I've called several shops around town (NOLA) and many of them don't know the difference between a "Blucher" and a "Balmoral" vent... hell, they didn't even know it was called a vent!

Anyone know a good cobbler? I need more than just someone who can replace soles on a shoe and sells shoe laces.

Also, in case YOU all don't know... this is a "Balmoral":


And this is a "Blucher" (or Derby):

Ooooh. You mean "lacey-holies."

You mean "lacey-flappies."

The only 2 places I know are in Metairie.

Famous Shoe Repair on Metairie Road and Shoe Doctor on Homestead. I do not know if they know the difference between a "Blucher" and a "Balmoral" vent.

I'd recommend a good peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream on top.

You need a couple of elves.

No but I bet someone on Grindr could help you out with your problem.

Blackberry.

Some might say peach, but they are crazy. Blackberry Cobbler is where it is at!

I learned what wing tips were once I bought some. That's all I got.

If you refer to them as closed lacing or open lacing they will have a better idea what you are talking about.

Or Oxfords and Derbies.

Those terms are more common.
