Buying a single shoe?

[Stupeo]

So, I was at the supermarket earlier and in front of me at the checkout was an old lady in a wheel chair. She had her left leg amputated some years back and ever since she said she's been trying to find some place that sells single shoes. She reckons she has dozens of left shoes that have never been worn - some of which are worth a bit of money she said.

Surely a gap in the market for someone?

Can't someone in the medical profession put her in touch with someone with the opposite problem ?

Pair up and split the costs.


(Fights hard to avoid any reference to George Spiggot or NTNON. Fails).

I could do with two left shoes for every one right. Drag my left leg so much it wears it out in no time.

Steal them from outside a shoe shop?

It's years since I've seen a shoe shop with racks of single shoes outside

No match for "AMPUSHARE.COM".

I think there is / was a group for people who have one foot bigger than the other, they did a matching scheme so you could find someone with the other foot bigger than the one. Maybe they do a one leg thing as well?

I was thinking about this exact same thing the other day. Maybe this is the reason you only see one shoe at the side of the road?
