Hew de you
judge shoes?
Most people don't. They judge prices.
But that is like the tail wagging the
deg, instead of the deg wagging the
tail. There's much mere te a shoe than
the price. There's leather, of course. a
There's workmanship, certainly. There's '
style. And .there's fitting.
It would take ye'ars te learn te judge
leather and geed workmanship ex
pertly. You've get te depend upon the
reputation of the maker of the shoes
for these things. Yeu are the judge of
style or pattern. When it comes te
a shoe-fitting, it's important te accept
the advice of one who knows.
These two big Walk-Over shops knew
what. that service means te you.
