Anyone notice that some (not all) of the Barefoot in Paradise "feet" have 6 toes? One of the two tags shown at the bottom, and also all 4 feet in the photo at the bottom. Easy enough to do nowadays with photoshop, but kinda cool if that photo is old. Maybe Isamu had 12 toes? Also, Hang Ten was around and had their feet logo before the 70s, so I wonder if buying the logo was just to resolve a trademark dispute or something. -Randy
