Tacko Fall pays homage to Senegal with customized game-day shoes - The Rookie Wire

Though he won't be playing on Friday night, Boston Celtics two-way contract player Tacko Fall hit the court during warmups in customized shoes honoring his native Senegal.

The custom Nike shoes feature several colorful images from his homeland and include a mockup of the country's flag on the back of one sneaker and the continent of Africa on the other one.

Of course, Fall is in the concussion protocol program and will not play Friday night against the Toronto Raptors. He missed the regular-season opener Wednesday as he waits to be cleared. The concussion was caused after Fall hit his head on a low ceiling. He said he woke up the next day experiencing symptoms of a concussion and was quickly evaluated.

Celtics head coach Brad Stevens said Fall likely wouldn't have played anyway on Wednesday but the team may soon need him just in case. Center Enes Kanter suffered a knee contusion in the opener and will not play Friday night and could miss additional time. The Celtics may want Fall available for depth purposes in the frontcourt.

In any case, it appears as though we could see some flashy shoes from Fall throughout the season, which would certainly further add to the legend that is Tacko Fall.

Ask Angies List: Is it really so bad to wear shoes in the house? - The Topeka Capital-Journal

Posted: 25 Oct 2019 05:05 PM PDT

Mom always said to leave your shoes at the door — and for good reason. Although you may love your footwear, it's usually best to take your shoes off when you walk inside your home. Otherwise, you risk damaging your floors and tracking in bacteria and toxins.

Need more convincing? Here are a few reasons why it's really bad to wear shoes in the house.

The floors get dirty quickly.

Even if the bottoms of your shoes don't look dirty, they're probably tracking in more debris than you realize. Wearing shoes in the house can mean more frequent sweeping, vacuuming and mopping. Avoid tracking in things better left outdoors by simply leaving your shoes in the mudroom or by the door. If you just can't stand being barefoot inside, a maid service might be able to help you with the extra cleanup.

Like, really dirty.

Aside from carrying in visible debris, your shoes are experts at picking up microscopic bacteria and toxins. Studies show that germs linger long after you've taken your last step of the day — including nasty bugs like E. coli. Toxins like motor oil, pesticides and antifreeze can also be tracked through your home.

Shoes wear out your carpet.

If you want your carpet to last as long as possible, avoid wearing shoes indoors. The soles of your shoes are often harsher than the bottoms of your feet and can cause carpet fibers to break and wear down prematurely. Over time, you may notice that you've worn paths into your floors in frequently-walked areas. Carpet installation professionals can help you figure out if there's still hope to save your shag!

Tip: Beware DIY deep cleaners. While some blogs sing the praises of white vinegar as a carpet cleaner, there's still a bit of debate as to whether or not it's an effective solution for cleaning out dirt and soil. To protect your carpet from discoloration or damage, most pros recommend consulting with an expert before doing any deep-cleaning.

Footwear can cause dents, scratches and scuffs.

Hardwood floors are particularly susceptible to shoe damage — especially when it comes to high heels and stilettos. The pressure of a pointed heel can create dents in wood that are difficult to repair without professional help. Sportswear like cleats and tap shoes are also common culprits. Softer soles like those on sandals and sneakers probably won't dent the floor, but they can cause scratches and scuff marks if you're not careful.

Tip: Use a walnut to fill in scratches. If you're noticing small scratches in your hardwood floor, don't panic! You can fix them fairly easily using a walnut. Just break open the nut and rub the inside on the marred floor. Rub the nutty oils into the scratch with your finger and watch how it disguises the damage.
