Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tackles a surprisingly complex and important topic: the design of shoes. The author, a professor of anatomy, argues that the conventional shoe shape, dictated by fashion rather than anatomical principles, can cause a range of foot deformities and related health problems. He analyzes the structure and mechanics of the foot, revealing how the pressure exerted by improperly shaped shoes can lead to conditions such as ingrown toenails, bunions, and flat feet. The author positions his observations within a broader historical context, noting that prominent anatomists like Peter Camper and Sommering had previously raised concerns about the negative effects of restrictive clothing, especially on women's bodies. This book builds upon their work by focusing specifically on the foot and offering a detailed anatomical argument for the need for a more functional shoe design. Through a blend of anatomical expertise and practical advice, the author presents a clear and convincing case for reform. He delves into the reasons behind common foot problems, explaining how these arise from the misuse of the foot and the pressure exerted by poorly designed shoes. This book offers a unique perspective on a seemingly mundane subject, demonstrating how the seemingly simple act of wearing shoes can have significant implications for health and well-being. The author's detailed analysis serves as a call to action, urging readers to consider the crucial link between shoe design and foot health. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282377434_0
