About The Author

Supplement:

Updated in 2024!

This supplement remains as a work in progress. It is the compendium of only those nineteenth century photographic cases which I have deemed worthy of recording and which I have seen since 2016 when the third edition of my book Nineteenth Century Photographic Cases and Wall Frames was published.

Undoubtedly more items will surface in the future but the rate at which this is happening has slowed to less than a trickle. Certainly, it would have been better and more convenient for the user had I integrated them into the third edition. Such would have required revising the total page layout of that text, a tremendous task of time, energy and expense. The resulting volume would be close to eight hundred pages and cost of production would render the final product cost prohibitive to the buyer. Also, there would be little demand for it especially from those who already have the last edition. Perhaps in the future the original work can be divided into two volumes with the supplementary material included in the appropriate page location. All references to the 3rd edition refer to that printing of Nineteenth Century Photographic Cases and Wall Frames.

Great product to keep moisture in
Size: M (up to size 9)-Beige
These are so cool. I was skeptical at first. After an at home pedicure I put lotion on and keep these on for about a few hours. The moisture retention, and comfort and fit or absolutely amazing!

These work!
Size: M (up to size 9)-Beige
I’ve had dry cracked feet my whole life. Tried these last night with lotion from Trader Joe’s and literally overnight my feet are the softest they’ve ever been. I put a pair of socks over them and went to sleep with them on. Hard to walk around with all that slippery-ness but worth it! 10/10✨👌

They work! Even if you hate socks
I am not a sock wearer. Can't stand having my foot entirely shrouded in cloth. I don't wear socks with my sandals, slides, clogs and other shoes most of the year. Only on the coldest winter days. I know, It's weird. So, with my sock phobia one thing that happens is your heals get dry and rough. I opted to try these because the toes are free. I barely notice the socks on my heels/ankles when my toes get air (outside of bedcovers always). I put good thick lotion on my heels and sides of feet. A little less on the toes so they don't stain anything. The silicone lining on the heel holds that lotion against the affected areas. In a couple days my feet felt soft and looked pretty. No cracks, no white roughness. They look pink and freshly spa-ed. Fit is good on size 9 feet with thickish ankles. Highly recommend.

Nice Socks, Bad Shipping
The socks are definitely worth the price. They are cozy and non constructive. They colors are nice. My only complaint is the method in which it was shipped. Slapping a mailing label on a clear bag is not acceptable. The shipper didn't consider protecting my privacy. I hate to think if it was something extremely private. Consumers deserve better when it comes to the content of their mail.

There’s room for improvement
These heel support socks are quite comfortable to wear, the cotton blend fabric is soft and breathable. The built-in gel continuously moisturizes the heels, and the effect is more noticeable than applying lotion alone. I usually soak my feet in warm water before bed, apply lotion, and then use these socks. The elasticity is just right, and they don't constrict my feet. If the gel coverage area were a bit larger, the protection would be more comprehensive. Overall, they offer good value for money and are a practical foot care item.
