Before the invention of the K Plus Fitting System, numbers of people had to make up their minds where they preferred their shoes not to fit--across the toes or round the heel. It is surprising how many men have very slim heels in comparison with the breadth of their tread.

But nowadays you are sure to get a perfect fit in K Plus Fitting Shoes. They are made with heel parts one itting, narrower then the foreparts (see diagram). You. see the idea, of course-an extra close fit round the heel and at the same time room for the toes to move in comfort. That is why you feel so well shod when wearing Ks.
