There was a motorized version. You put foot in and metal squares closed down on your door side to side then front to back displaying the needed shoe size.

It seems to me that I’ve used this, but I have no specific memory of being on one. I know I saw them in shoe/dept. stores, and it looks like they phased them out in the ‘70s.
That inspired me to remember these in dept stores, Western Autos, Radio Shacks, etc……

Who remembers Romper Room? You know the children's show with the woman with the magic mirror who said see Billy, I see Gibby, I see Sukie (sukie stop playing with your dinger. . . )
No? How about the Elephant Show?
How about Astroboy?
What about You Can't Do that on Television (SNL for Children?)
What about SCTV? SNL for Canadians, and in some ways even more hilarious
Who remembers In Search of with Leonard Nimoy?
How about the Bullwinkle Show? What about the Bullwinkle Puppet?

Who wore a WWJD bracelet or knew someone who did? If you wore one when did you realize you were a douche (I realized I was in 1998), and if you didn't when did you realize that people who did were unlikable assholes?
Anyone remember the 80s and 90s when we reached peak evangelical Christianity and yet if you were in those circles you could have sworn that white straight Christian middle class American men were the most persecuted people on the planet? You know the days? When 84% of the nation claimed to be a Christian of some sort? They didn't live it, but they claimed it
Who remembers the faith healers and televangelists of the 80s and 90s? Who was your favorite scumbag. To me it will always be Peter Popoff, the man who spoke to God, who sounded exactly like Petey's wife, at 19.7 megahertz. Remember Jimmy Swaggart? He's still on the air. Then there was Oral Roberts, the only man to ever gain weight on a hunger strike. Benny Hinn of course. Jim and Tammy Faye Baker, my God what the fuck was in her mascara? Then there was Bob Tilton, but about Brother Bob, well any of them, do you think they really believed what they said they did, did they just turn evil at some point or were they always scumbags. . . .
Who remembers the Moonies? No not, PMoon6, but the unification church. I did a spring break trip with friends to Boulder, CO in 2004 and stayed at the house that used to belong to them. Close circuit tvs everywhere and just all in all very creepy.
Note: I am not bashing Christians here, I still am one, I am just remembering a time from the 80s and 90s when this country was extremely evangelical Christians.

Never heard of it!
They still have those in most shoe stores and departments
