These shoes were called Schlapps. And those who wore them were Schlappsteurs.

Confidences of a Schlappsteur (2023)

Directed by Oscar Barrouyer

In his motor home, while drinking too much wine, an old “Shlappsteur” (a luxury event waiter) shares anecdotes about the job that ate up his whole life. Funny, rough or melancholic, his memories materialize before our eyes and paint, piece by piece, the portrait of a life dedicated to work.
