A man brought me the same red heels to fix every month for a year. Last week his wife brought them.
Size 38, red, the left heel always broken the same way. He paid cash and never waited. Last Tuesday a woman put them on my table, size 38, left heel gone, and asked how many times I had seen these shoes. I said I am a cobbler, madam, I see feet, not faces. She paid, waited, and wore them out of my shop. He has not come back. Resoles from ₦4,000, heels in an hour while you wait, and I never remember a customer.
