I'll look into it. The shoes only cost $40 about 6 years ago. I'm sure I can find some relatively inexpensive. But, if I can save some money, I might as well get them resoled. I hate waste, and throwing away the uppers would just be wasteful because they are still in great condition. Hmmm… I’ll look into it. The shoes only cost $40 about 6 years ago.

I'm so glad you wrote it. I've often wondered about how to properly care for consumer goods so that they don't wear out so quickly. Next, show me how to properly starch a shirt or pair of pants. Seriously! An excellent post! I’m so glad you wrote it. I’ve often wondered about how to properly care for consumer goods so that they don’t wear out so quickly.

Next, show me how to properly starch a shirt or pair of pants. Seriously!

It is a great thing, almost like getting "new shoes" that fit like the old ones! #beloml→

I've done this several times. The key is to find a good cobbler and make friends with him or her. I've actually replaced leather soles with more durable rubber ones and I've been very pleased with the result. Thanks Patrick,

I wear them several times per week, so I have gotten more than my money's worth out of them. Regular polish and care is the reason I still have them. Unfortunately, the rubber soles are wearing out now and I think it will be easier/cheaper to replace the shes than getting new soles put on. But I certainly can't complain about 6 years' usage! :) Great tutorial - enough to make a military man proud! ;)
