APSLEY ADJUSTABLE INVINCIBLE RUBBERS 



Many persons do not wish to wear ordinary rubber shoes, for the reason that they heat and draw the feet. At the 

 same time they are averse to wet feet. Many such have worn heavy soles, so called waterproof leather, etc. But what they 

 have needed is exactly what is shown in the above illustration — something that protects the sole from the wet, that is so 

 shaped in the shank as to exclude water, snow, and mud, and that does not cover the shoe upper. Rubbers of this kind may 

 be extra tight around the sole and yet be comfortable, for the reason that any extra pressure there affects only the solid 

 leather and in no way compresses or covers the foot. By the use of the adjustable buckle and the different widths it is 

 possible to fit any leather .shoe.
