There Is Absolutely No need for women to wear heavy, stiff shoes to get real comfort, for the Medcalf shoe provides as much real genuine foot comfort as any shoe made and they are made of beautiful soft velvety kid uppeF*Stock while the soles are light and flexible. The Medcalf shoe we are referring to is* made with Inside wedge and arch support, in fact it contains everything that a good shoe should have. More­ over they are not expensive, namely $6.00 per pair, and we question if they can be beaten at the price by any Canadian made shoe. Many wo­ men in and around'Wingham wear nothing but Medcalf.
