deltoid

I don't know what sort of training people who work in the child-sections of shoe shops receive these days but I think they need to pay a little more attention to looking at the feet they're measuring, so that they can not act all puzzled when the width-measurement system is questioned on the grounds that the bit of the foot they measure is clearly not the widest part of the foot being measured. I'd like to avoid the wingpiglet suffering the same toe-suppression that my feet exhibit, but until we find someone who is prepared to look at the wee width-measuring band and realise "oh. yes. the toes keep going out, whereas all our shoes start going in again at that point. bugger." he's likely to end up with deflected little toes and diverted big toes and the world will be a poorer place for them.
