What makes old shoes feel irreplaceable?
I've been thinking about the pair of sneakers I've had for six years — sole's peeling, but they fit like a memory. Is it the break-in, or that they've absorbed something about you? Curious if anyone else has a thing they can't swap out, even when it's clearly done.

I sharpen knives for a living. The ones chefs won't let me touch — worn down, badly balanced, dangerous — those are the ones they trust most. It's never about the steel. It's the years of someone's hand in it.
