How to extend the life of running shoes

How to extend the life of running shoes

I took a pair of boots and a pair of hiking shoes down to get repaired recently. Renee looked at the boots and said, “I can repair the heel and sole of the boots. The shoes are factory made shoes and it would be cheaper to buy a new pair than try and have me repair the sole.” He said, “It is the same with factory made boots. I have to take the entire sole off to replace it. Hand stitched boots have a separate sole and a separate heel, and I can replace them easily.” It seems most shoes today are factory made, and while the leather top is in good condition, the sole may begin to wear out. The sole of a factory made shoe is all one piece and if it wears out the entire sole must be replaced. It is cheaper to buy a new pair. And when the outer hard rubber portion wears out the soft rubber underneath is also honeycombed with air holes. It seems every small pebble on the road finds those air holes and every step after that has a click like a tap shoe.
