M.HE PNEUMATIC HEEL AND SOLE JL COMPANY (LIMITED). A few pairs of Boots primitively fitted up with the above pneumatic pad, can be seen and tested at the Central Hotel by persons who entertain investing in shares. Not only is the absolute comfort while walking insured by means of this "air pad," but medical men assert that defective hearing, impaired sight, neuralgia, headaches, premature decay of vital powers, together with many other ailments, to which we are all subject, more especially the weaker sex, are caused by the unnatural concussion transmitted through the spinal cord while walking on our hard, macadamised roads. A test as to the comfort of this pad was made at the instigation of the officer commanding' the Wellington District a few weeks since, a copy of the result of which can be seen. A sergeant marched several miles in the boots in question, and in a long report on same to his commanding officer stated "that the hardest ground of roads, by means of this pneumatic pad, resembled walking over a springy fern track, and that he considered that he could walk 24 or 25 miles with less fatigue, and with greater comfort, in boots fitted up with this patent than 20 miles in his own ordinary boots." With the predominant desire of every power in Europe to minimise the fatigue in their various armies, contingent on heavy marching, it is not unreasonable to surmise that this pneumatic pad may very shortly be universally adopted as a military boot. As by reason of the "pad" yielding to the tread, the heel itself must last considerably longer than the old leathern heel,-and as it is estimated that the price of the pad will practically not increase the figure demanded for the boots, the two things combined should speedily ensure the leathern heel being entirely discarded for the more modern, more up to date, more comfortable, and more healthy Pneumatic Heel. . . .
