I actually remember seeing these dangerous contraptions in shoe shops when I was a kid. I tried to have my feet measured in them as they were curious objects to a boy of my age but it never happened, it seems that by then they were either artifacts left over from a past era or that their dangers had been recognized.

- hilbert42 6y agoI'd think the mid 1950s would be about the time they were phased out. Although I can't say I've ever heard of them being made illegal to use but I suppose they must have been at some time or another.
