For the first time in my life, I have worn out a pair of shoes by using them for their intended purpose rather than growing out of them or having them fall apart. My trusty old walking shoes have bit the big one. They no longer provide the appropriate levels of cushioning and support required but are superficially still quite adequate. I am actually kind of excited for this turn of events though it means I have to go spend some money.

Duct tape isn’t too expensive. And, with the leftovers, you can make a wallet.
I actually repaired a pair of shoes with duct tape once. About two weeks after I did so, somebody at church gave me a pair of shoes wrapped up with nice wrapping paper but no note or anything.
Thanks, mysterious benefactor!
