The "health shoe - ventilated”

Keeps the foot cool, get rid of burns and bad smells. Try it.
These models, brought to you by the Calzaturificio Alpino, feature a brand new technique in men’s footwear.

The "health shoe - ventilated” allows for the most complete foot ventilation. Prevents overheating and thus eliminates sweat, bad smells and tiredness.
It is the ideal shoe for those who suffer from these disadvantages. The air filters through the holes inserted in the upper, sole and insole, and by forced circulation, cools the foot.

For the summer season, when warm weather and walking make you sick and uncomfortable, try this shoe, the "shoe of health - ventilated”; it will be a relief!
Patent No. 5930-62

It goes without saying it wasn’t “a brand new technique in men’s footwear”, Aerata Medusa did it first back in 1933 but they were done & dusted by the Fourties. Also, someone else invented the same breathable shoe in more recent times.

Ovviamente la scarpa che respira non era affatto una novità: il marchio Aerata Medusa l’aveva brevettata trent’anni prima, ma già’ nel decennio successivo se ne erano perse le tracce. La stessa idea/concetto é stata nuovamente inventata in tempi più recenti.

I can't cry, I can't apply a word to sum it up
Under stress I can't repress the moment it erupts
Hear the sound of paper drums and shredded paper voice
Got to turn up 'Keep Hanging On' as if I had a choice

Prairie fires and pitchfork choirs inspire as they create
Turn it up, It's too far down, until we can relate
Minnesota New Day Rising first day in the store
Take the couch at someone's house and wait around to score

Nervous children making millions: you owe it all to them
Power trios with big-ass deals: you opened for it then
I can see, I can see, I can see it all with my one good eye
For a start take two Grant Harts and call me when you die
