A commenter at BAGnewsNotes points out that Obama's shoes have already had at least one trip to the repairman to get half-soles.
My father used to do that. He wore very nice dress shoes daily for his work, and instead of forking over a couple/few C-notes for new shoes he took them to Bart's Shoe Hospital on Beekman Street. They don't have a website. Never did. Never will.
Hat tip to Marcellina; over the pond, among the big mountains, woodshedding away in The Practice Room.

Nice blog! Thanks for commenting on mine, it gave me the chance to discover yours.
Well, I'll be darn. I hope this photo was taken before he started to run for Pres. I mean if Gov. Palin can spend $150,000 for clothes. Then Sen. Obama should at lest treat himself to some good shoes.
It's hard to believe anyone does that anymore. They charge so much for re-soling that buying new seems cheaper. Then again, he may be in a different market for the original pair.
