My shoes have holes in them and i use instant coffee and eat rice & beans most days. I havent been to a salon in 4 years. I cant afford the fruits of my own labor and im on medicaid. I work a skilled union job. They told me i should apply for unemployment when it gets slow.
I've gotten fairly skilled at mending my own cloths as of late. And fixing my shoes.
By "skilled" I mean I can keep my junk from flapping in the breeze, which IMO is good enough.
It's getting rough out there, and I can't afford to buy that shit now. Thread is cheap, sewing needles are cheap, and extra fabric is easy AF to come by.
Yeah, i mend my own shoes and clothes as needed already. The shoes have holes in the upper "sock" bit, otherwise id use shoe goo or something
You could try darning or adding a patch to the upper part of your shoes
Personally I avoid shoe goo whenever possible, it never seems to hold very long
Ooo a patch might work
Heck yeah that's the spirit!
Give it a shot, worst case scenario they're not gonna be worse off
I guess casual nudity can become the fashion trend. "Food or clothes? Pick one."
