Should the cobbler stick to his last?

Do you know anyone who still gets their shoes repaired these
days? I have a vague recollection of visiting a shoe repair
place years ago and paying almost as much for the repair as I
paid for the shoes and being told that the material they were
using was much better than what the shoes were made of. It
didn't surprise me because things are made cheap... well,
disposable really. So is there still hope for the cobbler?

We have a shoe repair guy in Fairfield, not far away. He’s the
only one in the County. He’s a small one man operation but has
been there 45 years. They are around but hard to find. The dude
wanted me to wait a week or more on fixing something for me
awhile back so, I said forget it, and I think I just bought a
new pair of shoes. It’s a dying profession. The guy has no
competition in a town of 100,000 of mostly welfare recipients.
(The town‘s a dump in my opinion....like this whole area.)

Sorry, I couldn't miss this limerick opportunity:
There was a cobbler in Fairfield
The one and only in their field
Who once tempted fate
By making Steve wait
Now there's no cobbler in Fairfield.

That old fool does a good business, believe it or not, because
the people there are all broke and can’t buy new shoes.
But that was good Nikola :)
