Must have been invented by a foot fetishist

who seeks glory

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

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

We all can see his smile in the picture

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

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

[–] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 57 points 3 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 3 months ago

Just a single “whispering eye.”

[–] CTDummy@lemm.ee 40 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] notarobot@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

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

[–] trapezohedron@lemmy.world 28 points 3 months 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 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

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

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months 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 3 points 3 months ago

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

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 25 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Glory hole for a foot fetishist.

[–] cj2127@lemm.ee 12 points 3 months ago

The ankle was all he needed.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

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

[–] notarobot@lemm.ee 20 points 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months ago

Good point. Also, found the time traveler.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months 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!??"

You remain the best, The Picard Maneuver

Everyone continues to like you.

[–] ChanchoManco@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago

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

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Nothing. It's toetally innocent.

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

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 5 points 3 months ago

Excessive skin exposure

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months 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.

[–] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Al Bundy would have loved one of these

I feel like this isn't real

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

That whole period of history has to be made up

[–] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

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

[–] thorhop@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 months ago

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

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months 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.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months 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 0 points 3 months ago

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

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

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