Digitally customized men's dress shoes coming

Have you ever had a shoe that felt like it was made for your foot? Clark has been a longtime fan of mass customization. For example, Nike has been making sneakers that are customized as far as the look and styling goes. But now there's a company coming to United States called Left Foot that will do the same for the world of men's dress shoes. Left Foot starts by taking a digital picture of your feet. Then you have your pick of more than 300 styles of footwear, including golf shoes. The end result is a shoe that fits you perfectly down to every last dimension. Forbes has already reported on how people are raving about this company. But at $300/pair, these shoes are way out of Clark's price range. The rich who become early adopters of this technology will help the rest of us out by driving future prices down. Meanwhile, Clark paid about $15 for his dress shoes. They've lasted forever -- probably because he wears sneakers every day of the year!

This week's poll
NYC health inspectors have been handing out violations to chain restaurants that don't post calorie counts on their menus. What's your take on this?
I believe in what the inspectors are doing. Long live the food police.
This isn't a legitimate function of gov't-paid employees.
I couldn't care less. I'd be eating at home to save money!
