I don't know about you guys but whenever I get even the slightest whiff of some impending assignment, law exam, mildly-frustrating-thing-that-must-eventually-be-done, the first thing i'm gonna do is hit ebay and type 'Opening Ceremony' or 'Surface to Air' in the shoe search box and hit enter compulsively until I can at least squint and pretend there's a reasonably priced pair of size 9 buckle wedge boots peering out from inside my macbook. (Hello in there, you).

This kind of behaviour is exactly the kind of thing that could keep me stuck at law school for a 7th year - so help me god - so I've decided I'm just going to get Doc Cobbler to make the aforementioned buckle wedge boots, and henceforth I shall be exponentially more productive. Doc specialises in custom design and their claim to fame is the bottle-green, cut-out boots they created for the TV RAFW show this year. I want!

But if you're more persuaded by numbers than droolworthy footwear, then let me woo you with these ones: Peter started Doc Cobbler 18 years ago, and recently retired with 32 years of experience, passing on the business to 25 year old Jess, who can make a pair of shoes with 6 weeks turnaround. That makes 81 in totally unrelated figures. Very auspicious.
