Pardon my ignorance, why re-line the shoe?
I'm not being a smart-a**, I just trying to figure out the advantage

Oh. That was easy. I was way out in left field... "Hmmmm original shoes must make the car more valuable" or "more points awarded for original shoes" LoL
Can't immagine anyone doing anything for under 20 bucks and that's what a set of Pep Boys lifetime shoes cost
