The discovery of a human foot in a running shoe on the Seattle waterfront this week is at least the 15th such appendage found along the Pacific Northwest coastline since 2007. The human foot in a white New Balance tennis shoe was found Tuesday morning on the shore at Centennial Park, just north of downtown.

This is really puzzling.
“All of the feet have been found within about 125 miles of one another,” she noted.McClintock said that coroner’s officials there have managed to match all but two of the recovered feet to victims, providing closure to their families. In one case, she said, they were able to confirm the death of a fisherman who had vanished in 1987 – 25 years before his foot was found.
“You don’t get to have too many happy stories if you are in the coroner’s service,” she said. “This is about as happy as it gets.”
Wow - the stuff you can find in the Pike Place Market these days....
Sounds like an episode of Bones where they brought in that really irritating foot specialist from Canada.
So... Happy Feet?
*Groan*
So Wierd. They claim this is not suspicious; that 11 of the feet were from accidents or suicides because the shoe caused the foot to float. Why don’t feet wash ashore every day then? Why all of a sudden this happens in the last few years? There are questions here. I don’t accept their explanation.
More people wearing tennis shoes more often?
So you think something sneakery is going on, er, coming off?
Yes, I call BS.
Grabs bag of Fritos and looks for comfortable seat. .
Suicide bridge jumpers, or Dexter Morgan.
If the shoe fits ...
An idea for Christmas! A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer.
This is what happens if you never wash your sneakers.
That’s funny. I could just sneaker. Sounds like you gotta shoe them away from this thread.
***It’s as if they have no sole.**
A bunch of heels.
Damn, not again.
