HI fritzl,

This(noted: "operation paprika") is the nicest thing I have ever seen in this forums! Thanks for this in the name of the whole shoemaker society. I hope you can help this old man. Actually in old times shoemaker made guilts and did this kind of charity work. It is a shame that this 85 old man still has to work for money. I try to help if I can.


Yes, it was me. I just privately wrote it to you, but I don't mind that you shared with the world - except I never heard about anything the details. Maybe some more info will help.

a subsequent pair will travel around the world:

The shoemakers in your area are fascinating. Pity l don't speak the languages. lt would be a dream to visit all the German, Austrian and Hungarian makers.

When i've bought as many Kiss as l can, i am going to be a lucky man.

i am afraid, i'll not get the approval from the lady. she didn't respond, which is no good.

but even worse, the wash of the demim and the fit of the sweater will be punished by the S&D crowd. that's too much. sorry

The new pictures are nice. I got my shoes last week but unforunatley there was a missunderstanding with the sizing. Fritzl has been very accomodating however and I have sent them back and he will try to find a new pair for me during his next trip. The shoes themselves looked very nice, i can't wait to get a pair that I can wear
