Im not usualy one to notice small stuff like this but... On the bottom of
my Torches the large white logo on the right shoe in more verticle and on the left shoe the logo is rotated more. Its easy to see if you compare side by side.

Isn't that just because like most shoes the toes curve inward a little to follow the shape of your foot?

well i thought that but then shouldnt the logo be proportional to the angle of the logo on the right foot? Its not a anything monumental just kind of odd that its not symetrical

Ah, I see what you mean now. . . that's an optical illusion created by the fact that the H of the Heely's Logo is already skewed such that the orientation you are imagining as the "straight" orientation of the logo is actually not so - It confused me for a while when I was playing with adjusting/rotating the Heelys Logo to make wallpapers.

Basically, the logo's on your Torches ARE relatively proportional to the angle at which your feet would usually be when standing at rest, feet in a V slightly outward, so when you put the shoes in parallel one logo or the other must look skewed. It's a bit like the Leaning Tower Illusion.

I'd take a pic to show how to align the shoes so the logo's no longer look skewed, but my cam broke, so until I can afford to get a new one you'll have to trust me. Very Happy
