CHANGE OFTEN Give your shoes a holiday and your feet a
break. Change as often as you can to slippers or a fresh pair of
shoes. Left and on the foot, mid-heel pumps of gleaming black
lizard, the ultimate in daytime footwear; luxurious leisure, a rose
velvet mule with rich gold braid for ornament and a fleecy lining
for comfort; right, a new triumph of the leather industry
alligator calf in a golden brown makes this attractive wide
throat pump.
Color Is Integral
Part of Shoe Themes
Color is an integral part of
the fashion story for fall
thread of excitement running
through Ihj gentled, ladylike
liEhtweieht theme.
Neutrals, stronger than ever,
include the lightened ashy
beiges, the charred oaks, the
tauped, browned grays. They
take in the calm camels, the
deep, unreddened browns, the
slightly greened and honeyed
wood tones. Must and russet are
in for their share of interest.
according to the National Shoe
institute. So are KnaKi, cordo
van and lustrous copper penny
colors. The neutrals are ex
pressed most often in textured
finishes, the caviar grains, the
reptiles, the plushy suedes, the
sleek antelopes, ponies and
slubbed, brushed leathers.
Bright Navies
Blues range from brilliant
Bristol through t h e bright
navies to the warm, deep blues,
Significant now are the teal
and mallard shadings, with
more than a dollop of green to
eive them depth and fashion
SHOE ETIQUETTE
Amy Vanderbilt says: "The
ultra conservative man will
wear black shoes with a blue
suit, but brown are certainly
correct, and with any tweed or
rough - surface mixture more
suitable, in my opinion." The
National Shoe institute adds:
"Lots of good-looking brown
shoes for a man to choose from
this season, Miss Vanderbilt."

Walking Shoes
New Designed
In Varied Types
"Of all exercises, walking is
the best," wrote Thomas Jef
ferson in a letter to a friend,
dated 1786.
Dr. Harry Johnson, president
of the Life Extension founda
tion, concurs heartily and adds
that it can be any kind of walk-
inc. window shopping in the
city or bird watching in the
country. Just be sure to do it,
at least 45 minutes a day.
The National Shoe institute
says designers are ready for the
challenge with shoes so attrac
tive that walking becomes a
matter of pride as well as of
health.
Walking shoes are remark
ably various in their f.ppeal,
which is as it should be. There
is room for several types of
walk-wear in the shoe wardrobe.
Classic saddle and moccasin
oxfords are always available
for their devotees, as are penny
loafers and spectator pumps,
but there is more to consider.
Designs Listed
Much more. Perhaps the ox
ford should have a somewhat
extended edge or a special pat
tern of stitching; the loafer
might have a tapered square
toe; the spectator pump could
be modified by an instep strap
or low tics and have a half
dozen or so kinds of heel, from
keg or spool through prism or
bevelled to the well - loved
straight, and stacked or cov
ered. And what about the ghillie
and the boot? What of the new
soft and mellow leathers, waxy
or brushed or grained; the col
or palette riotous with autumn
leaf shades?
Truly, the woman who walks
can walk in beauty. And let her
not forget Ihe old Latin adage:
"solvitur ambulando." Solve
your troubles by walking.
Where
fashion and
value meet...
There is fust growing frater
nity of college men whose
insignia is the crest of
HOlil.llK. Adhering to the
"comfortable fed", they refuse
toMievp that good taste must
carry a high price tag. This is
whv they have chosen
HOiil.KK. For the nixlatetl
look of today's youth, without

importance. When Mrs. Nelson
Rockefeller wore a brown suit
and brown shoes, with a blue
blouse and blue topcoat for her
wedding trip costume, the Gov
ernor's lady called attention to
a color combination, somewhat
neglected in other seasons,
coming into its own this year.
To progress to the next shade
in the spectrum, true greens
and greens with - brown (the
brassy, deep woodsy colorings)
are welcomed for their affinity
for every color that fashion
loves this fall. Try them with
blue, with brown, with all the
neutrals, and for a bang-up new
look, team them with firecrack
er or tawny reds.
Black, still securely enthron
ed, turns up in textures, lends
its status to new silhouettes,
gives a look of Tightness to ev
ery color on the fashion palette
in a whole range of new com
binations with black. It is fa
vored in pebbly textures, deeply
grained alligator, ostrich, brush
ed leathers, new long-haired
furs. It adds depth to kidskin.
brilliance to waxy or matte fin
ishes. Black with white is a new
excitement, cropping up in
frankly fake zebra stripes, in
pinto pony, in black-shaded
white snake.
Becoming Fashion
Reds are on their way to be
coming a reigning fashion fam
ily. The brights are most impor
tant now, the scarlets, cherries
and other explosive shades. A
new addition are the jewel-lustres
that give a whitened, soft
ened look to deep rubies, bur
gundies, cranberries. Browned
reds, the whole wonderful
range of sun-baked tile colors,
are a favorite foil for shadow
antiquing and texture-on-texture
combinations.
All of which makes it abun
dantly clear that color is per
haps the most important diver
sification factor in the woman's
shoe portfolio.
Guide for Foot Glamour Listed by Shoe Institute
Cleopatra's claim to fame is might serve as guidelines to
based on far more than her
conversation with the Sphinx.
In fact, the Egyptian beauty's
bathing habits have long been
a subject of controversy
throughout the world. Whether
she dipped her toes in the mud
dy Nile or milk or mustard
is actually of less consequence
than the fact that she took time
out for a pedicure.
No one need ask what all this
history has to do with the here
and now. Today's toes are just
as exposed as those in antiqui
ty. The sandal and the sling
back were never more fashion
able, and the well-groomed foot
never more necessary.
Basic to all foot glamour is
the selection of a shoe that fits
properly, says the National Shoe
institute. For if the shoe pinch
es, the wearer winces. The re
sults will show in callouses and
pump bumps below, crows' feet
around the eyes above. These
foot glamour:
Exercises Muscles
1. A change of shoes twice a
day and preferably more often
staves off fatigue. The switch
from mid heels to flats exer
cises different sets of muscles,
thereby relieving others. Low
heels are recommended for ex
tended periods of standing or
walking. High heels, desirable
because they flatter every wom
an's legs, should not be worn
continuously.
2. To develop a well-turned
leg, sit properly. Crossed knees
make legs and ankles thicken,
or they result in hollow thighs
on thin people. On the other
hand, crossed ankles can do no
wrong, when you sit with your
legs angled slightly sideways.
3. To strengthen toes and
arches there is the tantalizing,
time-proven formula: flex your
feet and stretch your toes. One
exercise, while sitting on the
floor with your feet extended
CLASSIC TREND New trends in men's shoes involve subtle
changes on classic themes. From the left: Jarman's lightweight
brogue, suitable for business wear; the new jodhpur-like front
in a supple oxford of Surf calfskin, by Regal; a black four eyelet
oxford with graceful toe perforations and unusual shank stitching,
from French Shriner; a bal front, five eyelet cordovan tie with
perforations accenting the vamp, shank and back; and a newsy
combination of smooth and grain leather in a long front oxford.
in front of you, is to curl your
toes and stretch them out al
ternately several times.
Legs Outstretched
4. To slim ankles, sit with
your legs outstretched and ro
tate your feet 15 times to the
right and then 15 times to the
left.
5. Exercising improves circu
lation, thereby toning up mus
cles. To stimulate ankles, knees
and calves, the following is pre
scribed: press the small of your
back against the floor, btretcn
your arms above your head.
Curl your toes while pressing
your heels against the floor. Re
peat several times.
6. Another way to make flab
by muscles firmer is to mas
sage with a home electric vibrator.
7. Frequent applications of a
foot spray, lotion or mixture of
thick soapsuds and a teaspoon
of baby oil will help keep the
skin velvety smooth. The soap,
water and oil solution should be
worked into the skin with a
nailbrush or your fingers.
Pedicure Starts
8. The once-a-week pedicure
begins with filing toenails. Us
ing the rough side of an emery
board, file straight across. Next,
soak the feet i.i warm, soapy
water. Rough or peeling skin
should be soaped over and over,
massaging gently to stimulate
circulation. Clean the nails thor
oughly with a nail brush. Whit
tle down places where the skin
has thickened, as around the
nails or where pump bumps
have appeared, with a dam
pened and soapy pumice stone.
Pump bumps, it should be re
membered, are caused by shoes
with too much slip at the heel.
Soften and push back cuticles
with a cotton swab that has
been dipped in cuticle solvent.
9. Nail polish should be ap
plied only after the feet are
creamed. Then, to keep the toes
separated while enamel is ap
plied and drying, separate toes
with cotton, or lace a folded
piece of cleansing tissue in and
out of the toes
10. Treatment of corns and
serious foot troubles should be
reserved for a podiatrist or
chiropodist.
