Heart-Broken-Shoes

My heart is broken. So are two of my favourite pairs of shoes: one with a broken back, the other with a broken strap.

My regular shoe repairer examined the pair on the left, and pronounced that the shank of the right shoe was broken, and he couldn’t repair it, as a special machine utilising a magnet (which he didn’t own) would be required to extract the nail from the heel. He suggests a repairer in the city … who seems to have changed address – boo!

The left wedge sports a broken strap in the toe box. When I made its discovery, I dismissed the shoe as a lost cause – but maybe not? Not when you consider there would be a broken heart left in its wake? They’re still in good nick otherwise; I must try again. Fingers (and toes) crossed!
