In a world of instant everything, from food to relationships, professions such as that of a cobbler have become almost completely anachronistic. That is precisely why it is all the more valuable to meet someone who perseveres out of love for their craft, even though it will neither make them rich nor famous. Perhaps an awareness of sustainability — that the resources on this planet are limited — together with the understanding that our shoes, alongside our feet, play a very important role in our lives because they allow us to go wherever we wish, will gain greater meaning.
