A Seasoned Shoe Stitcher Or Canine Feet
So the ideal is to discover a way of making shoes that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], although at some point in their career they may be technically ``new,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],'' are in spirit and character so ancient and archaic,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so hoary and Methuselan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that they and you can only be in instant accord.
Someone once said of Englishwomen's shoes ``they look as if they have been made by someone who had often heard shoes described but had never seen any.'' It's a nice, clever remark,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I'm not entirely certain that Englishwomen's shoes today are much different from those of any other Western nation. I do think, however,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that most shoes in my own experience - from cadet-corps army boots of iron-hard inflexibility to summer sandals of minimal structure and dubious morals, from thin-skinned, pointed ``dress'' shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], polite but wilting in the lightest moisture to sneakers of wonderful springiness - most shoes I've been shod with have been designed by someone who hasn't seen feet. And not only that; they haven't even heard them described.
So now for the second commercial. My wonderful pair of shoes goes by the name of ``Walker'' - made, says the slogan, ``for all round walking.'' They come in a special tin box. They are provided with their own drawstring cloth bag.
Remember Albrecht D"urer's remarkable and inventive drawing of a rhinoceros? I believe the design of my shoes has much in common with that pieced-together creature, whose strange hide is an amalgam of separate pieces that seem to overlap each other so that the animal's bulk might articulate itself freely within. The overlaps of my Walkers are stitched together,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], quite openly and unashamedly. These seams and ridges, secured by rigorous stitching,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], pay little attention to the sleek, the polished, or the suave,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but give maximum attention to the surprising fact that inside this ingenious structure are often to be found feet - feet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], moreover, that are generally foot-shaped rather than shoe-shaped.
I could sing the praises of these marvelous shoes at length, but sometimes one man's overenthusiasm can be another's boredom. Suffice to say that everything about them is ample, shock-absorbent, long-wearing, generous,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and noble. They're ugly perhaps. Yes, they're ugly. There is this slight dichotomy between form and function. But then many good things put usefulness before beauty and achieve a new kind of beauty-in-usefulness as a result.
The gentleman who sold me this pair of shoes told me two things,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. First - which I can witness to - is that whoever buys a pair of these shoes always comes back eventually for another pair.
And second,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that the soles - which are made of some weatherproof,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], rubbery substance and look like scaled-down, rugged ocean cliffs - will never need repairing because the uppers will wear out before they do. Think of that! It's true - and bottoms are as good as ever. And it was only a minute piece of stitching that had gone. Meanwhile, the cobbler's glue is holding up well. But if you happen to be a stitcher, please apply.
