Shitty shoe of some familymember.
Took it close and used Picasa for the basic work. Used levels, curves and turned it to b/w in PS. Sharpened it at the end.

I think a little more DOF would have benefited you in this pic. I think it would give a little more meaning and clarity to your title. I do like the gritty feel of the processing as it fits the type of shoe perfectly.
