When you step in your stockinged foot, does the whole inner side of your foot touch the floor? We hope not, for that would indicate a fallen or weak arch. Between the ball of the foot and the heel the arch should curve up on the inner side of the foot, and not touch the floor. To strengthen the arch muscles and keep the foot healthy and comfortable, wear the Cantilever Shoe. For the shank is flexible, it bends with the foot. It encourages the muscles to ex- ercise. Cantilevers correct and pre- vent flat foot by strengthening the muscles that surround the bones of the rach. The natural inner sole line provides room for the toes in Cantilever Shoes. This and the set of the heel encourage correct posture. 'The under arch sole hugs the foot, when the shoe is laced, and supports the instep restfully and healthfully. Cantilevers are good looking shoes, and so comfortable you will like them perhaps better than any shoes you have ever worn.
