Pia. 17. — A toe-weight shoe to increase the length of stride of fore feet. The nails are 

 placed too far back, and the shoe has no characteristic form, but the weight is properly 

 placed. 



Fig. 18. — Most common form of punched heel-weight shoe to induce high action in fore 



feet. The* profile of the shoe shows a " roll " at the toe and " swelled " heels. The 



» weight is well placed, but "rolling" the toe and raising the heel's lower action. The 



shoe would be much more effective if of uniform thicJiness and with no roll at the toe.
