Stepping in to help Kosovan kids
A FAMILY run footwear store in Peterborough is collecting shoes for children in one of the poorest regions of Europe.
Footprints, owned by James North, has gathered over 375 pairs of shoes from customers and local school children as part of a charity appeal.
The store is asking customers to bring in their children's outgrown footwear when they come in for a fitting, so that the old pair can help a Kosovan child when the weather is too cold to go to school without shoes.

Image outweighs performance in trainer choice
IMAGE is more important than performance when it comes to choosing new trainers, according to the findings of a new study.
Biomechanics experts at Staffordshire University have discovered that colour is the single most important factor governing choice in a recent study carried out among a student population.
The research was carried out by Professor Nachi Chockalingam and Helen Branthwaite from the Faculty of Health and the findings published in the Footwear Science journal.
