    1. That is the September 1955 issue of McCall’s magazine, so there’s the closest date for your photo.

      I build prosthetics, most of our patients are diabetic. Diabetes makes it so that you lose feeling in your extremities. A lot of our patients lost their foot because they couldn’t feel their feet and were wearing shoes that didn’t fit properly.

      If more people used a good shoe salesman I would not be as busy as I am today.

      With all that being said, this doesn’t only apply to people who can’t feel their feet. Many many people wear the wrong size shoes. Many compensate a wide foot by buying a shoe that’s a size or two bigger, or continue to wear a flat shoe when they desperately need arch supports, leading to bad backs and hurt knees.

      I’m not saying a “shoe salesman” is the answer, but many people would benefit from seeing a professional about their footwear.

    3. Go to feet fleet, they’ll make you feel like royalty.
      Might even spot AL Bundy still working.
