      So it’s his fault for creating foot fetishists and the reason I had to fire someone when they kept asking other employees for feet pics.

    Definitely wasn’t inventing gloryholes and had to come up with an alternative explanation when the boss walked in. We’ve all been there.

    Didn’t the woman care about how the shoe looked on her? The device seems to also block the view for her.

      It’s not being executed, just humiliated in front of all the other feet.

      The other feet can like throw socks at it or something.

      I think that is an actual hood! It would basically be an old style cloth long cap, done extra long and then wrapped around the neck.

    Walking around to test the shoes was almost impossible, but usually gathered a little crowd to cheer the lassie on.
