Unless you can get your fingers under it (as shown) you probably have fiat feet. Physical Culture Shoes are designed to raise the “astragalus” to its proper position if it is low, and to keep it where it belongs if it happens to be all right. If you wear Physical Culture Shoes you'll be shod smartly and walk comfortably, because your arch will then take up the racking vibration that comes to the body when the “astragalus” feels low.
