I remember the Buster Browns, and also those x-ray machines...you stood on the platform with your feet inside the machine, press the button on top and you'd look at x-ray pictures of your feet to see how they fit into those new shoes.

Those weren't xray machines, they were fluorscopes, but they were radiation all the same. I had the right side of my thyroid removed in 1975 courtesy of all of those damn Buster Brown shoes! I had to fill out a survey from NIH about what radiation exposure I had had, and I'm positive it was that my family could afford those shoes! And lots of them. Some times, good-sounding ideas have bad consequences.
