FASHION HAS A NEW VIEW
POINT ON FOOT COMFORT TODAY

It is now modish to be comfortable.
Lower, broader heels are everywhere
in evidence. Prehaps it is a part of
women's newer freedom. Whatever
the cause, the result is evident, strong,
sound feet are fashionable; relaxed
nervous, distorted feet are no long
or thought of with tolerance, let alone
style appeal.
In the genera movement toward
foot strength and comfort Cantilever
Shoes have taken the lead. The f'ey-
ible shank, allows the foot free action
which strengthens the arch muscles
affording supreme comfort.
No rigid metal lies concealed IN
the arch, (as in the ordinary shoe.
When you lace Cantilever Shoe,
the flexible shank is drawn up snug!y
under the arch of your foot, giving
restful support.
The arch muscles are free to main
tain, or regain, their natural strength
by the mere act of exercise. Thus
are weak or fallen arches, and other
ills avoided or corrected. Cantllever
soles follow the natural outline OF
the foot, plenty of toe room, heels
rightly placed, enabling you to walk
or stand without fatigue.
The happy woman who loves life.
and gets the most out of it, is the
woman who wears properly shaped
shoe, which permits. natural function
of the arch muscles ana freedom OF
the toes, by being wide enough to al
low them free action in every step.
