Greetings,
Well that makes more sense. I have never heard of
this before.

By "abnormal" I guess I really mean
"mis-matched" foot sizes.
Some people have feet that are so different in
size that they need to wear vastly different sized shoes on each foot.
(ie: Left size 8, right size 13.) Shoe stores will not break up two
pairs of shoes to sell one of each size to such a customer, since they
know that they will never get rid of the remaining "pair" of shoes. So
people with this problem used to have to buy two pairs of shoes (ie: one
size 8, the other size 13) and then never wear two of the shoes.
Instead, the foundation to which I referred
(sorry, don't remember the name) maintains a database of people's foot
sizes and shoe style preferences. When a member needs to buy a pair of
shoes, they find another member who wants the same pair in the opposite
sizes. Then they buy two pairs of shoes, and each member ends up with
one pair.

If you have an abnormal foot size
why do you need to buy
twice as many shoes as those who do not? I
could understand if you had
an abnormal foot or something which would create
an odd wear pattern on
a certain part of the shoe but would just a
larger foot not wear the
same?
I apologize for this e-mail. It
has nothing to do with
Legos but I had to ask.

Technic "class"
(This idea is stolen from a
foundation that
helps
people with abnormal foot
sizes exchange
leftover shoes so that they don't
need to buy twice as many
pairs as the rest of
us.)
