Old Shoes

How far can they go? I wonder... They are still comfortable and functional, despite being duct-taped and having the broken laces tied. Do you think I'll make it to December with these beauties?

Not until they stop protecting my feet and feeling comfortable will I buy a new pair. Until then, I'm getting every inch of use out of them I can.

Somehow, fully utilizing a resource before spending money on replacements feels like the right thing to do while working in an area where meals are often found in trash cans and leaky tin roofs separate residents from the harsh weather.

I'm not sure if that makes sense, but it feels right.
