Select ing Sport Shoes Getting in shape is a great idea, but buying the right pair of athletic shoes can be confusing. There's as many types of shoes as there are sports. Here's help from Extension Textiles and Cloth ing Specialist. Ardis Koester: "Sneakers are the best all around sport shoes. They're available in cotton canvas, heavy woven nylon and leather. In the summer, can vas gives more absorbency, but leather may last longer. "If you're interested in one sport, you probably need specially designed footwear. If you run or jog. running shoes are built for forward motion with extra padding to protect our heels. A good running shoe should also give flexibility and traction for running on different types of . surfaces. "Tennis and basketball shix's are built differently with more support for the ball of the fool and to withstand Iwists and turns. "Whatever type of shoe you're selecting, try on both shoes with the socks you'll be wearing. Comfort and a good fit are important." n4 Wknlir Cauntiaa 676-9 1 46 1 989-S221 Ml Next came the field lighting system, another project spon sored by the Chamber of Commerce.
