Bottoms up

A tinder fungus from yester walk, showing its bottom, what's a proper reference to the soles of my shoes, that need renewal. Therefore I got to Delft for my shoemaker, but he's no longer there... he's moved onto Austria with his young family and perseus his works there. I won't send him my shoes for repairs, unless they need that care what he alone can give. Now I need to search for another craftsman, who repairs shoes... Sweetheart suggested I should buy Chinese made sneakers, that can't be repaired, just get worn out soon and thrown away; all that I despice and never will buy or use.
