In the video she reports that a show company in Sedgley has released two controversial lines of shoes to target a "revolutionary and forgotten about market. Suitable for vegans and anyone with feet."

She also states that other new products include "the agnostic Jesus sandals, the rainbow coloured transparent fluffy slippers and the ill-fitting range".

The video refers to the Clarks shoes debate, in which footwear firm Clarks has sparked a sexism row after naming a girls’ shoe range Dolly Babe and a boys’ line Leader.
