So, those of you who suffer with skinny-calf syndrome may recall that a couple of weeks ago I took a pair of boots to the cobbler and asked him to take them in a few inches: http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....?replies=7

It took him longer than expected, but here are the results:

If you look closely, you can see that when he opened the back seam to make the shaft smaller, he used a narrow strip of leather to rejoin the two sides:

I am so pleased! Angie said she had a good feeling about this, and she was right. (Is she ever wrong?)
