Fun Facts
- Shoe stores don't serve the Shoe Goblin and Bigfoot.
- The Shoe Goblin is a member of the Shoe Bank, his credit card number is 5403 5403 5403 5403 and expires in October 2007.
- If you turn each number around 180 degrees, it would resemble "ShOE ShOE ShOE ShOE".
- At this shoe store, you have to sign a contract to buy shoes.
- However, the contract might only be required when purchasing extraordinarily large shoes, such as ones whose mere weight could destabilise the planet's orbit when improperly handled.
- More likely, it's just the IOU signature required for credit card transactions by most non-online merchants.
