OR, SPRING WAIST BOOT, FOR both Ladies and Gentlemen, gives an elegant appearance and symmetrical form to the foot improving the shape of the instep, with increased comfort in wearing. Its chief feature is'an Elastic Steel Spring inserted in the Waist of the Hoot, causing it to fie more closely to the hollow of the foot than the ordinary Boot, It is highly recommended by the Medical Faculty as for flat feet and weak ankles, while at the same time it im proves the appearance and devek-pes the shape of a well-formed foot oy its surpassing elasticity. It is also completely successful in remedying uneven wearing, and possesses the important ad vantage of never lo.ing its shape. _ , The "FLEXURA" BOOT is also invaluable in supporting and training the ieet ot young people. The" FLEXURA" SPRING can be inserted of any strength—either light or strong —to suit all feet. ifgr'Observe the contrast?— __ . l'L?i??_^_&s&ir Fig. I.— The Ordinary *| Fig, 2.—The " Flexura' °Boot, half worn. . | Boot, half worn.
