Restrain them in tight, incorrectly built shoes, you weaken their muscles and bring on foot troubles. The right kind of a shoe will permit a buoyant carriage and allow the natural foot springs to function normally. The flexible Cantilever Shoe harmonizes with the flexing of the foot arch. This action exercises the foot muscles and strengthens the foot arch structure. The natural sale line and contour of the shoe, together with good heels rightly placed, evenly distribute the weight of the body and take the strain off the inner foot arch. The. body's weight is borne principally by the outer and stronger side of the foot. Come in and try on a pair of Can- tilever’Shoes. We think you'll like them for their trim appearance as much as for their famous comfort. s Cantilever Shoe Shop 1319 F St.—Second Floor. Over Young Men’s Shop. he ofulius Lansburgh Sfuraitire Go.
