The Economy of K Shoes

It is because they fit "better" that K Pius Fitting Shoes stay "Fit."

Wear imposes no unnatural "strain on K Plus Fitting Shoes. They bend where your foot bends, so they don't crack or sag. The heels are a fitting narrower than the foreparts, and that is why they fit snugly at the ankles yet leave comfortable room for the toes.

After months of wear K Plus Fittings are still new looking." That is their economy-they
