français term

bien dans ses baskets...etc

français vers anglais Autre Tourisme et voyages Tourism
Je compile le tout car il me faut trouver des expressions qui se resemblent et s'assemblent:
Bien dans ses baskets (randonnées)
Bien dans son corps: (activités physiques et thermales)
Bien dans sa tête: (tourisme intéllectuel)
J'ai vraiment du mal avec tout ça!
Merci de votre aide.

Idea I just thought about using three different expressions (why not,since there are 3 different paragraphs). Just need your opinion on it:
At ease in your shoes
Feeling fit
Food for thoughts

At ease in your shoes - feeling fit - food for thought

your suggestion is also possible and perhaps wise as it gives you far greater scope.

But it's food for thought not thoughts.

thanks, Dan
disagree Patrick and Carol Collins : Feeling fit and Food for thought is good, but "At ease in your shoes" does not bring hiking or walking to mind.

Nor do any of the other proposals, come to that! The paragraph will no doubt take care of illustrating what's involved.

Be kind to your feet, be kind to your body, be kind to your mind

Nancy, l'expression: être bien dans x unfortunately doesn't work well in English. So, the best I can think up this morning is BE KIND TO OR Make your feet FEEL GOOD [prefer the first] but it only works in as a command.

to feel good/confident

It means that you feel good in general. That you are confident in yourself.

An expression with a similar meaning would be \"être bien dans sa peau\". Litterally, to be good in one\'s skin! Again, it refers to how confident you are.

Well-being from head to toe

Not very little but it conveys the idea.

I meant not very literal...
Here\'s what you could do with the three paragraphs.
FIT FROM HEAD TO TOE
HEAD: [intellectual para.]
BODY: [spa para.]
TOES: [hiking para.]

feeling good in your walking shoes...

feeling good in your walking shoes
feeling fine in your body
feeling great in your head
my idea is to keep feel and play variants around it

Foot-loose, sound in body, sound in mind

mixes the metaphors a bit, but so does the French
Peer comment(s):

agree Noel Castelino : "Foot-loose" is good. Why not "foot-loose and fancy free" since it's about ramblers ?
