新冠病毒暴發(fā)后，現(xiàn)場(chǎng)演出活動(dòng)都被取消，他也接不到訂單了。
Now that restrictions are beginning to ease across Europe, Lup said when he went to the market he noticed that people were not practicing social distancing, which prompted the idea for the shoe.
如今，歐洲各地的限制措施開始放寬，Lup說(shuō)他去市場(chǎng)時(shí)注意到人們沒(méi)有保持社交距離，這使他萌生了制作這款鞋的想法。
"If two people wearing these shoes were facing each other, there would be almost one-and-a-half meters between them," he said.
他說(shuō)："如果兩個(gè)人都穿著這種鞋子面對(duì)面站立，那他們之間有約1.5米的距離。"
Since debuting his creation, the cobbler has received five orders for the shoe, which cost $115 per pair.
