Are you old enough to remember .....
 

When shoe shops had feet x ray machines so you could check if your shoes fitted properly :skull:

I do :shocked:

Can't you find out by trying them on

that's too easy

No :shocked:
That seems crazy

Ive never heard of such a thing.

Are you from a parallel world?

A what! A, pedo scope. Am I reading that right?

:laugh:

But no sorry BOTS even I'm not that old :fan:

No

i remember the one on the right tho

The one on the right yes, think that was still going when my kids got their school shoes

It was clarks shoe shops where i remember seeing them and I think i was bombarded with x rays on a couple of occasions :laugh:

That is so strange, you would expect that kind of advancement now, not some staff member pressing the tops of your shoes to find your toes

Yeah I wonder why they stopped? Too much time and effort maybe?

its dangerous to have too many x rays, and you can bet the machines weren't shielded correctly, so the shop assistants were probably being irradiated on a daily basis

oh god yeah, i didn't even think of that :skull:

Yes a Gimmick that had Real Danger

There was also a thing in Clarks that you put your foot in, like a box, and from all 4 sides meta came out till it hit your foot and it measured your width and size. I used to like that.

Haha, no. Sounds like a 1950s sci-fi movie. :p

The x-ray showed they fitted in the right places and did not put pressure on bones and cause damage.

Yes me too...

What about Kunzel Cakes !!??

Both ... my uncle ( and his brother ) ran the local shoe shop :)

Good job as well as I was always wearing out my pumps / plimsolls ( before trainers had been invented) and footie boots

They still have those ones at the right at Clarks not quite the same as that but still a big plastic measuring contraption that really scared my kids no idea why
