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.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #at:aadl #fluoroscope #imported:pinboard #shoes #via:textfiles #xrays</p> Thu, 24 May 2012 02:58:41 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:21860 at:aadl fluoroscope imported:pinboard shoes via:textfiles xrays http://wins.failblog.org/2011/10/15/epic-win-photos-alien-heel-win <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #aliens #scifi #shoes</p> Sat, 15 Oct 2011 11:00:00 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:19002 aliens scifi shoes http://www.yousaytoo.com/user/keita/3445 <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #nifty #shoes #sneakers</p> Sun, 07 Oct 2007 18:41:55 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:9733 nifty shoes sneakers http://bikemart.com/itemdetails.cfm?catalogId=39&id=1605 "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."<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #biking #shoes #wishlist</p> Tue, 29 May 2007 07:32:57 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:9136 biking shoes wishlist http://www.bootdog.com/bal.html "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..."<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #clothes #fashion #nifty #shoes</p> Sun, 30 May 2004 20:34:17 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:2635 clothes fashion nifty shoes http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ianknot.htm "One day, all shoelaces will be tied this way"<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #clothes #fashion #nifty #shoes</p> Sun, 30 May 2004 20:28:33 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:2634 clothes fashion nifty shoes http://blackspotsneaker.org/home2.html "Adbusters has been doing R&D for more than a year, and guess what?
