It's a very poor edit as well. That hard transition between foot and shoe looks horrible.
They should have been breathing life into the images by adding highlights to make them sparkle.
I suspect other people see these images and think something is off but just aren't able to pinpoint what it is. Or maybe they think the model has a really thick foot. 
I'm playing devil's advocate here 
.
Have you considered that this store's target demographic has above average sized feet? Actually their sizes are average for me but that's another story. The point is, maybe their typical shopper has thick feet (certain medications can do that) and they relate better to that image than they would to a picture of a skinny foot.
Just a thought...

This one is doing the rounds of news sites today. I've pasted it in at 2000 pixels, so click to expand, and check out Reese Witherspoon on the left 'snuggling' up to Oprah. It's her legs, or rather her extra leg, that has people talking.
In this case I love the reaction of the people involved, making a big joke of it.

There is also a picture showing Oprah with three hands. The unsubtle highlights are the BBC's and not by me — I know you guys don't need help to spot a Photoshop blooper.

This is very clearly an accidental mistake, not deliberate. You can see that this is a mask or clipping path that has been accidentally moved upwards - it's the same shape repeated. Also look at the hand, same thing. It also cuts into the whole outline of the right thigh, making it too narrow.
In fact this can very easily happen if you work fast with a deadline two minutes away. I've done it myself - although I think I've caught them all before sending the file.

D Fosse, have you ever made this kind of mistake, even under deadline, hahaha? Here's another Target thigh gap ad. They were pulled pretty quickly after they made the news.
You don't see these? They appear on all three browsers I have installed. I wonder if it is a Mac/Windows thing?
Yes, it was the Target advert that had me laughing. 
No numbers:
...but the possibility to post the link to the entry: Re: A policy of bad Photoshop manipulations?

Numbers appear in the forum threads but not from your inbox.
Nancy, I made sure to be in the forum thread in Windows, on the Mac, and on the iPad. You can see part of the URL in the Windows screen shot I posted before. It has most of the word "thread". Here is the complete URL on Mac. No numbers. I've never had numbers.
When I right-click and Inspect Element in my browser (Firefox), I can see it in the code. So it's there but it's not rendering in certain browsers for whatever reason...
