K Plus Fittings

"Plus Fours for the Feet" is a phrase which stands for a new principle in K shoe fitting--a principle which has given to the K wearer that perfect trim and shapely fit which before belonged only to shoes "made 'to measure."

By combining two fittings in one shoe...a 4 fitting heel-part with a 5 fitting fore-part, for instance--you ensure a close clip to the ankle, together with perfect comfort for the toes.

The diagram illustrates a Plus 4 fitting. For those with a slimmer foot, there is the Plus 3 fitting, a normal fore-part with a narrow heel.

Ask the K Agent to test your foot with K Plus fitting shoes, and remember that, if yours is not a Plus-fitting foot, there are still available the various standard K fittings.
