Since August 2007, eight disarticulated (i.e. legless) human feet have been discovered in coastal British Columbia, Canada, and an eighth in nearby Washington, United States. The feet belong to five men and one woman, the two left feet having been matched with two of the six right feet. As of August 2008, only one foot has been identified; it is not known to whom the rest of the feet belong. In addition, a hoax "foot" was planted on Vancouver Island.
The first foot was discovered on August 20, 2007, on Jedediah Island, by a girl visiting from Washington.[1] The girl found the foot when she picked up a shoe and opened the sock, finding the foot.[2] The foot was that of a man, and was found wearing a size 12 Adidas shoe and a sock. It is thought to have become disarticulated due to submerged decay.[1] This kind of shoe was produced in 2003 and distributed mainly in India.[3]
The second foot was discovered by a couple on August 26 on Gabriola Island. It was also that of a man, and also became disarticulated due to decay.[1] It was waterlogged and appeared to have been taken ashore by an animal. It probably floated ashore from the south.[2] This shoe was produced in 2004 and sold worldwide, and the type has since been discontinued.[3]
The third foot was discovered on February 8, 2008, on Valdes Island.[4] It was also a man's right foot and was wearing a sneaker and a sock.[5] This shoe was sold in Canada or the United States between February 1, 2003, and June 30, 2003.[3]
The fourth foot was discovered on May 22 on Kirkland Island, an island in the Fraser Delta between Richmond and Delta, British Columbia. It was also wearing a sock and sneaker.[6] It is thought to have washed down the Fraser River, having nothing to do with the ones found in the Gulf Islands.[7] This right foot was of a woman.[8] The shoe was a New Balance sneaker[9] manufactured in 1999.[3]
The fifth foot was on June 16, floating in water near Westham Island, part of Delta.[8] It was found floating in the water by two hikers.[10] It has been confirmed that the left foot found on June 16 on Westham Island and the right foot found February 8 on Valdes Island belonged to the same man.
