When the foot Ijas acquired an oval form, it 

 is said to be contracted, although, in fact, there 

 IS no loss of crust, this substance being only im-' 

 properly disposed. 



The toe of the contracted foot is somevvdiat 

 more pointed and sloping dian it should be, 

 tlie quartej s are flatter and more upright, the sole 

 more hollow, and the heels nearer together than 

 they ought to be. 



As in preparing die foot for die shoe the 

 crust is generally cut rather sloping, so that its 

 cuter edge is Mt somewhat higher than that 

 which joins the sole, and as the upper surface of 

 the shoe slopes in an opposite direction, it is 

 evident that only tl^e outer edge of the crust 

 can come in contact with the shoe, as is shewn 

 below.
