Does anyone remember buying shoes in the 1950s?
I remember going with my dad to the shoe shop in Northfield (not Huins Shoes, the other one near Woolies) where for a while at least there was an X Ray box that I was told to poke both feet into.
When I stretched to look into a what the butler saw arrangement in the top I could see my toes, and toe bones wriggling around inside the outline of my shoes, all bathed in an eerie green light.
All designed to see if they fitted properly of course, I wonder why they stopped using them ......................?
