How to Walk in Notwithstanding
About Boots and their Evils.

The boOtmaker ignorant of the relative use
and Importance of the different parts of the
foot, has steadily persisted for centuries, and at
this day usually persists IN SO shaping the shoe
that the great toe is forced upon the other
toes more or less out of its right Inc with the
heel Nine civilized people in ten perhaps,
have their great toes thus by a course of sab
mission to nIs shapen boots aud shoes so far
turned inwardS, that line run down in the
IN ddIe of them from point to ball, if continued
would not fall anywhere in the heel at all, hut
several inches away outside the body. The
necessary consequence raising the body is des
sroyed the effort has to be made at disad-
vantage, aud with pressure the act of walk
iug loses some of its ease; so that although
the boot may be so well adjusted 10 the Spollt
shape of the foot as to cause no pain, an hon
rst twenty or thirty mile walk is more than
the hampered foot machinery has power to sus.
| tain
For this reason, says DR.. Meyer, it is wrong
ID suppose that because It is easy it is right, or
that IA cast of the foot, unless it be a healthy
one would make the best last for the shoe it is
To wear Allowance should be made for the
gradual return Of the great toe to its place, by
leaving its place to some extent at least vacant
for it. aud permitting geatle pressure where the
Joint has been forced uto undue pr1jectiOn.-
When the shoemaker now tells customer that
he treads very much on one side, he in fact
commitments him by the information that he
has a healthy and unsuhjugated foot, deter
mined to tread straight. 1t is precisely be-
cause childreu'S feet are only in the first stage
OF injury, and are more nearly as God made
them than as they are destined 10 be made by
the shoemakerS, that children especially come
INTO trouble with the ShoemakerS, or with the
parents and guardians who believe rather in
shoes than in .eet, for threading on one side"
A strong and healthy foot trarnpies a foolish
shoe out as far as possible into the form 1t
ought at first to have had. Even the distorted
foot. after the shoemaker has done bis work,
will often tread over the leather of the iuner
side OF the boot. heel, because of natural ef-
fort Of the foot heel to bring itself into some ap-
proach TO the right line with the great toe.
In properly made shoe, then, the great toe
and the heel have their right relative places
furnished Tor them And since they are to be
in line together, it must follow tina! it a we'll
made pair of boots be placed side by side so
that their heels touch their sides also will touch
through the whole space in front OF the nStep
from the place of the ball of the great toe 10
the very end of it. They will diVerge only at
the rounded ends, where the great toes round
off into the little toes, along whose line, and
nowhere else ANY possible pointing of the shape
of the boot sole can be got
