And in a healthy foot where there are no symptoms of / navicular disorder, the sole should not be cut. 3. The shoe should have a level bearing upon the wall of the foot, aucl should not be sprung at the heel, as is too common, thereby acting as a fearful lever upon the tendons^ 4. The nails should be driven level and uni form, and only on the toe side of the inside quarter, the toot being thinner upon the inside and the greater weight of the body being sustained there.
