This is for Mary Moon who lives in Florida

 I hope she finds it.

On her blog I mentioned that I recently had my sneakers re-heeled and she wondered how that was possible since only "high end" shoes can be re-heeled where she lives. unless I misunderstood.

I took a few photos:


these are my newest sneakers, not yet worn,


and this is what the soles&heels look like


on an older pair, you can see how the outside edge of the heel gets worn down, that's where my foot strikes as I walk, both feet-outside edge and when they get too far worn, my stride is "off" and I start feeling it in hips and lower back pain.

So I get them re-heeled.


here are my older white sneakers with the new black rubber heel, it doesn't match, but who cares? the shoes are now stable for walking.


see the name? Tough "good-year" rubber. These are the people who make car tyres. Look closely and you will see one edge already getting worn, I had these fixed quite some time ago and these are the shoes I wear all day every day.

  1. Isn't it good that you can get shoes repaired, it sure makes a difference for the better, R.

    1. Margaret D; and it certainly is far cheaper than buying new ones!

    1. Ruby Rose and the Big Little Angels 3; it's worth going to shoe repair shops and asking at least, for people on limited budgets it's cheaper to get shoes resoled or reheeled if the uppers are still good.
