Now
in
considering
what
we
should
wear
we
are
compelled
to
adhere,
at
least
to
a
reasonable
extent,
to
what
we
call
style,
but
beyond
this
our
first
thought
must
be
for
bodily
comfort.
And
in
speaking
of
comfort
we
mean
not
only
the
warmth
essential
to
this
but
also
the
ability
to
use
every
part
of
our
bodily
structure
with
as
little
restraint
as
possible.
If
we
could
wear
a
costume
which
would
permit
us
to
feel
just
as
free
and
untrammeled
in
our
movements
as
we
do
when
without
clothing
such
a
form
of
dress
would
be
ideal.
Our
movements
should
not
be
restricted
by
our
clothing
any
more
than
is
absolutely
unavoidable.
The
ordinary
skirt,
supposed
to
be
a
necessary
part
of
feminine
apparel,
Is
in
its
nature
an
evil
of
first
importance.
Every
step
taken
by
a
woman
wearing
such
a
garment
is
hampered;
she
is
continuously
handicapped
by
her
skirt.
If
a
man
were
compelled
to
walk
through
tall,
heavy
grass
all
his
life
he
would
get
some
idea
of
the
extent
to
which
the
feminine
skirt
interferes
with
the
freedom
of
woman.
Numerous
other
defects
of
our
costumes
interfere
with
bodily
freedom.
Take
our
tight
and
ungainly
shoes.
Here
is
an
abominable
instance
of
our
slavery
to
style.
In
most
instances
the
foot
is
made
to
fit
the
shoe,
and
the
suffering
that
is
endured
by
many
so-called
stylish
people
for
the
purpose
of
making
the
foot
fit
the
shoe
would
be
difficult
to
describe.
A
shoe
should
fit
the
foot.
The
more
nearly
you
approximate
the
same
freedom
when
walking
in
a
shoe
as
you
do
when
barefooted
the
more
perfect
the
shoe.
The
toes
should
not
be
squeezed
out
of
shape.
The
great
toe
should
follow
the
straight
line
of
the
inside
of
the
foot
instead
of
being
bent
over
to
the
position
normally
occupied
by
the
middle
toe.
All
the
toes
should
be
allowed
to
spread
out
in
the
shoe,
at
least
to
a
reasonable
extent.
Furthermore,
a
shoe
that
really
fits
should
feel
comfortable
the
first
time
it
is
put
on.
There
should
be
no
necessity
for
"breaking
in"
a
shoe.
