I do feel sorry for the shoeshine boys in the Dubai International Financial Centre these days.
Most of the year, as I can see from Caribou Coffee in the central concourse, they are a blur of activity, with a constant stream of customers hopping up into the elevated armchairs with the steel footrests.
The typical punter is, literally, a well-heeled investment banker type for whom a few thousand dirhams on a pair of office shoes is commonplace. The shoeshine team must be experts on the finest in men's footwear.
