The Economics of Shoes
Yuri, I want to ask you something.
What is it, Estelle?
How exactly do your boots stay on? There are no laces and I don't see any buttons or zippers.
Easy; I use Velcro.
Velcro? What's that?
I suppose you wouldn't have heard of it, since you're nobility. Velcro is composed of two strips of fabric; one of hooks and the other of fasteners. When the strips make contact, the hooks latch onto the fasteners, holding them together.
That's right. The nobility consider Velcro as 'commoner crap', so they don't deal with it. Velcro is much cheaper than laces or zippers, making it perfect for the common man. There's an entire guild devoted to the production of Velcro, seeing as how popular it is with the poor.
Velcro is that important to the people of the lower quarter and others like them?
Yup. And the entire inside of my boots and the bottom of my pants are laced with Velcro; that's how my boots stay on.
Wow. That's quite ingenious of you, Yuri.
Well, I had to do it; I don't know how to tie shoes.
(Snickers) The great Yuri Lowell doesn't know how to tie shoes? HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Azure Edge!
OW! Can't an old man get some love around here?
