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.
