Broken: Shoe-sale racks

Kathy Setzer from Frog Design writes: Retailers almost always rack their sale shoes from smallest size (at the top) to largest size (at the bottom). The problem? Those of us women with small feet tend to have the short legs to match! So we stand on tip toes and crane our necks to see the bargains in our sizes while presumably taller women bend farther down to retrieve their sale shoes from the rack.
