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

Glory hole for a foot fetishist.

[–] cj2127@lemm.ee 12 points 23 hours ago

The ankle was all he needed.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

You remain the best, The Picard Maneuver

Everyone continues to like you.

The lady's eyes were under their skirts in Victorian times?

Just a single “whispering eye.”

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 64 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Must have been invented by a foot fetishist

who seeks glory

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They'll never know I'm licking their feet now!

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 2 points 21 hours ago

"Oh, sorry, ma'am. I am preparing your foot with a warm sponge. I should have warned you ahead of time."

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

The guy fitting the shoe has a big smile, and it's not his customer service face.

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

We all can see his smile in the picture

[–] CTDummy@lemm.ee 40 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Why oh why is no one concerned about the use of “and” here?

[–] notarobot@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

If they used "or" wouldn't that imply that it only does one at a time?

[–] trapezohedron@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (3 children)

If the sales person doesn't have a foot fetish before they start using that device, they absolutely will by the end of it

Inventor of the 'glory sole'

[–] JeremyHuntQW12@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Cos later on he's going to tie her to a railway track.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Or he just likes the smell. He's got the nose for it.

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 2 points 1 day ago

I actually do this in work (minus the device). My job is wasted on me since I don't have a foot fetish.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

So the woman can't see if the salesman is diddling himself while leering hungrily at her exposed ankle?

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I feel like this isn't real

[–] filcuk@lemmy.zip 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

That whole period of history has to be made up

[–] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

No, I think they meant "this is most likely an AI hallucination, NOT something that actually existed."

[–] notarobot@lemm.ee 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is 100% way more reasonable that letting women put their own shoes.

/s just in case

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How could she put on her own shoes while wearing a corset? Besides, that’s the servants’ job.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

Good point. Also, found the time traveler.

[–] ChanchoManco@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago

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

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This has generated significant interest and discussion, so I'm going to leave this up, but in the future, please submit only photographs and film on this comm.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

"Billingsley! What the devil are you doing with that contraption!?"

  • oh this oh uehm it's for ahhh shoes! Feeet! Yess keeps the devil's thoughts at bay when this thing blocks the vision of anyone using it!! I was just facing toward it to check out the size and the wobbling was me testing the build quality ahh yes!

"But where are your pants? And why does that need to involve your bloody cock and balls!??"

Wonder what her leg is being executed for? What crime did it commit?

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Nothing. It's toetally innocent.

(...I'll see myself out.)

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago

Excessive skin exposure

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 21 hours ago

Is this a new requirement from the US government for shoe stores or is this about history? I'm really unsure

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I thought it was a tail, but then.... Is it a hat?

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

Kinda reminds me of the matrix head tails from 3d pocahontas smurfs

[–] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Al Bundy would have loved one of these
