likely it will keep you busy for the next three months hence you can pass a test of being a master in austrian tradition and history.

 

Thanks for the tip. This is the kind of homework that I enjoy.

i let you know...

its a hard life

well, when i picked them up a guy from germany wanted them. he gave me his measurements and it was clear that they wouldn't fit. he insisted on them, though. after going back and forth, I exchanged them for another pair and never offered them again. sometimes you have to reward yourself.

on top of that, there was a problem with the sole(hidden defect), which made me so angry that I shelved them until recently. problem is solved and I'm a happy camper.

great job justin

Thank Fritzl!

It's my pleasure to do the best that I can to spread the work of good shoemakers, no matter where they may come from, and to also break the naive idea that only good shoemakers come from certain countries....

glad you found him.

he doesn't take new customers though. I've seen his work as a friend is a long-time customer. impeccable.

a little feedback after a few wearings. actually, they can really take it and it's obvious that they don't "need" a lot of care, if any...?

i'll try the the Burgol cleanser tomorrow, which supplies nourishing agents. that should it be for the moment. i'll let you know. stay tuned happy.gif

what's national costume?
