After I’d had my boots for 6 months or so and they were good and broken in, the star actor and principle dancer in a community theater production of “Oklahoma” spotted them, and said, “Wow, I wish I had boots like that to wear in this show. The boots they gave me just clomp on the floor and slip and slide and hurt my feet when I dance. Those look really comfortable.”
I said, “They really are, but I’ve never tried to dance in them. What size are your feet?” It turned out we were the same size, and, since “the show must go on”, I lent them to him for the run of the show. He tap danced, walzed, and two-stepped through 6 shows and many rehearsals, all the while saying that they felt as good as any shoes he’d ever owned. When he gave them back, they were none the worse for wear. A little leather protector and polish, and they looked just as good as the day I bought them. And I’d made a friend who now knows what it’s like to be in my shoes.
