Q: Keep in mind that, no matter what you do to the inside of your shoes, they'll still be about the same size on the outside. This can unfortunately sometimes lead to posture and gait problems. When you're wearing an oversized pair of shoes, it's important to maintain good posture to compensate for your "bigger" feet. See our posture article for a good selection of tips and pointers. A few general points include: Stand up straight. Keep your head and chest up and pointed forward. Pull your shoulders back slightly to align your arms. Use a heel-to-toe walking motion. Start each step by putting your heel down in front of you, then rolling through your arch, balls, and toes. Finally, push off! Try to squeeze your abs and glutes slightly as you walk. These supporting muscles help keep your spine straight and well-supported. Oversized shoes are usually slightly longer than what you're used to wearing. This means that it's extra-important to pick your feet up off the ground as you walk. If you let your feet drag, it's easy to catch the toe of your shoe on the ground. This can lead to tripping or stumbling, so be aware of this common issue. No matter what solutions you're using for your too-big shoes, almost nothing provides the support of a shoe that fits properly. Try to avoid using too-big shoes for longer treks like day trips and hikes. You will spare your feet the discomfort of blisters, cuts, and sore spots caused by big shoes sliding around as you walk. More importantly, you'll also reduce your chance for injury. Ankle injuries (like painful twists and sprains) are more likely in shoes that are too big. This is especially true in athletic situations. This may seem obvious, but it bears mentioning: the tricks above will only go so far. If your shoes are more than one or two sizes above your normal shoe size, no amount of padding will help. Don't risk pain and injury just to wear a pair of new shoes. In these cases, you'll want to switch for a better-fitting pair of shoes even an old, worn-out pair is usually a better choice than a pair that's far too big.
A: Try to maintain your posture when wearing big shoes. Be careful of tripping over your toes. Don't wear shoes that fit poorly for prolonged walking. Replace shoes that are significantly bigger than what you're used to.

Q: You will need to obtain an external hard drive. Once you connect it to your computer, search "save backup copies" in your computers search, then click on the result. Follow the instructions to back up your files onto the hard drive. Eject the hard drive once you have done so. You can revert back to the original Windows 8 or install a lower OS version, like Windows 7 or XP. Insert the CD/DVD into your PC's CD/DVD drive. Find the power button, and press down to turn it off. Once it is off, press the button to turn it back on. You can also restart your computer by locating that option your desktop menu and clicking on it. Press F1, F2, or the Delete button (depending on what BIOS version you have). Wait for the computer to reboot. Do so when the screen prompts you to "press any key to boot from CD or DVD." Choose to install a fresh copy of the Windows OS you want. Follow the installation procedure on the setup screen to install the new operating system.
A: Backup of your files. Get an older Windows OS CD/DVD installer. Locate your computer's CD drive. Restart your computer. Access the computer's BIOS. Set the BIOS to boot from the CD/DVD drive first. Save the changes once you're done. Tap any buttons on the keyboard. Re-install Windows.

Q: Your spout may have a mounting screw holding it in place. Look underneath your spout to locate the screw and turn it counterclockwise with an Allen wrench. Once the screw is loose, the faucet should easily pull off the pipe. If your spout doesn't have a screw, you can skip this step. Make sure you plug your drain so you don't accidentally lose the screw. Grab the spout with a pair of pliers and spin it counterclockwise. Once the spout is loose, finish unscrewing it from your wall by hand. Pull the spout away from the pipe. Use a tape measure to find the length of the pipe that was inside your faucet. Write the measurement down so you can remember it later on. When you buy a new spout, it will need to be longer than the pipe coming out of your wall.
A: Loosen the screw underneath the spout if there is one. Turn the spout counterclockwise if it didn't have a screw. Measure the length of the pipe extending from your wall.

Q: Wash the pitcher in the sink with hot soapy water. Plastic Brita pitchers are not made to withstand excessively hot water, so never clean your Brita filter by putting it in the dishwasher. If you do, your pitcher is likely to melt and warp, making it useless. When you wash the pitcher, use a basic dishwashing soap that is non-abrasive. Any type of liquid dish soap with mild cleaning ingredients works fine. Use a soft cloth or sponge as opposed to steel wool or any other harsh scrubbers. Dawn, Palmolive, and Joy are examples of mild dish soaps which are good to use. After you have washed the pitcher, rinse it thoroughly. To let the pitcher dry, set it upside down in a drying rack or on a clean towel on your counter or table. Drying the pitcher with a towel may leave small fibers which will get into your water. If you are in a hurry, dry the pitcher with a paper towel to avoid leaving cloth fibers.
A:
Wash the pitcher by hand. Use a mild dish detergent and a soft cloth. Rinse the pitcher and dry it upside down.
