Sole came off upper, and liner fell out - given they had lasted 2 years and i bought them for $15 at The Warehouse (equivilent to your T****** i think) this wasnt bad.
HOwever, i did still need to get home and didnt realy fancy walking on stonechip/tarseal for another 2-3 K in my socks.
So, i found some broken glass beside the road. I think in nz you are never more than 100 M (90ish feet) from a bottle - broken or otherwise.
I used this to pierce two holes in the sole section of the shoe and use the lace to turn it into a jandel/flip-flop/thong/sandle type of thing.
This lasted me a good distance up the road with minor running repairs using a bit of electric fencing i found on the verge.
When i finaly gave up repairing it i was almost home, so wipped off the other shoe to even me out and walk the last bit in my socks!
