K "PLUS" FITTINGS

COMFORT PLUS STYLE

It is a very simple idea and it is a very practical success. Every K Plus Fitting Shoe has the forepart one fitting wider than the heelpart.

That means that the toes move in perfect comfort while the heel is clasped firmly-no gaping, no slip.

Ask us to prove this to you. You can walk out of the shop in a pair of smart new K Shoes feeling as if you had worn them for weeks..
