"Shod" may not be a word you want to use in mail-order shoes, since one suspects "dy" is right behind. I love the JUNIOR POLICE brand, but you have to admire the Frau Bucher-style Kangaroos, "17% tougher than any other leather."

Seventeen percent! Exactly! Modern technology shown off at the Chicago World's Fair shows just how science is calibrating shoe toughness with X-rays!
