John fluevog grand national sz 7

generation 2 of the grand national circa 2000. purchased from the fluevog store in San Francisco. the laces broke within my first few outings so I replaced them with ribbon laces which will probably have to be done soon. there are some scuff marks on the heel and toe and general wear and tear. I have had the heels and the toes reinforced because they tended to wear through whenever I would go out. some of metal laceholders have become bent but it is a quick fix and they still function. questions welcome! thanks!
