Who but John Galsworthy would, not only wax poetic, but make the reader feel one with it, about a topic such as boots, and making thereof? And yet, of course, it's much more. One immediately recalls his piece on plight of old drivers of hansom cabs in an era when taxis were prevalent and horse drawn vehicles only chosen by elderly women, and this belongs with that, telling of quality bootmakers who made superior pieces to fit each client individually, while larger corporations took over the market via advertising and cheaper products.
