THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPERLY FITTED SHOES In examining recruits for World War I, we came across many who had been wearing. or were still wearing, shoes with painted toes which came to a sharp point, wedging all five toes into the space of about two. The great majority of these cases were rejected, as many had hammer toes, many had bun- ions and flat feet were also com- mon.

Americans are rapidly walking their way into trouble, according to dermatologists, orthopedic special- ists. podiatrlsts and other special- ists who are confronted daily with a variety of foot ailments. The principal reason for so much foot trouble is failure to wear properly fitted and properly constructed shoes. Improper footwear is a par- ticular source of pain and discom- fort, causing coma and calluses at any place where the shoe does not fit the foot properly. In addition. the combination of heat and dampness from perspira- tion makes the feet ideal breeding grounds for the little vegetable or- gantlsms (fungi) that cause athlete's co . Now that manufacturers are mak- ing shoes of proper shape, enabling the individual to spread his toes. yet fitting snugly at vamp and heel, the purchaser knows at once whether or not the shoes fit him. Another suggestion from Direc- tor Kauth is that, while canvas sneakers are comfortable for games. they should not be worn all day as they give insufficient support to the feet. During National Foot Health Week some months ago, some sug- gestions for purchasers were pub- lished: 1. Buy shoes toward and of the day. since feet tend to swell when used. Both feet should be measured standing. The longest of the two feet should be measured and fitted. The shoe should extend at least a half-inch beyond the end of the big toe. The leather across the vamp should be wide enough to permit you to pinch it n bit be- tween your fingers. 2. Wear shoes with leather up- pers and soles which permit the feet to breathe. 3. wash feet daily, especially between toes. Dry feet carefully as heat and moisture breed the or- gsnlsms that cause athlete's foot- rlngworm of the feet.
