Even if appearance were the only test, Flexridge would still become your favorite shoe. And it is so much more than merely a beautiful shoe! For old-fashioned shoemaking ideas were discarded in shaping The Flexridge Shoe, which is built over a new-type last that makes the shoe fit as if it were designed for your foot alone. The heel, forinstance, is shaped like a pear, with the narrowend at the top. Without even a suspicion of binding, it hugs the heel and cannot either slip or gap. The flexible sole “‘gives” like a willow branch bending in a:storm light, short shank holds up the S arch with a rigid support, yet is not long enough to bind the rest of the foot. It’s a shoe that makes you want to take a stroll when the ordinary shoe makes you want to take a taxi. Wear it through your busi- est day—walk in it, dance in it, live in it—your shoes and your feet will always be- friends. We are now introducing TheFlexridge Shoe to the women of this vicinity. Come in and let us fit you with your first pair.
