When examined from the side, the anterior sur-face should form an angle of about forty-five degrees with the lineof the sole, and the upper edge or coronary band should join thesole, so as to leave a moderate substance at the heel; for if toogreat the foot does not expand, and is liable to disease from thatcause; or if too thin and narrow, the foot is weak and gives waydownwards, ending in a convexity of the sole instead of thereverse.
