How can I celebrate Hanukkah without my over-the-knee boots?

I just got yelled at by the shoe repair guy. I have a pair of over-the-knee boots that I love. I wore them so much they need new heels. I show them to him and ask,

"How much for new heels?"

He raises his voice,

"It's too late. Too late! You should've brought them to me sooner. Do you see this nail? So much work. It's not possible!"

And just as I'm assuming I'm only here to be yelled at and sent home. He adds,

"Twenty-five dollars and you can pick them up in a month."
