if u start to get holes in the bottom of
your shoes go to like a u fix it bike
shop or something like that that has
used free bike parts, get a bike tire
and cut out the metal rings from the
sides then cut a lenght for your braking
shoe that is 2 inches longer then the
shoe. get some shoe goo and goo that
tire chunk on the bottom of ur shoe.
make sure you have it atleast lipping up
on the toe, then cut it to the shape of
the shoe on the sides and heel and
vwalla a shoe that will keep going for
another few months. remember to put on a
weight on top of the shoe while the goo
is drying, take it off after about 2
hours and once that tire wears down
repeat this process

Gum soles last waaay longer i find, even
if they are cheap airwalks or something,
also try to find a shoe buddy who has the
same size feet as you but rides in the
opposite stance, (if your goofy find
someone who is regular)
