The Story

The Cobbler’s Saturday Pickup

By noon on Saturday, the bell above Bellweather Shoe Repair has scarcely stopped ringing. Five customers have collected footwear restored during the week. The cobbler polished each pair and tucked a handwritten care card into its box before wrapping it in brown paper. From sturdy boots ready for another country walk to dancing shoes prepared for an evening on the floor, every finished pair has a new outing ahead. Each customer collected one different footwear style, each pair received one different repair, and no two customers arrived at the same time. Can you match every customer with their footwear, repair, and pickup time? All pickups took place that morning at 15-minute intervals. In the clues, 'immediately before' means the next listed pickup time, exactly 15 minutes earlier.
