My new right shoe is falling apart less than a month after I got the new pair. Fuck. A stopgap solution - packing tape - has been put in place in the hopes that it will get me to home. I had the incredible foresight - a.k.a. too lazy to throw things out - to keep the receipt and everything, so I ought to be okay - I just don't wanna hit the sidewalks in my socks. Wish me (and my shoes!) luck. I'm now leaving work.

Addendum, one hour later: the tape made it about a quarter of the way home. Shoe is still in one piece. I guess.
