Take Off Your Shoes and Walk

ROBERT J. HAGGERTY M.D.

"Babies appear to have flat feet because of the thick layer of baby fat present in every infant's arch. . . ."

"Because of poor feet, countless of Americans have posture distortions, are usually fatigued and become prone to degenerative illnesses."
