games fever once again. Our top athletes are competing at the highest level and strive for top honours in their chosen fields. Most of the older will remember the rubber-soled plimsolls that were traditionally worn in PE lessons throughout most schools in Europe. These were available in any colour you liked as long as it was black or white.

These have been replaced by air cushioned, gel filled capsules with superior technical performance. They come in a variety of colours, shapes and forms and are purchased as much for their appearance as their performance. The ground-breaking manufacturing technique that allowed the development of the plimsoll was called vulcanisation, which is still used today. This process uses heat to meld rubber and cloth together. Sulphur is used during the process.

Plimsolls were revolutionary at the time as they provided comfort, were lightweight and allowed the user to move around silently. Plimsolls became known as sneakers and were sold on a mass scale in America as early as 1917. In the four years since the last Olympics in Athens technology has moved on somewhat and has definitely moved on since the plimsoll days.

Trainers and clothing has evolved to be lighter and stronger. But what part has technology had to play in enhancing the performance of our Olympians? Trainers and sport shoes have evolved, we have different shoes for each event and each pair of shoes is manufactured from a variety of number materials chosen because of their individual properties to put strength and flexibility where it is needed most.

Materials such as Kevlar which is ten times stronger than leather, leather or canvas which is both thin, stable and of a low density, foam blown polyurethane which gives a shoe extra cushioning and thermoplastic polyurethane which make a shoe both strong and pliable.

As technology has evolved scientists have developed new composite materials which work together to produce a better performance than that of the two or three separate materials. Differing materials offer different properties such as stability; offering resistance to twisting and warping. When weight is applied to a material over a period of time it will creep (flatten out and spread).

Some materials are used for their elastic properties, the ability to flex and bend when force is applied and then retain its original shape when the force is removed. Finally, some materials are chosen for their density which can be explained as the amount of matter in an object has per measurement of space, these materials are generally used for shock absorption.

Polyurethane is a unique material that offers the elasticity of rubber combined with the toughness and durability of metal. The flexible type of polyurethane is used to make upholstery, mattresses, earplugs, chemical-resistant coatings, specialty adhesives and sealants, and packaging.

It also comes to the rigid forms of insulation for buildings, water heaters, refrigerated transport, and commercial and residential refrigeration. It is used in the manufacture of sports shoes because of its lightweight shock absorption properties as well as being pliable as well as having great torsional and bending strength. Kevlar is one of the most important man-made organic fibres ever developed. The fibre possesses a remarkable combination of properties that has led to its use in a variety of commercial products since its invention in the 1970′s.

The fibres of Kevlar consist of long inter-connecting molecular chains produces from poly – paraphenylene terephthalamide. Kevlar offers high tensile strength with a low weight, structural rigidity, low electrical conductivity, high chemical resistance, low thermal shrinkage, excellent dimensional strength, high cut resistance, flame resistant and self extinguishing. Pretty versatile really!

Spiked running shoes have been around for over 100 years created by the British company Reebok in the 1890′s. The spiked shoe was developed out of necessity. The founder of the company enjoyed running and wanted to develop a shoe that would increase his speed.

In 1925 a company called Adi Dassler now known as Adidas created a range of shoes with hand-forged spikes. They offered a range of shoes for different distances. The company used the strongest and lightest materials available at the time to make the running shoes. Adi Dassler’s brother went on to found the Puma sports shoe company.

The involvement of science and technology in the 1970′s sports shoe manufacturers employed experts to conduct research into how humans run. They also investigated the shock effect to the body caused by the collision between the feet and the ground. Their finding helped to develop new, improved sports shoes.

Their research found three types of running styles:

Neutral:

This is where the heel of the runner makes contact with the ground and the foot travels in a straight line as it moves forward.

Pronation:

This where the heel hits the ground but this time the foot moves to the side as it travels forward. It refers to the inward roll of the foot.

Supenation:

This is where the heel hits the ground and the foot rolls outward. In modern times such materials as foam, silicon, air or gel have been added into trainers, these have been used to create cushioning systems in modern running shoes. In the 1970′s a plastic called ‘ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)’ was developed.

This material revolutionised the construction of sports shoes. It was made up of tiny air bubbles that provide cushioning and absorbs shock. This material is injection moulded into shapes, which serve as heel supports. Nike’s Air technology, which used a gas-filled bag of air inserted in the sole of the shoe to cushion the impact of running, first appeared in 1979. The pair of sneakers was named; Tailwind and these technologically advanced air-soles had provided a good foundation for which further Nike advancements are based on.

Since then, athletic shoes have become increasingly specialized and prices for various sneakers have grown in accordance to the advances in technology and its value-added features. Some shoes sold in the 1980′s even included a pump valve so you could inflate or deflate the heel on your shoe as if they were bicycle tyres

Following the introduction of Nike shoes, a technical breakthrough occurred in 1972 when Bill Bowerman, while studying the pattern on a waffle iron, came up with a great idea – waffle soles. Bowerman then cooked some rubber in his waffle iron and glued it to the bottom of a pair of shoes, which he later gave to athletes to test. The athletes came back with great reviews and the sneakers were well received in the market.

The patented outsole revolutionized running by offering better traction in a lighter-weight, more durable shoe.

In 2003 American spent on average 50 dollars on a pair of sports shoes. Companies sponsor most top athletes. This means that they are paid a fortune to wear the company’s products during a sporting competition.

The Olympics is the biggest sporting event in the world attracting worldwide television viewers. This offers an ideal opportunity for sports companies to get their products seen. As well as being finely honed athletes and sports people, athletes are now fantastic marketing tools for the sport shoe companies. Wouldn’t it be interesting if all the athletes in this year’s Olympics had to wear plimsolls, the only choice they could make would be the colour, black or white?

We’d see the real Olympic champions then.

However, there mush be some general guideline for you in case you are not the expert in this area and do not know a lot of jargons that use to calling sport shoes

How To Choose A Pair Of Sports Shoes

You need to know how to choose a pair of sports shoes for a few reasons. Firstly, sports shoes can be costly these days. A branded pair of sports shoes can cost as much as several hundred dollars. Secondly, if you choose the wrong pair of shoes, you may suffer from foot injuries. Here is a simple guide to help you choose a pair of sports shoes.

1) Get to know your own feet.

A normal foot has an arc in the middle. Sometimes, the arch may be too high, too low, or may even be non-existent. In such cases, you may require special shoes to help you engage in vigorous sports movements. Otherwise, you may start to feel pain in your feet. That is because the weight may be unevenly distributed while the feet are moving. To overcome this problem, you may need to buy special shoes or insert insoles into your sports shoes.

2) Buying for the right activity.

Be very clear about what you need the shoes for. Different shoes are built for different purposes. In fact, some shoes are so specialized that you can’t wear them for anything else (think spike shoes). You have to remember, sports shoes are designed to support the sports person during the sport activity. For example, if you are playing badminton, you will need shoes that help you maintain your balance while you move forwards, backwards, and sideways. The shoes have to provide your ankles with adequate support while you move in all directions.

Never wear a pair of running shoes for sports games that require you to move laterally a lot. Running shoes are built for forward movement only. Pick up a pair of running shoes and you will observe that the soles are slightly inclined – i.e. thicker at the heel, and thinner at the toes. This design enables the runner to keep up the forward running motion with less effort. Also, the thicker soles at the heels help to absorb most of the impact. When running, the heels land first. So that is the part that needs the most protection when running.

3) Comfort above price.

Place comfort above all else. Don’t base your decision based on price alone. You will be spending a lot time in your sports shoes. So be sure to choose comfort over price. If you feel more comfortable in a pair of sports shoes, you should buy it, even though it may cost a little more than the others.

4) Understand your own lifestyle.

Sometimes, we wear sports shoes for reasons other than taking part in sports activities. We may wear them simply because they help to protect our feet and prevent them from tiring out too easily. Or we may wear sports shoes for casual outings or to attend school. These are all valid reasons, so you shouldn’t restrict yourself to just one type of shoes. Some sports shoes are built for multiple purposes. That means you can wear them for cross training, casual outings, or intense sports activities. Having a good understanding of your own lifestyle helps you make a better buying decision.
