I just got these shoes less than two months ago. I would be very
surprised if they had been discontinued so soon. I guess I'll check with
Pep Boys, maybe order some spare sets just in case. Before I got the
shoes, I did check with a local reliner. I believe I was quoted around
$40 for them to do my old shoes (I have two spare sets for cores).
