Chriftoph on Schmid made shoes. Good German shoes. He is the patron Saint of quality foot wear here in Dinkels Buhl. Many Germans come here to contemplate why he wore sandals when there were so many other shoe choices. Like das boots or Nike knock-off sneakers.

For those of you who wondered what 490 million dollars worth of shoes look like, check out Sarah Plummer’s closet… or this picture.

This is a very satisfied-looking German customs official Petra Lotzin, presiding over the shredding of the counterfeit Nike's. Petra is wearing some very sensible shoes, of course.
