| TEXT | The efforts that have been made towards making improvements in the construction of boots and shoes, have resulted in no little benefit to humanity. Prominent among those who have achieved success in this particular la Mr. J. Hoppe, surgeon shoemaker. This gentleman has made a life-long study of the human foot and is an authority upon all matters connected with the making of foot-wear. Hia boots and shoes are constructed upon anatomical principles, and he has so carried these principles into the making of infants' shoes as to greatly facilitate their learning to walk. These shoes are made to conform to the shape of the foot, and are supplied with a low, broad heel; the result of wearing these shoes when learning to walk is that the child treads squarely and correctly, and by keeping the bones of the feet where nature intended and giving the muscles and ligaments freedom of action they enable the feet to develop in beautiful proportions with the Spanish arched instep, so much admired. The shoe usually worn by infants is merely a covering for the foot, and by trying to wear these heelless and soleless appendages the strain comes necessarily on the wrong part of the foot. In wearing Mr. Hopps' invention the body is supported by the ligaments and bones of the foot, and not by the ankle; moreover, a child by wearing these shoes from infancy up never fails to have perfect feet both in form and action. An idea may be formed of the standing and scientific ability of Mr. Hopps, when it is stated that he makes shoes for the patients attending Dr. Taylor's Orthopedic Institute, located at Sixth Avenue and 53d Street. This institution deservedly stands at the head, and all deformities of the most complicated nature are treated there. Independent of his specialties, a large business is done in custom work for ladies and gentlemen, and the same principle applied to infants is carried out in the making of boots and shoes for adults. One of the most difficult features in the business is the adaptation of properly-shaped lasts for differently-shaped feet. Nothing but patience and skill, united with genius, will accomplish this result and give shoes comfortable in use as well as beautiful in form. A good deal of trouble and annoyance is saved to patrons by the system of preserving the patterns and lasts. One measurement will last for years, no matter what the diversity in style. Besides waiting on customers at their residences Mr. Hopps is in constant receipt of measures by mail from all parts of the Union. Mr. Hopps is a native of New York, and is esteemed for his sterling integrity and affable and courteous manners. He can refer to some of the best citizens in New York for corroboration to all here said, and the house can be safely recommended to fie public as dealing only in first-class goods at moderate prices. |
