After eight years of too-frequent wearing and basic-care neglect from not oiling, polishing or using shoe trees, I was about to kiss an old pair of boots goodbye. Instead, I took my kickers to the shoe repair to see if they could be resuscitated with new soles. Two days later, I’m happy to report that my boots have brand new leather soles, new heels and a new life, which will be prolonged even further now that I know how to care for them properly.
