"Dress and Care of the Feet" by John Lord Peck is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The primary focus of this treatise is to address the natural structure of the human foot, its common deformities caused by improper footwear, and to provide guidance on how to prevent or alleviate these conditions. Peck dedicates the work to improving foot health, comfort, and aesthetics, making it relevant to both the general public and those involved in shoemaking. The opening of the book outlines the author's intent to draw attention to common misconceptions and neglect concerning foot health, asserting that feet deserve the same consideration as other body parts. He discusses various deformities such as corns, bunions, and flat feet, attributing these issues to unsuitable shoes and cultural preferences in foot apparel. Peck emphasizes the historical neglect of the foot's design and functionality and sets the stage for detailed exploration of anatomy, shoe construction, and hygiene throughout the following chapters. In this early section, he also hints that proper footwear should allow for natural movement and support, thus ensuring the foot's health and beauty.
