Skimping on Shoe Repair

When I brought my boots to my shoe repairman for new heels, I remarked that his business must be increasing as people are loath to buy new shoes. "No", he said - "When people bring in shoes for new heels and I point out a hole in the sole that needs fixing, they say, 'Maybe next time'."
