Long Wear with Balanced Weight 
-to save your strength as it saves your pocketbook „ 
I F the problem had been simply to make you a boot 
or a shoe that gave you good wear; or if it had been 
to make you a comfortable boot without regard to the 
amount of wear it would give, we could have saved con¬ 
siderable of the time and money that was spent in per¬ 
fecting Hood Boots and Overshoes. 
As for long wear, we will spend little time talking about 
it. It must be there, and it is there, in good measure. 
But comfort is another story. Many designs tested 
proved comfortable in the try-on and in the first hour 
or so of use. At the end of the day they were heavy, 
and far from comfortable. A little weight off balance does 
not amount to much until you have carried it for eight 
or ten hours. 
Equal in importance to the proper balance of the boot, 
is the placing of all reinforcements, inside and outside. 
They must not in any way cramp the muscles of the 
foot or partially shut off any of the main arteries of the 
foot. Improper circulation is the cause of more foot 
troubles than the average man realizes. Neither do most 
men realize that the muscles and nerve structure of the 
feet tie in directly with the big leg and back muscles and 
with the entire nervous system. Many a back ache and 
"all in” feeling is due primarily to foot weariness.

We may have gone to some length in explaining these things. We want you to 
know how Hood Boots are designed, and how much real comfort and satisfaction they 
are capable of giving you. Take our word for this to the extent of trying a pair of 
Red Boots or a pair of Kattle Kings. Put them on for the first long, hard day’s work 
and at the end of such a day see what you think of the principles of balanced weight 
and scientific reinforcing.
