Do your kicks lack bounce and jump? Is your game not as heeltastic anymore? Follow me on this very simple, VERY CHEAP way to put your feet back in the clouds.
NOTE! I am in no form or function, a foot doctor of any kind or sort. If you have a pre-existing or eminent foot condition, do not consult me about whether or not that I would recommend this for your treatment! The only thing I can testify to is that this instructable resulted in a helluva lot more comfortable a shoe than a pair with dual busted air bags.

You'll need:
Pair of busted air sneaks (Mine was all a single cushion in each sneak.) Bought at Goodwill for $6!
A pair of sandals (Preferably ones that compliment the color pattern on your shoes.) Walmart and Old Navy have these cheap sandals for $2.50 to $5 on average, and I'm sure you can find a sale, or even at Goodwill!
Exacto blade or other sharp knife (You'll need to cut the foam, and possibly the shoe.)
Optional:
Pliers (for yanking the busted air pillow out)
screwdriver or other device for scraping (my sneaks had a bunch of foam gunk that used to hold the pads in place, and it had done a very poor job!)
Glue (If you decide you absolutely need glue to hold your new pads in, get something strong, long lasting, and most importantly, flexible! These are your shoes you're walking in, not blocks of concrete.)
A strong man (or woman!) Hubba hubba.

It's a shame there's no comments. This is a fairly good idea.
