Walking Shoes have made tremendous hit
this season. They have soles as thick as
mems shoes, yet as pliable, symmetrical and
slick as shoes can be made besides they
have gum substance between the soles
which renders them entirely impervious TO
water, which knocks out the worry OF over
shoes. Respectfully,
