My favourite shoes were made by ecco, and this particular one I had been wearing for the last 9 years. Finally on one fine Sunday morning while I was doing my morning round, the sole detached from the main body and I ended up dragging my feet bag to the car.
It still looked salvageable but Anita was adamant that the shoes need replacing.
I wouldn't be throwing away the shoes just yet. Though I agreed that I could do with a new pair - which I have already done so again from ecco - I was still going to take the old shoes to the cobblers. Just a squirt of glue should fix the thing - at least for another couple of years ...
