Done

Upon cleaning out some of the stuff in the garage so we could assess and consolidate the camping gear, Chad ruefully realized that one pair of his bike shoes was just done.

Chad sez: Well, bear in mind that they were bought circa 1991, and served a long and hard life... failure mode was that the upper de-bonded from the sole, resulting in the gaping hole seen on the left, but the uppers were also worn through in several spots, and the protective plastic around the heels had been sliced through (on both shoes) by chainrings and rocks. These shoes were *more* than done. It was still sad to part with them, (sniff), we had been through so much together!
