load than FOR one unioadcd; longer with low
heels than with high heels; and lonrcr ior
a man wearing chick solcs @ai those which
1rpie,t -lightly beyond the toe than ior one
wearing short and flexible soles. Il WIS
found that while tie heel might be lowered

the sole could not be made perfectly rigid
