"Dress and Care of the Feet" by John Lord Peck is a book from the 1800's dedicated to the often overlooked aspect of foot health and well-being. Readers are educated on the foot's natural form versus the distorted conditions caused by poor footwear, like corns, bunions, and flat feet. Peck's work serves as a manual for prevention and cure through proper foot care and suitable shoe choices. The author argues that feet are too often improperly cared for, he sets out to correct common misunderstandings about foot comfort and design. Peck goes on to describe how foot problems arise from ill-fitting shoes and ignoring the foot's natural shape. The goal is to educate both those who wear shoes and those who create them, so everyone can work towards feet that are both healthy and look nice.
