Somewhere hidden in Splatsville lives a shoemaker who can add forbidden effects to your gear (if you can find him). He's wanted for selling his gear to help players cheat in their matches.

Today is Saint Mark (Sant Marc), who is the patron saint of the shoemakers and other jobs that work with leather. On this day, it used to be typical to make these currutacos biscuits in the shape of outer socks (escarpins) and take them to be blessed.

An outer sock (escarpí) was the thick sock that was worn between the stockings and the shoes with certain kinds of shoes.
