This mode of shoeing has for its inconvenience. Fig. 15. the exposure of the sole to contusions. It supposesan extensive expansion of the foot which is not natu-ral; the horizontal plane is amply sufficient in ordi-nary circumstances. We have, however, used itadvantageously in preventing the pressure of thesole against the shoe by means of a sheet of gutta 125 percha. We have used it in almost complete con-traction, and we think we have noticed, with Hart-mann, that the dilatation once started by a mechan-ical means, not too severely applied, nature continuesit, with the assistance of that style of shoe. Insteadof giving that special shape of the shoe in its entirelength, it has been proposed to have it only at thebranches ; each heel presenting at its internal bor-der a thickness double or even treble that of theexternal, by which the shoe is inclined outwards byits plantar and becomes horizontal by the groundface. It is flat at the toe and the quarters, and isthe shoe with slippers of de la Broue, of Solleysel(fig. 15), and that
