    This episode got soo old fast. It makes no sense that some random people wanna advertise their shoes on a webshow!!!! How about making a comercails. Overall, bad plot (as usual for seaosn 1).

    I know I've said this a bunch of times but I don't like Season 1 that much and it's one of iCarly's worst seasons ever but this episode actually did make me laugh hard. The humor was surprisingly original and fresh, the plot was well executed, and everything else was just handled well. My score was just a tad low because I didn't like those Daka people too much and how they were almost gonna sue the iCarly crew for not mentioning the techfoots or whatever. Anyways, this episode was excellent by surprise. That one Daka person was very funny (you know the guy that ate a little piece of the tuna sandwich that Sam coughed out.... which was the by the way gross but it sure made me laugh). Carly and Sam showing the techfoots on "iCarly" was also very good and enjoyable. Spencer also waking up on the wrong bus and ending up in Canada (where he bought Canadian Bacon... not knowing that it was just ham) was very funny. Spencer being the iCarly crew's lawyer and then the Daka people canceled their contact was funny and excellent. The Daka people also giving the iCarly crew more money was very funny. I also loved the very ending when Carly bought a motorcycle for Spencer so he won't have to take a bus ever again. Overall, an excellent episode of "iCarly" that surprisingly had original and classic humor. 9.5/10moreless

    "iPromote Techfoots" is a very funny installment of the most popular kids show on television, iCarly, that resonates as well with its younger viewers as it does older audience members who are hoping for a realistic avenue to share their love of comedy. From the discussion of the number of viewers to the tricking the Techfoot executives by falsely positively advertising the product, it was not an episode that insulted the viewer's intelligence (like most non-Wizards of Waverly Place Disney shows do.)

    The 18th episode of the show's 1st season is a great mix of comedy and a little bit of suspense that should satisfy the show's passionate fanbase.moreless

    i never liked this one a lot, the plot of them having a contract to talk good about a new shoe was OK but the execution did not do much for me at all. I found most of it boring and i did not like it. nothing was really funny and to me the plot was not that good, though others may disagree, anyway, there really was not much i liked, spencer's plot was OK but it was short, so my overall grade for this episode is a low "D" because i did like spencer's plot a little i guessmoreless

    Just literally finished watching it a minute ago. It was fantastic! A real series classic. After iCarly gets the most viewers they ever got (which is not right really if you remember iSpy A Mean Teacher), Daka Shoes wants the three kids to advertise their new "Techfoots" on iCarly. They sign a contract for $100, 000, but when they find out the show is losing lots of viewers because the shoes suck, they need to find a way out of it. Spencer saves the day, explaining there's always a loophole with contracts, so they say positive things about the techfoot in the wrong way. Daka Shoes threaten to sue, but Spencer, the kids' lawyer, proves that they WERE being positive, and Daka Shoes pays them $30, 000 to not talk about their Techfoots. Carly uses all the money to buy Spencer a motorcycle. A fantastic episode.

    • Goof: When Carly is showing Spencer his motorcycle 2 people walk by. A few seconds later the camera shot changes they walk by again. Edit
    • During the web show where the iCarly gang is showing everyone how "wonderful" the shoes are, Sam sticks her hand through a shoe and it rips open, then she says "and then you just shove your toes through the front, like this!" then later when Spencer replays the footage from that same web cast, she says "and then you just shove your toes through the front to cool them off, like this!", she didn't say "cool them off" the first time. Edit
    • Since he has been relying on different methods of transportation, it seems that Spencer doesn't drive. Edit
