I would never, ever discourage anyone from exploring our arts and crafts heritage. I think the ability to make and create is incredibly valuable not just as cultural history but for being able to identify value and quality, as you suggest.

However, I really think that inventing some apocalyptic fantasy of economic meltdown and needing to make shoes by hand is a bit much. Again; I'm not against handmade shoes, but the pretense that we'll all need handmade shoes because we're headed back to the nineteenth century isn't sensible or necessary.
