LOTUS "DORMEONE" SHOES are very eld, and tried favourites. They have two special features -the LOW HEEL and the "DORMEONE" STRAP.
The heel is only 3⁄4" high. This means that the weight of the body is thrown well back and a correct stance is enforced. Almost as good as tho idral-the barefoot stance.
The "DORMEONE" strap acts like a veritable extra ligament, bracing the arch of the foot constantly and taking away the strain of the low heal... It is adjustable both for position and tension, It permits a full day's golf or hiking without foor: fatigue.
