Fascinating. Perhaps the internets needs some sort of directory listing cobblers of distinction. Quite useful to a largely discerning gentleman such as myself.

You obviously didn’t know that Michelangelo used to swearily sculpt marble with his Loake’s.

I’d gladly go somewhere else had I not developed a misplaced sense of brand loyalty to Clarks as a child. Not only would they painstakingly measure each and every dimension of my feet to the delight of my mother (always keen to avoid pinching around the toe) but the sold me some shoes which, according to their TV advert, could be used to kick evil robots to bits.

While I’ve not yet encountered a situation while I might need to kick a wicked automaton to pieces I like to take comfort in the knowledge that should such a situation arise at this point in my life I am still adequately equipped to deal with it. There is no doubt in my mind that one well-placed kick from my dandy Oxfords would immediately destroy any assailant, robotic or otherwise.

BUY BETTER SHOES.

Clanks, yes CLANKS, are for the troubled of gait and spastic footed.

I suggest you head to a more discerning cobbler such as Church’s, Thomas Loake’s or even 90′s boyband staple Timberlake.

Maybe you can hunt some cats and hedgehogs and fashion your own feet covers that would be the talk of the workhouse.

Kind regards,

Simon
