Summary Francisco Castillo inherited the cobbler's trade from his father, Nicolas Castillo. He was born in 1940, and that same year his father opened his shoe repair shop. Thus, Francisco's life has always been linked to footwear. By age twelve, Francisco could make new shoes, custom styled to the pattern the customer chose. He bought the leather and cut and stitched it by hand; they were shoes made to last, to walk. But time has brought new technologies to footwear and today's shoes don't last like before. They are made to be replaced frequently, in a time when almost everything is disposable. Of that time all that remain are Francisco's memories.
