RIPPLE SOLES MAKE
__ HIGH STEPPING EASY
LOS ANGELES, (JP)—TwO toot-i
wear experts don’t claim to have
developed seven-league boots but
they will help the public take a
longer step.
Nathan Hatch, a retired ortho
pedic shoe specialist, and Dr.
Laurence E. Morehouse, research
professor in physiology, stumbled
across what they called “ripple
soles” while searching for a shoe
to cut down the hazards of
broken legs and ankles among
paratroopers.
The new sole, according to its
inventors, cuts the shock of legs
and spine about 40 per cent, gives
the walker a longer stride and re
duces foot fatigue and back ache.
After testing shoes with metal
springs attached, which gave an
undesirable pogo-stick effect, the
two men tried anchoring a sole of
composition rubber in a wrinkled
or corrugated manner on the sole
of an Army boot.
The inventors believe ripple
soles will prove a blessing for
postmen and policemen and others
who spend most of the day on
their feet.
“I think the ripple soles will
find a place in athletic events
too,” said Hatch. “At least it will
relieve the strain on millions of
pairs of feet.” (
