My shoes are falling apart

My shoes are falling appart. You can see my socks. One of them has a hole halfway across it.

Thoughts?

I am calling it an experiment in entropy...
 
First comment or thought would be... Get a new pair.:)

Second would be, you would need multiple pairs to test your experiment.
1. does wetness effect the deterioration process?
2. does temp effect the deterioration process?
What are your thoughts?:cool:

Hmmm... Interesting questions.... I suppose I would also have to take into account the static friction coefficient of everthing I have walked on as well, afterall the bottoms are quite worn... I will post photos in a sec... Gotta snap em and upload to photo bucket, hold on...

Hmmmm.. tried to give you rep for your awesome response but evidently I gave out too much today. Your rep will come tomorrow...
 
You could call them battle scarred. That at least sounds kewler than "falling apart"

or maybe you could run an experiment on your ability to toss them into a trash can from a distance of 2 meters
you can buy used shoes in third world countries for practically nothing that are in better condition that those - its time to let those things die.

NO! THE SCIENCE MUST GO ON!!!!

Eh, one of these days I will get new ones. Honestly, I just thought it would be fun this time around to see how long I can go without changing to new shoes....
 
I suspect the lady might just be right ;) ( we often are)

Yeah, I find that to be the case. I also find that she is really really really good about reminding me of that! Although she does slip up, she did try to talk me out of the bearded dragon after all! Who can say no to a face like this:

She still says she does not like him. Funny cause she wants to pick his name...
 
cute beardie
did you also get a snake?

No, held off for now... Will some day. Only had one enclosure. (Well, I have multiple enclosures, only one set of lamps, etc...) Still want to get the child a leopard gecko, that will be next. Although she already thinks the dragon is hers. "That my lizard Da-ie, I want him here" (holds out here hands) "We have to wait, we just got him and hes not used to our house yet, he has to take a nap first..." "Ok, that my lizard, I want play him..." "He has to take a nap first, want to feed him?"

Then I let her carry the cup of feeder in there, I take the cup and tell her to watch and make sure he eats them all. She hung out there for like 30 minutes the other day instructing the dragon as to the location of each cricket.
 
have you tried some duct tape? you might be able to get a little more wear out of those things as long as you don't play anything strenuous in them.
 
Just wear black socks so it's less obvious. Until they actually don't stay on your feet they are still good. And this is from a woman. Though I do have a couple of pairs of ballet flats that I'm so attached to, they are completely moulded to the shape of my feet, but are gradually metamorphosing into sandals.
 
you cant run out of rep? I believe You can give it endlessly - but you have to spread it around. You cant give to the same one person repeatedly until you've appreciated some others a bit first in between

I think you have a max amount you can give a day. I gave out like 20 or 30 reps yesterday...
