INSIDE THE SHOE
Most people can remember when shoss were only made in sizes and half-si*es, and the purchase of a new pair was usually followed by several days of torture. Now the number of fittings is so large that evei*y normal foot can be comfortably shod, and one can buy a pair of shoes at any good shop and wal< away in them without discomfort. After a few days the new shoes are not always quite so easy to the soles of the feet as they promised to be in the shop, the reason for this being that the knots and nails covered by the inner lining have worked up, and are pressing on the foot. Few of us ever think, when buying new shoes, to put a hand inside them and f nd out if they are free from little protuberances on the sole. Actually very few shoes are, and much of the discomfort in walking is due to the almost minute ridges that are caused where pressure is put on the shoe. One cannot be :oo careful to see that shoes are as comfortable inside as they are smart and well-fitting in appearance.
