#shoes

A fluoroscope was a metal construction covered in timber approximately 4 feet (1.2 m) high in the shape of short column, with a ledge with an opening where the child (or the adult customer) would then place his or her feet in the opening provided and while remaining in a standing position, look through a viewing porthole at the top of the fluoroscope down at the x-ray view of the feet and shoes. Two other viewing portholes on either side enabled the parent and a sales assistant to observe the child's toes being wiggled to show how much room for the toes there was inside the shoe. The bones of the feet were clearly visible, as was the outline of the shoe, including the stitching around the edges. The exposure time would have been around 15 seconds.

"They're just as comfortable when you're walking as they are when you're biking, so they make good commuters, errand-running shoes and recreational cycling shoes."

"Because of the structure of the boot, removing and putting it on requires the greatest looseness to be located at the midpoint of the ankle joint..."

"One day, all shoelaces will be tied this way"

"Adbusters has been doing R&D for more than a year, and guess what? Making a shoe - a good shoe - isn't exactly rocket science." Strange... they look almost *exactly* like Converse sneakers.
