The “Secret Spring.” Hidden in the shank of Kahler Shoes is a strip of resilient steel, tempered, hand-forged, “springy.” It does not restrict the motion of the foot, but lends support to the arch, and increases the buoy- ancy of your step. The Cupped Heel Seat. In the heel is a carefully meas- ured hollow in which the heel of the foot rests. It pre- vents the foot from pressing forward into the toe of the % Z shoe. The Straightline Last. A sole that does not distort the toes and cause bunions (as do ordinary shoes), but in- stead, follows the outline of the foot and increases your comfort. The Combination Last. To prevent slipping at the heel and gaping at the instep, the Kahler last is designed two widths narrower at the heel than across tie ball of the foot. The Cushiony Cork Filler. Between the leathers is this flexible, shock-absorbent, dampproof insole. KAHILER COMFORT SHOES e GO DR P. KAHLER G Sons 603:13thStNWnar =s: Wash DC. New York address 15W.44™St..
