I agree with the others, and I like your pants, too. Probably it is not the look you were looking for but they are nice!
At the end of each season, I would give my shoes for new soles for the heels. I am walking a lot (have to because not going to a fitness center) and it seems that I am pacing too keenly. ;)

It's amazing how a different fabric can produce such different results. I think these pants look fine but I guess they feel quite different from your other pairs with the extra stretch. So glad you were able to extend the life of your favourite shoes.
