Hmmm, I wonder if Teva can replace the footbeds on my beloved Pretty Rugged nubuck sandals.

Very cool. I'm all for repairable shoes, which is why I have like 7 pairs or so of Birkenstocks
One pair is 20 years old and has been resoled a few times, another is about dead (daily wear shoes) but I can't bear to part with them. I have one pair of Chacos, but they haven't worn out yet. For some reason, they don't feel as comfortable to me as I thought they would. Feet are so persnickity that way, LOL.

Yeah, feet have their own minds...
I wore Tevas for years (since back when they came in S M L and XL!), but my feet like Chacos better. I've had a few pair of Birkis, but still the Chacos suit my feet better.
Darn Birki for dumping my favorite lines (Charleston, All-Pro). I can't even get soles for my All-Pro's anymore.
I love it when companies make shoes that can be REPAIRED. What a waste it is for us to have to toss a pair of shoes that only need a new sole or a new strap.
