FAVOURITE TYPES OF BOOTS ON THE MARKET Mens boots as made in Canada, much more closely approximate to the bootsin use here than do womens boots. In general shape of boot, there is not a great dealto distinguish an American or Canadian shoe from a Belgian, although Belgiannewsboys selling the Paris edition of the Chicago Tribune and New Tprh Heraldpick out their customers by their boots with perfect success. The American boot isusually more pointed, is longer, and to our eye has more pleasing lines. Whilemany Belgian boots approach these lines closely—indeed some Belgian manuf acturersadvertise American styles,—yet the shoe in common use here tends more to a typeembodying a short toe-cap, with an opening lacing down very far towards the toe,separated from it by a very narrow strip only. These are almost always Balmorals,Richelieus or Derbys, Blutchers coming only in the cheaper shoes. Below are shown a few illustrations of Belgian boots popular on this market, withretail prices. 4
