It being summer, I decided it was a good time to dig out a box of old shoes that I hadn't worn for a while. Various sizes, many pretty decrepit.
Most of these were photographed a few years ago, but then I put them on, took some photos, and then put them away again. This time I decided that I'd actually wear them for a while as I take the photos. I was pleasantly surprised to find that even the ones I considered "unwearable" were in fact perfectly wearable, although in a couple of cases I had to make minor repairs so they would stay on my feet.
I wore each of these anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days. The only reason for not wearing them longer was that there are so many pair to wear! In fact I'm only about half way through the collection. You'll see more in an upcoming post.
Another of my 1960's loafers worn down. These wore through the Neolite soles, eventually the front half fell off. I still wore them, particularly to grad school and for work around the house. They got paint on them, but I still wore them and much of the paint wore away.
Now that I've got them out, they'll get some more wear. They ar pretty comfy, I like holey shoes!.

Dress shoes, size 7, 50 years old
I bought these to have a good pair of dress shoes when I started working following college. All my college shoes were pretty decrepit, I had no money then for shoes, or much else.
Some time a few years ago, the Neolite soles became hard and stiff as a rock. When I wore the shoes, the soles cracked in half. Now, I still wear them on occasion, no one would notice.
However the hard edges of the Neolite make loud cracking sounds as I walk when they slide against each other at the cracks. I may have to break some off so I can wear them quietly...
These remind me of a situation when I was in High School. I had one pair of school shoes, similar to these dress shoes, but I seem to remember brown. My shoes then took a beating, a lot of walking, running, bike riding, everything that teenagers do. And I often didn't put my sneakers on when I got home from school.
Anyway, the Neolite soles on those brown school shoes began to become unstitched from the uppers. As there was less stitching holding them together, I said "that's cool" and helped them along, pulling more and more of the sole loose. Finally, one day the whole front on one side came loose and was flapping. I learned to pick my feet up so the sole wouldn't drag, and actually pulled the sole on the other shoe loose. Kind of cool at first. After a few days, I tried to glue them back, but within a day, the glue let go.
So I cut the soles off, near the heel. After a week or so, I took the shoes to a shoemaker and asked him to put half soles on them. He looked at them, and said he couldn't, I had cut too much off.
Now what? I was too broke to buy new shoes. I tried glue again, no luck. I tried tying the soles on with wire, but after a few days the wire broke and they fell off.
So I wore them for many months with no soles. The midsole was cork, which wore away, particularly when I was bike riding, and the innersole was either thin leather or plastic. I felt every stone I stepped on, but I came to like that. Reminded me when I was barefoot all summer as a young child.
Eventually the innersoles wore through, I stuffed different things inside to keep my socks from wearing out. They did get very wet inside when it rained, but I survived.
I think a year or so later my mother took pity on me and bought me some new shoes.

I've had these boots, unbranded and unsized, probably 6 or 6 1/2, since the 1970's when I was gifted them used. Finally, the leather instep has rotted and cracked, and the neoprene soles are cracking and splitting. Still perfectly wearable and comfortable, best without socks to escape through the hole.

The old photo was taken in the pre-current Granville street bridge days, and the building in the foreground that belonged to the Neolite Company was likely demolished when the bridge was built. I assume the Continental Hotel moved its entrance to the second floor at that time, too. This is looking north from Pacific.
A cave near the village of Karlukovo. Its denomination has remained because of the two withstanding entrances with height of 24 m and 40.50 m. It is long 265 m. It is located 2 km to the north of the village on the road to Lukovit. Dry one-staged mountain shaped through the Quaternary along transversal failure by the River Iskar at the upper stratum of the limestone of from the Maastrichtian Stage. It is light from the high entrances and the two openings of the ceiling - Oknata. It is inhabited by swallows. Its floor is covered with alluvial soil, ribbed gravel and blocks of a collapse as a consequence of a frosty weathering. It has been inhabited by people during the Neolite and Eneolite. An awl from wild boar tusk, awls from bones of birds, flinty scrapers and knives, various ceramics and traces of burnt wheat and millet have been found at the excavation of its right side. It is accessible at any time.
