About This Book

A practical manual explaining foot anatomy and the ways footwear and habits deform feet, it describes common problems such as crooked toes, flat arches, corns, bunions, and callosities, and traces their causes to tight or ill-shaped shoes, high heels, stockings, and poor lasts. Chapters offer prevention and remedial measures including better lasts and sole forms, exercises and strengthening, methods to straighten distorted toes, and guidance for children’s foot development. The work also gives shoemaking recommendations, critiques contemporary fashions, and offers practical tips on materials, waterproofing, and foot comfort and hygiene.
