I came and signed in, just for the comments. I was not disappointed.

I would say you finally got your due, but so did the good folks at Brannock. Great idea all around. My late mother came up with a slogan for a shoe store in my youth, and I offer it to you freely as a collab ad campaign: “We fit your feet and feature fit.”

I remember using the Brannock device in my youth, just missing the predecessor "Foot-o-scope" which used x-rays to assess foot size, understandably abandoned due to radiation concerns.

I remember the cool feel of the Brannock metal and feeling the little ridges beneath, and then the device that snugged the metatarsal on the inside of the foot to determine the width. Haven't seen one in years. Time for a comeback!

You just wanted an excuse to say, “metatarsal!” (And who could blame you?)

I wavered between the anatomic term and a more descriptive version, i.e. "that place where you get bunions. "

Congratulations, Paul.

Is there another foot measuring device company somewhere unhappy that they didn't get a chance to bid for this partnership?

i was once the "corporate mathematician" for a small auditing firm in Virginia, but it was my uncle's company and he got me a small box of business cards as a gag. now i'm wondering what quirky company i want to be the "official [x] of [y]" with for real.

I still call it IC.

But if I buy a t-shirt with the Brannock device logo on it, wouldn't that change my consumption from inconspicuous to conspicuous?

(I'll show myself out now...)

Depends on which sleeve the ad patch is on.

Congrats. The world's citizens should walk 10,000 Brannocks in your shoes.
