Bah humbug. :x

So my 7 month old Uvex Jerez boots decide to give up the ghost. The soles have gone out. Not by normal wear, mind you, but by separating themselves from the rest of the boot... the guy in the shoe repair shop (I'm sure you'll have a name for them) told me there's nothing he can do besides glueing them back, which may last a few days at most. It seems like the vulcanization process has failed somewhere. So my best bet is to get them back to the shop... :roll: and probably be bootless for a few days at least, that is if I can convince them it's a manufacturing defect. It's pretty self explanatory, but you never know what others fail to see... :roll:

Yep, zapatero is a lot close to our own sapateiro.

And with a bit of logic I think you can break "Schumacher" into "shoe maker" too... :wink:
