I don’t know what I would do without those old uncles who make a living repairing the shoes along street corners. They are a dying breed who fixes shoes at such low prices. And most of the time, they’re very skillful!
Just had a pair of heels fixed by an old uncle who sits along Robinson Road. And as I waited for my shoes to be fixed, I just thought of how sad it would be when I will no longer see these old cobblers with their little stools and all their gear crouched at little street corners.
