Still Waters Posted April 25, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2015 An entrepreneur has engineered a sandal, called The Shoe That Grows, that expands with a child in order to prevent them from growing out of them so quickly. It's an incredible idea no matter where you live, but it's particularly important in countries such as Kenya, where many families can't afford to replace shoes every couple of months. http://www.scienceal...row-out-of-them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie_Dwarf Posted April 25, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2015 My first thought was, "what's so special about expanding five sizes? My stomach has done that." Having read the article it seems like a good idea. Some children grow at an alarming rate, knowing that their footwear is not too small will be one less problem for parents.

bubblykiss Posted April 25, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Whatever happened to the days when you could just wrap your children's feet in slaves? I mean family values comparable to High Roman Imperial Recovery Era where you could bath your maiden daughters in the blood of a freshly slain bull, watch oddly armed men publicly battle all manner of lemurs and ostrich like beasts all while munching on deep fried eagle tongues or honey poached mice nipples. When I hear children talking about their crocs....well when they are able to pull their faces away from the many machines, devices and distractions that we have created to eat up their energy and creativity....oh youtube turned 10? Guess I know what I am doing all day today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
