    Firm-style bean curd insoles cushion feet, absorb perspiration and provide more protein than meat or fish innersoles of twice the weight. Tofu compresses with use, becoming more pungent and flavorful. May be removed when not in use to dry or marinate. Innersoles are ready to eat after 1,200 miles of wear. Each pair provides adult protein requirement for 2 meals. Insoles are sized large to allow for snacks. Recipe booklet included.

    And the one bird singing alone to his nest,
    And the one star over the tower.
    I thought of our little quarrels and strife,
    And the letter that brought me back my ring;
    And it all seem’d then, in the waste of life,
    “Owen” “Meredith” (1831–1891)
