This typical genre scene stands out for its vigorous and realistic pictorial quality. The artist proposes a mundane scene in which it is represented an almadreñero (manufacturer of clogs or almadreñas) putting the shoe to a boy under the attentive look of his mother and another relative. The expressions are naturalistic and lively. The exuberance of the whole and the precise description of each detail, in its textures and qualities, extracting from them the right glazes, testify to a firm pulse and high artistic level.
