I'm not so sure this is a new story although it's dated recently. I've heard this before. But then again, maybe there are more poor cobblers with children who [have to] run barefoot. sigh.

BTW, for those who don't recognize the reference, the proverb "The shoemaker's children go barefoot" (or at least a version of it) goes back to the 1500s. See https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/the_shoemaker's_children_go_barefoot
