1. Kobe -- Shoes
   The northern area of Kobe is an industrial area. There are many factories. Sake production in Nada district has been known from the Edo period. Nagata district in the southwest area of Kobe was a center of shoe production in Japan but production suffered because of destruction caused by the Earthquake.
2. Ballet Shoes
   On its publication, Ballet Shoes received universal praise from the critics, and the first edition sold out quickly. In Beyond the Vicarage (1971: 92), Noel tells of trying to buy copies for friends who were demanding them.
3. Toes -- Shoes
   Any problems that cause pain or discomfort in the toes should be given prompt attention. Ignoring the symptoms can aggravate the condition, and lead to a breakdown of tissue or even infection. Conservative treatment (non-surgical treatment) of overlapping toes begins with accommodating the disorder. Shoes with a high, broad toe box (toe area) are recommended for people suffering from overlapping toes. Forefoot supports such as gel toe straighteners, gel toe caps and toe combs are often recommended to keep overlapping toes apart. These effective devices are designed to reduce friction to help relieve the discomfort.
4. Penis Size -- Man
   Condom companies like Durex have been conducting so many researches on penis sizes and have been trying to collect database of sizes by conducting online surveys and surveys in other forms. They say each size is different and the database has become so huge that the average size can be taken as anywhere between 4 inches to 7 inches. So the difference is really huge with 3 inches apart.

6. Payless -- Payless Shoes
   Payless was not alone in offering budget footwear in a self-service format to American consumers. The self-service shoe industry emerged soon after World War II when cheap imported shoes began to be available on a widespread basis. Growth was fueled by changes in fashion that emphasized a looser fitting, more casual shoe as well as more variety in footwear. The 1950s baby boom ... contributed to the rise in large discount shoe stores that catered primarily to middle-income families with children. Like most of these low-end shoe stores, Payless's major market was in women's and children's shoes, which constituted about 60 percent and 30 percent of sales, respectively. By the early 1960s, the $6 million sales rung up in Payless's 38 stores represented only a small fraction of the estimated $270 million volume of the self-service retail shoe industry.
7. Athletic Shoe Stores
   Like other retailers that benefited from the country's growing population, shoe stores did well from the beginning of this century through the 1920s. During the early 1930s... they were badly hurt by the Great Depression and sales dropped by an average of 20 percent. The industry expanded rapidly as the economy strengthened and became highly competitive by the 1950s, when fashion trends changed and footwear styles grew more diverse. At that time, the improved post-war financial conditions also allowed new small-business owners to enter this industry by purchasing franchise outlets.

9. Air Jordans -- Shoes
   The Air Jordan XI is one of the most popular Air Jordans of all time and one of the most sought after sneakers of all time. These were the shoes Jordan wore during his first return to basketball during the 1995-1996 season. They revolutionized all basketball shoes with the use of a carbon-fiber shank; no one had ever seen so much technology in a basketball shoe prior to the XI.
