One more thing (for now) on living the Simple Life in Trieste. The CALZOLAIO. Everyone has their favorite. My best cobbler has a facebook page with some serious action-- there is a ton of traffic in and out of the actual place on a regular basis, too!
Triestini know that it's better to pay a little more for your shoes, and then wear the HELL out of them for years and years with routine maintenance.
Ask anyone. They will tell you. If you go to La Bottega del Calzolaio in Ponte Rosso, which is my personal favorite, tell them Karoline sent you.
In case you are not sure what they do, you can:
1. Stick a heel back on your stiletto.
2. Get new soles on your fancy work shoes.
3. Get your tennies buffed up.
4. Get your leather goods sewn up where the stitching is loose.
5. Get a touch up so your shoes look good again.
I am a believer.
