CAN THESE SHOES BE SAVED?

Only their soles... Where's Momma Angel when you need her?

I think you need new feet.

Can this sole be saved?

TSA, where the hell would i get those--the second hand store?

The morgue, the cemetary, innocent passerby, random hitchhiker . . . the possibilities are endless!

Make sure you get a matching set.

Dip sneakers in water. If they disintegrate, they are quite done. If they survive the soak, they're as good as new. It's the dogs that are silly.

You woulda thought three sets of insoles would do the trick.

............use the water as the main ingredient for a large jug of lemonade, in order to provide refreshment for passing door to door salesmen.

Roast 'em in the oven on a low heat (Say 200 degrees).

all sensible advice Set. Hope you are paying attention.

Actually there is only one solution if you want to preserve said "sneekers" ? what? you mean pumps...? anyway

Place said sneekers in undiluted solution of bleach.

Stand well back.

After carefully donning the necessary safety equipment, using the long handle tongs, pick up shoes and put them in microwave.

Zap them with at least 750 watts for 3 minutes.

Your trainers will be odour free and dry.


do not use microwave oven suitable for european electrical supply. My shoes blew up. Fortunately I was covered by insurance, (and bits of shoe).

Dag, you're a sweetie pie . . .

I want to thank everyone here for the wonderful advice . . . but now, do i use the conventional oven, as DD suggested--or do i nuke them, as Steve suggested . . . what to do, what to do . . .

Nuke 'em. I'm guessing DD was kidding (if I'm wrong, DD, just say so), and the combination of bleach and radiation should kill anything in the shoes.
And you'll get in less trouble than assaulting some pedestrian for their feet.

Wait a minute, if i'm gonna swipe somebody's feet, i ain't goin' fer no pedestrian--some joker who's put all that unnecessary wear and tear on the items--nosiree, i'm goin' for some lard ass who jumps in the Caddy to drive to the end of the block for a newspaper.

Well I was worried I admit. But really Setanta, the only "solution" (geddit?) is to BUY A NEW PAIR (thats two unless you intend hopping)

You're wrong... about so many things....

Stick 'em in the dryer. That'd work, too.

Hey!

:wink:

seriously I dont think we are actually helping Mr Setanta with his shoe problem. For those of you who are un familiar with this, I can assure you it is a real problem and should not be made fun of. Shoeits.

Forget about Setanta.

Worry about me and the dogs, who have to live with those shoes
