ABOUT SHOES.
A shoe that is too wide does about as much damage to the foot as a too narrow one, but it works its mischief in a dif - feient way. The narrow shoe injures the foot by cramping it out of shape ; the broad shoe permits the foot to flatten out immoderately. Some peisons argue that if no shoes are at all better for the feet, then a broad shoe is the next best thing. But they fail to take into account the matter of friction in the loose shoe, by which the foot is chafed while walking. No shoes at all would be better than those that are too tight.
