Footwear Prices Rise • As footwear prices con­ tinue to climb, new shoes are beginning to pinch con­ sumers' budgets as well as their feet. According to Kathi Heberer, specialized clothing adviser with the M c H e n r y C o u n t y Cooperative Extension Service, footwear prices increased at a faster rate than prices for all apparel and apparel upkeep during 1979. Apparel and apparel- upkeep prices rose 4.6 percent last year. Men's footwear prices increased 10.8 percent; boys' and girls footwear, 9.2 percent; and women's footwear, 7.1 percent. The major reason for the price increase was the in­ creased cost of leather-up 35 percent last year. About 56 percent of the material used in making shoes and boots is leather. The rest is vinyl and plastic-the cost of which also rose because of in­ creased oil prices. Retail footwear prices are expected to continue to in­ crease during 1980. Rising prices for footwear make it essential to get the most wearlife possible from shoes and boots, Ms. Heberer says. The most important consideration when shopping for new shoes is good fit, the specialist adds. The cost of ill-fitting shoes is high-not only in wasted dollars, but also in potential foot problems. And the price for poor fit is especially high for young children who do not know that their shoes don't fit properly. Children's feet are pliable and can be squeezed into shoes that are too small, Ms. Heberer says. It takes ap­ proximately 20 years for the feet to reach full develop­ ment and good fitting shoes play an important part in the growth of healthy feet. When buying shoes remember that the foot has three dimensions to check for fit-length, width, depth- adds Ms. Heberer. The total length should be one-half to three-fourths of an inch longer than the longest toe to allow for lengthening of the foot when standing, the proportion should be correct from heel to the ball of the foot and the ball of the foot to the toe. The widest part of the shoe should be over the first joint of the great toe (ball of foot), when standing, the foot should rest on the bottom of the shoe. If it spills over and the leather bulges, the shoe is too tight. The shoes should also be deep enough to allow toes to move freely. And, finally, check shape. The shoes should be the correct shape for the feet. "It's nearly impossible to find one pair of shoes that is suitable for the many ac­ tivities in which men and women are engaged," Ms. Heberer says. A shoe that is suitable for sedentary use is probably not suitable for heavy work and outside activities. Active sports may require a particular type of shoe. Footwear for work should be selected with the type of job in mind. In some cases, this means safety toe tips and skid-proof soles. Feet need special con- s i d e r a t i o n d u r i n g pregnancy. The size and shape of the feet may change, circulation may become a problem and balance is less sure. Women should wear footwear with a broad base and medium heel height for firm support. Buy shoes with other articles of your wardrobe in mind, Ms. Heberer says. Consider such factors as color and texture in relation to the garments with which footwear will be worn. When your budget is limited, select one or per- phaps two basic colors such as brown, black or navy for Mr. and Mrs. Emil Guffa of Lake in the Hills announce the engagement of their daughter, Charmaine Guffa of Wonder Lake to Dennis A.
