A private citizen, C. Watford Sinclair, offered the suggestion in a letter to the popular weekly Picture Post. Fresh from a tour of Portugal, Austria, “and several other continental countries where many of the women habitually go barefoot,” he wrote: “A barefoot fashion for girls (in this country) would be both healthy and attractive, as I can testify from observing the girls of the above countries, who have shapely feef unspoilt by shoes, and whose carriage is the most graceful in the world.” There was a quick poll of wom en readers of the magazine. “Isn’t that exactly like a man?” demanded a smart young woman in suede pumps. “Shopping for shoes is the most exciting part of picking a wardrobe It’s one of the few pleasures we have left.” / “Look All Sloppy” “Gosh,” said a housewife in san dals, “the girls would get flat-foot ed and look all sloppy. I like to go barefooted but — well, it’s too not on your feet, for one thing ” “We mighi just as well be bare foot as the way we are, coming through the soles of what few shoes we have,” snapped a telephone girl in cracked footgear. Shoes are rationed here and the ration was tightened only today. “Heaven help the public if the English woman took off her shoes,” exclaimed a girl reporter. “We’ve been wearing cheap shoes, in the wrong sizes, for so long that our feet are a mass of corns, bunions, blisters and chilblains.” A foot specialist (male) said that the barefoot fashion, in moderation, might be healthful for some % om en.
