The difference between theory and practice is - in theory there's no 
difference -
in practice, there is!


(Which actually means that theory is usually incomplete)

If only part of the shoe contacts, then that part will overheat and 
fade, while the rest of the lining does nothing.
Does not sound like a good deal to me.

Then, the center part of the lining is destroyed, wears away, and the 
other 2/3 of the shoe makes contact?

Still don't ever get good braking.
