Proper Care of Growing
Feet Important to Child
Men's Slippers
Akin to Casuals
There is a dichotomy in men's
slippers. On the one hand (ex
cuse us foot), are the close
cousins to street slip-ons and
sports casuals, called "Porch
and Patio" or "Indoor-Outdoor"
types. One smart example with
a d'orsay topline is in a mock
reptile leather waggishly named
"mocco crocko."
Strictly for indoors, a hand
some red velvet slipper will
surely appear under many a
Christmas tree. Banded with
black grosgrain across the in
step, it also has rich black
braid around the top.
Another gift candidate is a
high front slipon in black pat
ent, with a thin wedge heel of
rubber and a semi-soft sole.
Both of these slippers are guar
anteed to please the smoking
jacket devotees.
On the other hand, or foot,
are the toe toasting and pam
pering soft slippers of felt, fab
ric, vinyl or leather, unlined
or made cozy with foam or imi
tation fur. One true moccasin
in this category is in antiqued
brown glove leather with a lin
ing of beaver-like shearling.
A high front d'orsay in grainy
black leather looks conserva
tive indeed until you see the
lining of fireman's red sheared
lamb's wool. A black leather
mule which has a rather daring
cut is sedately lined with black
pile.
In other words, to quote the
National Shoe institute, "the
man at leisure can have his
toe-wriggling foot comfort and
good looks too.
HOW TO SAVE
A big man might save him
self some shoe money by reduc
ing, according to the National
Shoe institute. If a man weigns
200 pounds, he puts a pounding
pressure of 88 tons on each shoe
every time he walks a mile!
Parents and teachers are the
first line of defense against a
child growing up with many
foot difficulties.
By including feet in the reg
ular health examination and by
teaching good health habits
early in life, many foot prob
lems can be prevented. Treat
ment of children's feet is de
signed to correct and prevent
the child's lapsing into bad foot
habits.
Nature provides nearly all
children with perfect feet.
Children's feet grow rapidly, at
certain ages growing a full size
or even more in a month or
two. It takes as long as ten
years before the bones of the
arches are wholly formed, but
it is not until the age of 20 that
the feet are completely devel
oped, says the National Shoe
institute.
In order to understand this
subject more fully, let us start
at birth and consider the child's
foot through its various stages
of development. There are over
200 bones in the human body,
and one-fourth of them are in
the feet. In a small baby the
bones of the body are soft and
pliable, of a cartilaginous na
ture rather than actual bone.
As the child grows and devel
ops, various bones in the body
become impregnated with cal
cium and thus become hardened
or true bone. In this process
the heels is the last in the entire
body to become hardened. This
usually occurs at 16 to 18 years
of age, but often as late as 20.
Fat Pads'
It follows, therefore, that a
small baby's foot is a soft, pli
able structure, easily distorted
by pressure and strain. His foot
is protected by "fat pads
which sometimes give a flat
foot appearance when the child
begins weight bearing. These
"fat pads" are Nature's way of
protecting the delicate struc
ture, and they will disappear
as the foot develops.
As soon as a child begins pull
ing himself up and putting
weight on his feet, shoes be
come a necessity. He will not
begin walking until his founda
tion is strong enough to hold
weight. Don't force him. The
absolute essential for normal
foot development in infancy is
complete freedom of motion.
As an infant grows in size,
he also grows in activity. See
how often he flexes and kicks
his feet and legs! All this ac
tivity develops the structures
which must later support the
body and propel it forward.
Anything which restricts
movement also restricts devel
opment. For instance, it has
been recognized in recent years
that constant "tummy sleep
ing" in infancy, with the lower
extremities in one position, will
often cause an awkward gait
when the child begins to walk.
The deformity called "pigeon
toe" is an example. It is, there
fore, advisable to change the
child's position from time to
time during the period of early
infancy when he is unable to
roll over by himself.
In sum, the child who walks
in comfort from babyhood on,
is the child who does walk. If
walking is pleasurable, he will
make it a lifelong habit. With
approximately 60 thousand
miles of walking to do during
life, an early start with ade
quate foot care makes sense.

FRESH SHAPES. COLORS Children's shoes are simple and
sensible, couched with the magic of fresh shapes and colors. Our
young arrogant elegants are admiring a black patent party shoe
with cutout shank and instep strap, and a high front almost
boot in soft black calfskin. On the floor back row: a smart red
patent boot for girls with a curved topline and a white lining;
baby's first shoe in white kidskin; a house or after-ski high-rise
slipper for older boys, in black calf with a red shearling lining.
Middle row: a snappy red leather oxford with black saddle stitch
ing and string tie, a line of white accenting the composition sole;
a boy's strapped moccasin in new, greyed brown suede with a
crepe sole; a girl's weather boot in polished red leather with a
fur-like front and cuff. Front row: Red velvet boot, with black
patent cutout trim matching the d'orsay line of the top; a red
suede buckle-strapped moccasin to please the girls; a sturdy
black leather slipon for small gentlemen, with a buckled strap
riding high on the instep.

Tips Are Given For Efficient Shoe Storage
Getting more mileage out of
shoes, like cars, depends very
much on the way they are
stored between outings.
Pumps that are tossed un
tended into a closet with a pile
of other shoes after wearing
will age when not in use. Dust 1
gathers rapidly, scuffing results,
and shoes without trees may
lose their good looks and shape
early in life.
But if they are polished or j
brushed and fitted with trees
before they are stored on a rack
or in boxes, shoes will look i
fresh when worn again, says the I
National Shoe institute. !
In today's space - conscious ;
home, every inch counts. This j
makes efficient shoe storage of
prime importance. Every wom
an has, of course, her own ideas
on how she likes her closets
arranged. She may prefer to
use the floor or the closet door
for shoe storage. Or she may
like to have shelves erected on
the walls at either side of the
door or at the rear of the closet.
All of these methods are work
able as long as the shoes have
sufficient space and their prop
er place, avoiding crowding.
Use Boxes
An eminently practical solu
tion to the problem is to use
the boxes footwear is pur
chased in. These sturdy card
board containers serve ideally
as dust covers for fabric, suede
and out-of-season shoes. They
can also be used, of course, for
all footwear. With care and
proper handling the boxes will
last the lifetime of the shoes, j
An arrangement of three or
four boxes, placed side by side,
and with the remainder of boxes
stacked neatly on top, will cre
ate a shoe "chest." Each box
can be made to function like a
drawer if the lip of one of the
narrow sides of the lid is re
moved, and a small pull Is in
serted directly below on the
box itself. In this way you need
only pull the shoe drawer half
way out to remove or replace
the shoes.
