Shoemaker who has a job a million - Jičín diary<

“I got to my work thanks to my grandfather Františka Klomfarová, who managed the shoes.As kids we were peeking his work, but rather we were harmful to him.When I decided in the eighth grade what I was going to do, there was a carpenter, a car mechanic, and I liked the craft of what my grandfather did and had no one to take over.The sons did not want, so it was my duty."

Michal graduated from the Secondary Vocational School in Hradec Králové.“When I graduated, the school was closed for little interest of children.I learned the first year with my grandfather, that was the biggest school of life.He told me all the tricks and the catch, I owe him a lot.Then I became independent.Something gave me something to my grandfather, we bought something ourselves."

What does one need to be a handy shoemaker?"Patience and skill," says Michal.

Invest in the skin

His workshop dominates a special sewing machine and then a monster on which he grinds, pressed and polished shoes.Because when you inspire the shoe, you have to grind it, stick a slice, press, grind again, lie down and color.The most common repairs are the replacement of bollard in female shoes.Missing shoes goes through the local shoes every day, says to their quality: “He goes up.People have already found out that it is not worth buying cheap Asian shoes but investing in leather they bring to repair.I recommend them, because the leg is definitely better there, they are solved better and structurally."

Does Michal have any colleagues in the area at all?"Recently, Mr. Bláha's son came to me, it was the last shoem on Paka.Otherwise in the neighborhood I don't know about the competition.But we are not interested in us, we have work a million, we have a completely aligned.It's up to make a living but eight hours of work a day don't fix it.Here here so sixteen.It's such a religious but I enjoy it.Even though I now fight in myself because I have small children, so I am often on the dragonfly, whether I have to jump into the workshop in the evening and work or devote to them.I'm still fighting with it, "admits dad of two -year -old and five -year -old daughters, who usually locks the workshop door around eleven in the evening.

The manager's shoes are carried by people from Jičínsko, but also from Semily, Lomnice.Pieces from England, Italy, America will pass under his hands.“People have relatives who come to us on holiday and because they know we are managing shoes, they will bring them."

For Michal his profession is a hobby, but he really has hobbies even in the stable.Unfortunately, he has little time left for them.

“My wife and I met at horses.Originally the goldsmith is taught, but when we got to know each other, he did an annual course for the bag, so we work in the workshop together.But not now, he cares for children, "he recounts.

Managing shoes is not bored.They are still developing new technologies, the alert must be used to use the adhesive, what material to the administrator.Would like someone to take over the craft, but which they see in black.
