Old shoes, new laces
The other day, I purchased new laces for my old basketball shoes. The game on Sunday night felt a lot easier on my feet than games previously; my shoes were tighter, stronger, safer. I felt almost as if I had a new lease on my basketball life. Or at least that the life of my basketball shoes had been graciously extended a second life. Considering I’d been contemplating new shoes for some time, this was definitely a big saving too. So far, I’m 2/2 for basketball games since then too.
I wonder if it is possible to buy new laces for life.
Lately, the shoes have been looking a little worn out, and something new which would extend it’s life would certainly be welcomed.. but what?

New socks can give the shoes a new lease of life.
Their vibrant youth and wide-eyed innocence can remind the shoes of their golden days and make them feel up to 20 years younger.

Eek, as a cross country runner, the thought of old shoes is quite scary. I know a basketball court is softer than concrete, and the amount of running is probably less, but take care of your feet. Running in old shoes can lead to stress fractures and shin splints.
