SHOES AND THEIR WEARERS.
example I submit the adjoining Figure (22), the outline of a sole designed from the points just indicated by Mr. Weber, a shoemaker in Zurich; and in order to show the difference between a sole of this kind and one of the usual construction, I add the outline of one of the latter description (Fig. 23), which was cut out by the same artiste for the same foot, the deviations of the proper sole being distinguished by dotted lines.
In designing a sole, a drawing of the sole of the foot may be very useful to a shoemaker who knows and is willing to apply the true principles of his art, as he will thereby be saved the trouble of taking numerous individual measurements.
