Shoes which Bite

• This blogpost is dedicated to the humble shoe.
• Yes people the very device which protects our feet while we go around in the world.
•  I want to appreciate some shoes which never "depreciate".
• By depreciate I mean they put up a tough fight against the elements.
• Inside the shoe they may get "depressed" means they may adjust according to the feet size.
• But outside they appear "indestructible".
• Only way to get rid of these shoes is by "throwing them away".
• It is painful but has to be done anyways.
• Recently I got rid of my 9 year old leather shoe.
• From outside it was very good or appeared good.
• Its sole had come off which I got stitched with a cobbler.
• And then it was as good as new.
• The sole was also good with no visible sign of cracks.
• But my feet felt the pinch.
• My tiny finger in the feet began hurting and that was a sign.
• It was a sign to get rid of the shoe.
• Inspite of the pain of getting rid of something which appeared normal, I took tough decision and got rid of the shoe.
• At the other end of the spectrum are shoes which give way and crack under pressure and develop cracks.
• It is a sure shot sign to get rid of the shoe.
• We may say that the shoe did not last and is a waste of money.
• But if you look at it maybe it is better if the shoe cracks and buckles under pressure and it means you can get a new shoe for yourself.
• Earlier also I have had sandals plus sports shoe which were "indestructible".
• And only way to get rid of them was to throw them.
• The sandal was good from outside but was "pressed down" according to the contours of the feet and that is not good. 
• For the entire leg including the knee joint such kind of shoes give rise to a variety of pains which is bad.
• The sports shoe I had was also indestructible in the sense that though its sole came off there was still the basic structure of the shoe intact. And you could use it.
• But inside he show the portion was "pressed down" and that is bad.
• And so you have to get rid of it.
