    Back in the early days of x-ray technology some shoe stores would x-ray customers’ feet to make sure the shoes fit right

    I actually miss those days. I picked a style and it was their job to go get it and try it on me. I just had to sit.

    Now we just guess and if we’re wrong we have our slaves in India make us new ones repeat until we realize the brand doesn’t make shoes that fit. try a new brand send them back because we had our heart set on the other ones so we just use one of our other 50 pairs, glad we moved past that archaic machine.

      yep. if you had to go to a cobbler to get your shoes to fit, and each pair costed a month’s wages, we’d probably value a vendor who was an actual expert at the vocation.

        My store is amazon so no not really and also this is better than sticking your foot in the same Condom shoe as nine other guys.
