Show Christmas Qomfort NEAT FEET GEAR , Put your best foot forward this holiday season. Shoes and other foot gear are practi- 1 cal gifts that are almost a shoo-in to please. I Here are some shoe-buying tips: 1. Toes should be roomy at least a half-inch of empty space in front of toes. Heels should be snug and the instep comfortable. FOOT GEAR can be comfortable and great looking to boot. 2. Insoles should be made of lightweight, even-grained-leather. 3. Stitching should be small and even. Look for one to two rows of stitching, suggest the shoe experts at Kinney, the Great American Shoe Store. 4. Leather should be pliant and show no cracking when the shoe is bent. 5. If the shoes are a correct fit, they are comfortable from the start and do not require "breaking in." New shoes should be as comfortable comfort-able as the proverbial old shoe. Even on a shoestring budget, you can probably foot the bill for shoes, slippers, slip-pers, hiking shoes, boots or stockings. After wearing out your feet Christmas shopping, you may even want to put yourself in your gift recipients' recipi-ents' shoes and treat yourself to a new pair of shoes. |
