A lace came untied on on my pigskin slipons in late April and in my clumsiness I somehow managed to trip over the thing and tear the tassel off without noticing, meaning I had no choice but to return the shoe for repair. Having received my education about shoe turnaround times from a Northampton maker that takes six months to do anything asked of them, my expectation was that I might be able to wear the things again once before the end of the year which was disappointing since I'd only had them for a couple of weeks.
Lo and behold, the repaired shoe arrived less than a month after it was dispatched which is nothing to sneeze at when you consider that it must have spent two weeks of the intervening time in transit.
Thank you to the gentlemen at G. J. Cleverley.

Very nice, Will. But if the intention was to produce another Shoes and Socks episode, you should have just said that. We like Shoes and Socks.
Color me confused. That picture is not a new shoe. It is a damaged shoe, though. But where is the pic of the repaired shoe? For my future information, did you send both shoes back, even though only one was damaged? I think I would do that and I am wondering what you did.
Yes, shoes and ox are GOOD.
There are photos of the undamaged shoes in my post of February 9. I thought the untasseled laces made a better photo.
