On the extreme edge of my memories as a yoot. When those shoes fit, they really fit.
They used to make wristwatches with radium dials. Glow in the dark all night. The watches weren't particularly dangerous, but they aren't available generally anymore. Something about the people that painted the radium on there.
While I still have my attention; Those flouroscopes were continously on. You could see your own toes wiggle. Even so, I'd end up with second hand as long as they'd fit; as my deformed toes to this day can attest. Kids these days think they have it tough?

Sure, but were they matching the shoes to the feet or trimming the feet to match the shoes?
