Aside from certain few, with
weak ankles, the only man averse
to low shoes for Summer is the
man that hasn't tried them.
27oo pair is our record OF sales
up to June 1st-beginning of
Summer. This proves our argu-
ment, and that a generous stock
and variety is appreciated.
A low shoe is cool and comfort
able; easy to get on and off; gives
play to the foot in walking.
But tan is cooler than black; a
double sole cooler than a single.
