Editing Shoe (section)

=== Medial ===
The '''{{visible anchor|medial}}''' is the part of the shoe closest to a person's center of symmetry, and the lateral is on the opposite side, away from their center of symmetry. This can be in reference to either the outsole or the vamp. Most shoes have [[shoelaces]] on the upper, connecting the medial and lateral parts after one puts their shoes on and aiding in keeping their shoes on their feet. In 1968, [[Puma SE]] introduced the first pair of sneakers with [[Velcro]] straps in lieu of shoelaces, and these became popular by the 1980s, especially among children and the elderly.<ref name="Suddath_Claire">{{cite news|last=Suddath|first=Claire|title=A Brief History of: Velcro|url=http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1996883,00.html|access-date=July 30, 2012|newspaper=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]|date=June 15, 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120913155018/http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1996883,00.html|archive-date=September 13, 2012}}</ref><ref name="Frank_Robert">{{cite book|last=Frank|first=Robert H.|title=The Economic Naturalist: In Search of Explanations for Everyday Enigmas|year=2007|publisher=Basic Books|location=[[New York City]]|isbn=978-0-465-00217-7|pages=[https://archive.org/details/economicnaturali00fran_0/page/174 174]|url=https://archive.org/details/economicnaturali00fran_0|url-access=registration|quote=velcro laces.}}</ref>

The '''{{visible anchor|[[toe box]]}}''' is the part that covers and protects the toes. People with toe deformities, or individuals who experience toe swelling (such as [[long-distance running|long-distance runners]]) usually require a larger toe box.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Edelstein|first1=Joan E.|last2=Bruckner|first2=Jan|title=Orthotics: A Comprehensive Clinical Approach|year=2002|publisher=SLACK Incorporated|isbn=978-1-55642-416-8|pages=[https://archive.org/details/orthoticscompreh0000edel/page/21 21]|url=https://archive.org/details/orthoticscompreh0000edel/page/21}}</ref>
