Kaitlin, in need of a spare computer borrows her husband Rich's laptop from his office. She has never used it before. He apparently uses it a lot but she hardly sees him use it. She opens it and there is no pin or password being requested to her relief.
She is stopped when she notices some peculiar looking tabs open. A lot of them are for YouTube videos which seem to be unlisted. The one that's open appears to be paused at about the beginning of the video which has the title 'Barbie's tired feet' and the paused frame is of a pair of woman's feet in high heels with the camera set low on the floor. "Oh of course he's into this sort of stuff" She sighs to herself. Out of curiosity she presses play and a woman's legs moves centre in frame. She stops to sit down, her face cannot be seen as it is above the camera's view but blonde hair can be see reaching her shoulders. She takes off her heels and sits partially cross-legged, taking on of her feet and massaging it gently. She then takes out a tube of cream which says in big letters 'Alt-Mart', a brand that Kaitlin doesn't recognise as she watches this video, and applies small amounts to both her feet.
Not interested in finishing the video, Kaitlin pauses at around halfway, her eyes are then drawn to a video in the 'recommended' section called 'Altmart Product Unboxing'. She opens it in a new tab and it's the same blonde woman from the previous video. In the video, Barbie goes through and opens up these strange products that are unfamiliar to Kaitlin although what she gathers from skipping through the 10 minute video is that it makes your feet "softer". Kaitlin looks away from the video and looks down at her own feet which are dry and she feels could use some moisturiser. The products that Barbie goes through in the video include a tube of lotion, a set of foot masks and spray bottle of some sort of liquid. Once she reaches the end of the video, Barbie points to a link to the online store.
Now very intrigued she clicks on the link and it takes her to a page to find a an online store with various Altmart products, many of which were shown in the video, she doesn't look too thoroughly at any individual products but she is drawn to a pack with the exact items from the video in a pack called the beginner pack. After finding the apparent discount she adds it to the cart, she then contemplates her decision, takes another look down at her own feet which she is unhappy with how dry they are. After a brief hesitation, she purchases it and the closes the tab.
After closing the store tab she is returned to the unboxing video. As she is about to close the tab, her attention is drawn to another tab that was already open, another unlisted video from this same Barbie woman. It is called 'How Many Rubber Bands Can We Fit Around Our Soft Feet?'. She clicks on it and it starts with 2 pairs of bare feet with their soles facing the camera. On the left is Barbie who she recognised from the other 2 videos but the woman on the right is a larger, darker-skinned woman, her feet are much larger and wider which is especially apparent beside Barbies soles. After applying the cream to their feet a third unseen person from offscreen wraps a rubber band around only foot of each woman. The rubber bands are about an inch in diameter to start with. A rubber band is then added foot one-by-one to each woman's foot and a counter on either side of the screen.
"Oh this is like those YouTube video where they wrap rubber bands around a watermelon until they break" Kaitlin thinks to herself.
After about 20 rubber bands are added to each foot, the wrapped area begins to become noticeably pinched narrower than the rest of the foot which remains normal. They do not appear to be any any pain, in fact they both start laughing as rubber band count reaches above the 50s. By this point, it looks like the pressure of the rubber band has cut halfway through each foot, especially noticeable in the other woman's larger soles. They both laugh, point to their soles and talk to each other in hushed voices. Eventually, the pressure of the rubber bands gives way and the foot separates where the rubber bands were placed, then collapses, separating the feet into two separate piece.
Kaitlin is trying to figure out what she just watched, she thought it couldn't be real. So she looked in the video's description and saw a link to the channel of the larger black woman with the wide feet, her name is Marni.
So she browses Marni's channel and clicks in a random a video of hers. She appears to be using the same cream used in the other videos (and that Kaitlin herself had just bought). Marni rubs it all over her feet, she then brings out a pair of high heels that appear to be a size or two smaller but she still manages to barely fit into them. She gets up and walks around the room with the heels on, managing to keep her balance, impressively. You could see the back on her heel is sticking out the back of the shoe because of how much bigger her feet are compared to the heels but also the sides of her feel seem to spill down slightly as her feet are also much wider than the shoe is.
After about 30 seconds, she stops to a standstill will the back on her feet to the camera. She bends her right knee slightly so her sole is visible to the camera and an indent of the high heel's insole is visible in her sole. She continues walking around the room and after about 30 minutes, her are feet now in full view again and something appears to be noticeably different. The heel of her foot appears to somehow be in a lower position with the back of her heel and sides of feet that were previously sticking out seem to be hugging around a more significant portion of the shoe. The back of the shoe can hardly be seen anymore and the parts of her feet that were previously hugging the shoe itself have almost completely covered the stiletto part that's been raising the back of the shoe.
Marni sits back down and tries to slowly remove each shoe which appear to have sunken deep into her thick soles. She pulls at the high heel to pull that out before carefully sliding off the shoe, revealing her compressed toes from the tightness of the shoe's smaller size. After doing the same with the other shoe she manages to spread her toes on her own, separating them mostly unscathed apart from some misshapenness of being confined in a pointed area. She then shows her soles to the camera revealing indentations from the shoes that are extremely deep into large feet. She runs her fingers along the deep indentation and then inside of it showing how deep the imprint of the shoe has left, the deepest area being towards the heel of her sole where it sunk in the most.
Kaitlin is very confused as to what she just watched, but at the same time she wants to know more about what these products are about. She returns to the original tab 'Barbie's tired feet' which was paused at the halfway point and decides to finish it off. In the remainder of the video Barbie continues to massage her feet and continually applying the cream, by this point her feet have become soft but they become smooth. But as the video goes on, Kaitlin notices that Barbie's feet become more putty-like in texture as she's able to dig her thumbs into her sole with little resistance. by the end of the video Barbie starts massaging her thumbs on her sole, up towards her toes as her foot gradually begins to deform and elongate. Finally with all of her fingers, Barbie grabs on to each side of the foot and pulls it away from her and stretches out even further.
Kaitlin nearing the end of this video, in awe and confusion of what she is watching, hears the front door of her house open. Before she could finish the video and see how it ends she quickly pauses, closes the laptop and gets up to greet her husband at the door. As she heads over she tries to process what she just discovered. She has never seen anything like what she had watched. "What kind of cream did I just buy for myself?" She pondered, as she greets Rich with a kiss.
