re: #601 calochortus
Also the result of making shoes out of different materials. Some of the composites can’t be repaired or replaced like leather can.
There are a couple of shoe repair places here in Clarksville, but mainly due to the Army post (Ft. Campbell). They also specialize in stripping the old leather and getting a spit shine laid down. (A skill I never mastered, but since I was in Army Aviation, as long as they were black I was ok)
