The rest is silence.

(Running) To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler on your feet to suffer
The pains and aches of your scrapes and blisters,
Or to take arms against a sea of ninnies
By visiting the cobbler’s.

Solution: What to do about running shoes that make your feet bleed

  • You try to reclaim them although you can’t find the bill anywhere.
  • Surprisingly, this works – because the shop seems to secretly keep all customer data forever.
  • The guys from the shop promise to phone you back “first thing tomorrow”; instead they keep your shoes for two and a half weeks.
  • After that you’re told that the shoes are completely irreparable and you might as well take them back home with you.
  • After three weeks I got part of the purchase price back. Well.
  • On the edge of despair I take my beloved shoes to the cobbler’s.
  • The master repairs them on the cheap within two days. I can scarcely put my gratitude into words. My beautiful shoes are back home! Yaaay!
