For obvious reasons I've chosen a non-carpeted room.
No, I don't have elephantiasis in my left knee. It's because my knee is closer than my feet (see Father Ted for a full explanation of the difference between small and far away).
No, those aren't the trousers I'll be wearing with them.
What can possibly go wrong...

I presume a shoe repairer could ease the problem, but is there a home remedy?

Ah, I've heard of this stuff. I'd be concerned about turning my nice, stiff shoes into a pair of carpet slippers though.
