But the white buckskin I had
was sturdier than the brown.)
Yesterday, I put new soles on my running shoes Before I started, they looked like this Natural rubber is heavenly to land on, but not that durable I managed to get some of the gunk off the leather, but grime-laden grease is tenacious stuff. And anyway, all I really needed was to clean them enough to see the old stitching holes. There was no way they'd return to looking like this: (I know, I know -- white shoes? But the white buckskin I had was sturdier than the brown.) They were pristine for about a day. But the point is to be outside, so the greasing had to start. And the using. I find it satisfying to keep them going since they do the same for me.
