Many women who have accustomed themselves to high heels and pointed toes say, “Oh, my shoes are perfectly comfortable!" As a matter of fact, they have forgotten what real com- fort is.

The Cantilever Shoe provides such normal, absolute ease that discomfort and fatigue become as foreign to the feet as to the hands. Not only are the lines naturar ane the heels built for perfect balance and support, but Cantilevers have a flex- ible arch which permits the foot to @ bend freely.
