Footwear and foot care in military life

Edward Lyman Munson’s handbook examines how footwear and foot care relate to soldiers’ ability to march and serve in war conditions. Its chapter topics move from foot anatomy and injuries to military shoe design, fitting, supply, socks, and the care of both feet and shoes. That practical scope makes the book a historical document about the equipment and routines associated with military service, as well as a focused study of military footwear. This edition also includes a new introduction on the history of shoemaking.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in historical military equipment and footwear
  • Collectors of vintage literature
  • Those studying historical approaches to podiatry and foot care

Book overview

The Soldier's Foot and the Military Shoe is a fascinating and informative treatise on the importance of footwear for soldiers and military personnel, with chapters on preventing and treating related injuries, foot anatomy, characteristics required for a military boot, caring for and maintaining the foot in war conditions, and much more. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in historical military footwear, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. Contents include: "Foot Injuries and Marching Capacity", "The Anatomy and Use of the Foot", "The Military Shoe", "The Fitting of Military Shoes", "Shoe Supply", "The Care of the Feet", "The Sock", and "The Care of the Shoes". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality addition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of shoemaking.
