Comment on great shoe idea

  I had this idea years ago for some thing I was writing, but figured it would depend on weight of person and type of ground to get the animal prints with no surrounding human footprint.

  I eventually settled on backward-soled shoes, so that it always looks like you’re going the other way.

    I recall the old show Beastmaster was chasing a dryad or something and she left backwards tracks.

    Other people were like “the tracks are going the other way!” And he had to explain that she’s tricky like that.

    The Unabomber had a similar idea.

    Couldn’t you still easily tell which side of the print got the initial impact of the heel and which side has the curve of the toes? Again, depending on weight of person and type of ground, but I think it would look off even to a layperson.

  Why are there always three paw prints together?! Must be some hopping tripedal bunny dog :)

  We may be over thinking this
