I was telling my wife about buying shoes at Buster Brown's when I was a kid and this machine that X-rayed your feet. She didn't believe me so I looked it up.
This could explain a lot! LMAO
In the late 1940's and early 1950's, the shoe-fitting x-ray unit was a common shoe store sales promotion device and nearly all stores had one. It was estimated that there were 10,000 of these devices in use.
