YOUR HEALTH
Your health is dependent to a. great extent
upon the fit of your shoes, so the doctors say. Ill
fitting shoes make the feet uncomfortable and also
force the wearer to- walk unnaturallyt which, by
causing the weight of the
body to be distributed unev
enly on the foot, brings about
various nervous disorders.. If
you feel all out of sorts per
haps your slVoes are to blame.
Anyway, get a pair of
WALK-OVER SHOES and
note the restful feeling they
will give your feet. ,
