Thefewer and smaller the nails driven, the better, providing they aresufficient to hold the shoe. But much will depend, in doing this,on the accuracy of the fitting, thickness of the wall, and weightof the shoe. If the nails are driven well back on the outer quarter, andonly round in the toe of the inner side, for the purpose of affordingmore freedom to the quarters, it will be found that as the footgrows, the shoe will be carried to the outside quarter and toe tosuch an extent that the inner heel of the shoe will be drawn insideof the wall at the heel, and rest upon the sole, causing a bruise orcorn. In addition, so much of the shoe being left unnailed, makesit liable to get loose and work under the quarter, which wouldcause a rapid wearing or l^reaking down of structure. All thin
