It’s inevitable that your favorite pair of rock shoes will eventually start to disintegrate to perforated, stinky slippers. If your shoes are too far gone, then it’s time to fish out another $150 and begin the painful, slow process of breaking in a new pair. But instead of wearing the life out of your shoes and tossing them in the trash, there’s another option: resole them when they’re 80 percent gone and give your shoes a whole new life.

New York (CNN Business)"Top Gun: Maverick" has flown to new heights. The sequel to the 1986 blockbuster, in which Tom Cruise reprises the famed role of Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, has crossed the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office, according to Paramount.

What's more, "Maverick" notched its impressive box office figures in a sort of old-fashioned way: It scored a record opening over Memorial Day weekend and hasn't slowed much since.
