The point is that if you "repair" them yourself, Caterpillar will
carry on selling duff gear quite happily. You buy shoes to wear, not
to mend.

How was one of your shoes allowed to leave the factory badly finished?
Because it's probably happened before and nobody complained.

If you're going to start mending new stuff, you might as well have
made the shoes yourself from scratch. It would be a lot cheaper - but
then you wouldn't have the necessary logo on them!

Once again, this seems to be the classic British trait of paying
top-whack prices and being the least prepared to complain about shoddy
goods/service.

But, but, but they were probably made by a 7 year old kid in
Phillinesia, and if they get a complaint they'll chop his head off.
