A needle and thread, a match, a razor blade.
A needle and thread sewing elastic ankle bands and ribbons.
A match melting ribbon edges before they unravel.
A razor blade scratching the slippery shanks.
Sweating, blistering, and bleeding in shoes that are softening, softening, softening, perfect, too soft!
At the end of the breaking in and before the broken there is a sweet suspension. It hangs in the air like a kite on a perfect wind.
