The least important part of this book is the life-story of an Italian shoemaker...this book is mainly about feet. If your feet are good it will teach you how to preserve them. If your feet are bad it will tell you why they are bad and help to save you from further agonies. It will do this because your feet are your shoes. If our feet are bad it is because your shoes are bad. Your feet look like the shoes you wear, and if the shoes are wrongly designed your feet will be twisted, crushed, and pinched. Yet it is not necessary to so torture yourselves. We can all walk happily and be well shod.
