Spending our days hiking through the old logging trails is doing a number on my footwear. They're utterly fucked, we're only barely over mid-july, and we won't be running across nothing like a shoes store for weeks(months?). I've tried duct tape, but the shells at low tide cuts right through.

@neauoire that's pretty rough. Are you going to try to patch them up?

@neauoire looking forward to your upcoming post on how to make your own boots using Arbutus bark and bull kelp.

@avi We'd love for Renee to teach us how to make shoes.

@neauoire If I recall my MacGyver Mom's lore correctly, this is a glue problem. She uses "shoe glue" for a worrying variety of non-shoe applications.

hi waporwave!

@neauoire something about the photo i really like though...

@neauoire Reminds me of time I wore those on a trip through Europe. I made it home just in time for the sole on one of them to fall off completely. 😆

@neauoire I have a fried that swears by “shoe goo”. Allegedly you can rebuild the soles with enough layers. I’ve only used it for punctures in rubber boots.
