Wesco’s are made from top quality, full grain leather—this adds to the comfort and longevity of the boots. Our bootmakers work as a team, hand-to-hand, and step-by step. It is in this 155-step process that we have earned and maintained our reputation—we don’t take shortcuts or do anything that could compromise the quality of our boots.

Many Wesco customers choose to customize their new boots from a full offering of available options. Whether made as a style preference or to enhance the way the boot functions for the wearer, it’s simply a great way to put a personal spin on a handsome pair of Wesco boots. Keep in mind, not every boot can be customized and some options are only available on certain styles. Wesco Custom Fitting A pair of custom fit Wesco boots can provide a level of comfort rarely experienced in either a boot or a shoe— they are made to conform to the unique contours of your feet and legs. Accuracy of measurements is critically important because they are used to make the pattern. From the pattern, we build the last.

    Sole Training® with Stacey Lei Krauss Sole Training is a foot fitness program based on two sequences. The self –massage sequence is restorative and therapeutic; compare it to a yoga class (for your feet). The standing sequence promotes strength, endurance, flexibility and coordination; compare it to a boot-camp workout (for your feet). These exercises work; we’ve been doing them for over a decade. *The Sole Training® video download is available at willPowerMethod.com What is foot fitness? Building muscular strength, endurance, flexibility and neuro-muscular awareness in the feet and ankles. What are the benefits of foot fitness? According to Vibram FiveFingers®, exercising while barefoot, or wearing minimal shoes provide the following benefits: 1. Strengthens Muscles in the Feet and Lower Legs Wearing minimal shoes, or training barefoot will stimulate and strengthen muscles in the feet and lower legs, improving general foot health and reducing the risk of injury. 2. Improves Range of Motion in Ankles, Feet and Toes No longer 'cast' in a traditional, structured shoe, the foot and toes move more naturally. 3. Stimulates Neural Function Important to Balance and Agility When barefoot or wearing minimal shoes, thousands of neurological receptors in the feet send valuable information to the brain, improving balance and agility. 4. Eliminate Heel Lift to Align the Spine and Improve Posture By lowering the heel, your bodyweight becomes evenly distributed across the footbed, promoting proper posture and spinal alignment. 5.

    © 2018. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd | Journal of Experimental Biology (2018) 221, jeb174425. doi:10.1242/jeb.174425 REVIEW Rethinking the evolution of the human foot: insights from experimental research Nicholas B. Holowka* and Daniel E. Lieberman* ABSTRACT presumably owing to their lack of arches and mobile midfoot joints Adaptive explanations for modern human foot anatomy have long for enhanced prehensility in arboreal locomotion (see Glossary; fascinated evolutionary biologists because of the dramatic differences Fig. 1B) (DeSilva, 2010; Elftman and Manter, 1935a). Other studies between our feet and those of our closest living relatives, the great have documented how great apes use their long toes, opposable apes. Morphological features, including hallucal opposability, toe halluces and mobile ankles for grasping arboreal supports (DeSilva, length and the longitudinal arch, have traditionally been used to 2009; Holowka et al., 2017a; Morton, 1924). These observations dichotomize human and great ape feet as being adapted for bipedal underlie what has become a consensus model of human foot walking and arboreal locomotion, respectively. However, recent evolution: that selection for bipedal walking came at the expense of biomechanical models of human foot function and experimental arboreal locomotor capabilities, resulting in a dichotomy between investigations of great ape locomotion have undermined this simple human and great ape foot anatomy and function. According to this dichotomy. Here, we review this research, focusing on the way of thinking, anatomical features of the foot characteristic of biomechanics of foot strike, push-off and elastic energy storage in great apes are assumed to represent adaptations for arboreal the foot, and show that humans and great apes share some behavior, and those unique to humans are assumed to be related underappreciated, surprising similarities in foot function, such as to bipedal walking.

    COMPILERS NOTES The following is a faithful digitalization of volume VI of F.Y. Golding’s BOOTS AND SHOES. I have taken the liberty of using this original blank page to comment on the material within. Insofar as I was able, I have endeavoured to preserve the original appearance, formatting, kerning, spacing, etc,. of the original work. Sometime, however, this was simply not possible. The typefaces used in the original text are not precisely duplicated in any of the font sets to which I have access. Then too, the spacing between chapter, paragraph, and graphic elements is often inconsistent within the original text. Sometimes a chapter heading will be set an inch and a quarter below the edge of the page, sometime an inch and a half. Sometimes, using a given set of paragraph styles, a page would format almost to the exact word at the bottom margin...and then the next page would run over or come up substantially short. Nevertheless, I have preserved page numbers and the contents of those pages to fairly close extent. Beyond that, nothing has been added or subtracted from the text as it is contained in the original volumes in my possession.

    When the War Ended in 1945, Europe Turned to the Task of Rebuilding, and Americans Once Again Looked West for Inspiration

    When the war ended in 1945, Europe turned to the task of rebuilding, and Americans once again looked west for inspiration. The swagger of the cowboy fitted the victorious mood of the country. Dude ranches were now a destination for even the middle class. Hopalong Cassidy and the puppet cowboy Howdy Doody kept children glued to their televisions, and Nashville’s country music industry produced one ‘rhinestone cowboy’ after another. Westerns were also one of the most popular film genres. As the movie director Dore Schary noted, ‘the American movie screen was dominated by strong, rugged males – the “one punch, one [gun] shot variety”.’43 In this milieu, cowboy boots became increasingly glamorous. Exagger- atedly pointed toes, high-keyed coloured leathers, elaborate appliqué and even actual rhinestone embellishments were not considered excessive. This period has been called the golden age of cowboy boots, and the artistry and imagination expressed in late 1940s and 1950s boot-making is staggering. The cowboy boot was becoming part of costume, a means of dressing up, of playing type. This point was made clear by the popularity of dress-up cowboy clothes, including boots, for children. Indeed, this transformation into costume was becoming the fate of many boots in fashion. Although most boot styles fell out of fashion in the 1950s, in the immediate post-war period a particular form of military footwear did pass into men’s stylish casual dress: the chukka boot, said to have come from India, and its variant, the desert boot. Designed as a low ankle boot with a two to three eyelet closure, chukkas were said to have been worn for comfort by British polo players both on and off the field in India.44 The simple desert boot was based on the traditional chukka but in Cairo during the war it was given a crepe sole and soft suede upper.

    Manicure and Pedicure Services 77 Respiratory Venous Arterial

    Manicure and 3 Pedicure Services INTRODUCTION The two most common services that are provided by beauty parlours are ‘manicure’ and ‘pedicure’. A Beauty Therapist is expected to be proficient in providing these services. ‘Manicure’ is a treatment that improves the appearance of nails and hands, and softens them, whereas, ‘pedicure’ has the same impact on feet. Since manicure and pedicure relax the muscles and skin of the hand and feet, respectively, it is important to understand some basics about the anatomy of the hand and feet. The Beauty Therapist, in particular, must know about the following: • anatomical structure, functions and characteristics of nails, and the process of nail growth. The structure of the nail includes: ▫ Nail root matrix ▫ Nail mantle ▫ Nail plate ▫ Nail wall ▫ Nail grooves ▫ Nail bed ▫ Lunula ▫ Free edge ▫ Hyponychium ▫ Cuticle • anatomical structure of the skin and its functions. NOTES The structure of the skin includes: ▫ layers of the epidermis — dermis and subcutaneous layer ▫ hair follicle, hair shaft, sebaceous gland, arrector pili muscle, sweat gland and sensory nerve endings • names and position of bones in the lower leg and feet • names and position of bones in the wrist, hands, fingers and forearm • structure and functions of lymphatic vessels in the lower leg, feet, hands and arms • position of arteries and veins in the lower leg, feet, hands and arms • location of muscles in the lower leg, feet, hands and arms • nail diseases and disorders • nail and skin analysis by visual or manual examination to identify treatable conditions and contra-indications, restricting or preventing a service SESSION 1: ANATOMY OF THE NAIL, HAND AND FEET Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body of humans and animals, what it is made of, i.e., bones, muscles and skin.
