My husband keeps making fun of me for wearing these shoes but I swear they've got at least one walk left in them.

@Alice my mouse of around 20 years stopped working a few weeks ago and I was really sad about it. I understand this attachment.
@Alice I try to take shoe glue and "retread" the shoes in the worn-down spots before this happens.
@Alice@beige.partyaybe I think what you should do is create a sculpture with them. You could encapsulate them in transparent epoxy recreating one of the happiest moments in their lives. It would be them over a piece of tarmac, that moment on your walk where the back foot just became the front foot, but the sole isn't fully on the ground yet and the now back foot just passed by, hanging in mid air. On the floor there's a chewing gum and slightly to the right an autumn leaf, with beautiful shades of red and brown
His main point of contention is that I have three other pairs of the exact same type of shoes with perfectly good soles, but I keep going back to the yellow pair (because it's the best pair).
@Alice My wife is also a big fan of the Onitsuka Tigers.
@Alice I do similarly, but I draw the line at holes in the soles. Don't like that icky cold seepage that results. 😂
In my defense, I tend to favor the yellow Onitsuka Tigers with the holes in the soles because they match my yellow Fjällräven purse which also has a hole.
Which is funny because I also have two other perfectly good Fjällräven purses in different colors that would also match the other perfectly good Onitsuka Tigers.
@Alice send them to a cobblers? New lease of life on them then =D
@Alice complete the look by adding more yellow clothes with more holes; voilà!
Fjällräven is little known in my country, but I'm considering a pricey backpack of theirs. How good are the purses?
@leonardof To be honest, they're not the best quality. It's pretty much just canvas and they do tear, but I tend to favor them because I like their minimal design.
@Alice my wife is the same.
@Alice
According to the wear pattern, you may have an issue with your lumbar silliactus. You should have that checked.
@Alice Until you can tell if a coin is heads or tails whilst standing on it, the shoes are fine.
@Alice I'm also like this; like you; I meant.
@Alice I had the most comfortable shoes ever in 1978. And I wish I had gotten a dozen pairs of them.
@Alice just put some cardboard in the bottom. theyll be fine.
@emily_rugburn I have an insole in there (which is what you're seeing through the bottom). 🤣
@4d3fect Yep! Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 slip-ons, specifically.
@Alice I mean, they are as beautiful as a work of art, so i get it.
@Alice
on a rainy day I walked the dog in my dog-walking shoes and my feet got wet because of the holes in my soles . . . now my dog can only pee when it's dry out . . .
