    COMPILERS NOTES The following is a faithful digitalization of volume VI of F.Y. Golding’s BOOTS AND SHOES. I have taken the liberty of using this original blank page to comment on the material within. Insofar as I was able, I have endeavoured to preserve the original appearance, formatting, kerning, spacing, etc,. of the original work. Sometime, however, this was simply not possible. The typefaces used in the original text are not precisely duplicated in any of the font sets to which I have access. Then too, the spacing between chapter, paragraph, and graphic elements is often inconsistent within the original text. Sometimes a chapter heading will be set an inch and a quarter below the edge of the page, sometime an inch and a half. Sometimes, using a given set of paragraph styles, a page would format almost to the exact word at the bottom margin...and then the next page would run over or come up substantially short. Nevertheless, I have preserved page numbers and the contents of those pages to fairly close extent. Beyond that, nothing has been added or subtracted from the text as it is contained in the original volumes in my possession. It is my fervent hope that this work will help to preserve the Trade and make this invaluable resource more accessible to those students seeking to learn from the past masters.

  • Nike Sock-Like Flyknit Transforming Shoes As Shares Rise: R Etail1
    (BN) Nike Sock-Like Flyknit Transforming Shoes as Shares Rise: R etail1 +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Nike Sock-Like Flyknit Transforming Shoes as Shares Rise: Retail 2012-03-07 05:00:01.4 GMT By Matt Townsend March 7 (Bloomberg) -- Nike Inc.’s latest running shoe got its start when designers tried to solve a longstanding request from athletes: make shoes as comfortable as socks. “We think a lot about what-ifs,” said Ben Shaffer, studio director of Nike’s so-called innovation kitchen. “This was a what-if. What if we made sock shoes?” Nike had tried bringing sock attributes to shoes before, starting in the 1980s with a flimsy mesh sneaker called the Sock Racer. More attempts followed, and while offering comfort, they were insufficiently durable for running and other sports. The world’s largest sporting-goods maker now says it has the solution with Flyknit, a 5.6-ounce running shoe made from synthetic yarn woven together by a knitting machine. Besides giving Nike an edge in the fast-growing lightweight running category, executives say the new weaving process could cut costs enough to move production outside Asia and one day allow anyone to personalize shoes to their exact specifications. “This is a complete game changer,” said Charlie Denson, president of the Nike brand, while holding a Flyknit after its debut in New York last month. The process cuts costs so much “that eventually we could make these shoes anywhere in the world, which makes things very interesting.” Flyknit, which costs $150 and hits U.S. stores in July, is the latest product aimed at the minimalist running movement, whose devotees advocate lightweight shoes to reduce injuries.
