(d) A base-iuide hoof requires the surface of support to bewidened upon the inner side of the foot and narrowed upon theouter side, because the inner half of the foot bears the moreweight. A shoe having the peculiarities described in paragraph4:, page 114, accomplishes this end.

In the base-wide position the outer andin the base-narrow position the inner branch should be some-what farther from the median lacuna than the branch of theopposite side.
