A 1910s advice piece emphasizes shoe comfort and foot health as key to appearance. It promotes hot baths, rubbing, and breathable footwear like heeled mules for ventilation, plus tips on drying and caring for feet. The column also includes reader Q A on baths and a note about a used car ad in GLISAN'S For Sale column, dated Nov 24 1910.
A writer notes the shift from costly fashion footwear to simple, comfortable styles. The piece argues that flashy, cheap imitations spoil outfits and that good shoes, though affordable, signal real style, while comfort matters for the public’s stance on fashion.
