Shoes with crooked heels are the chief
support of the chiropodist profession
DR.. Walsch, a surgeon who has been
studying diseases of the feet for the last
ten years, attributes three Iourths of the
corns that dishgure the modern foot to
the uneven surface of the sole leather; the
rest are constitutional. Many people
would have corns if they went barefoot.
The majority would suffer no inconveni-
ence if they kept the heels of their boots
in shape. When the heel is allowed to
run down the plane of the foot is changed.
Instead of being parallel to the ground,
the position is slightly oblique; the shoe
turns and the weight is thrown on the
little toe or the big toe joint as the heel
inclines. Wear high heels, low heels or
spring heels. but see that they are true,
so as to give the foot even support.
