School ready for revamp
Revamp: to replace the vamp, or the upper of a shoe. Nothing to do with vamping, or being vampish in the way of Vampira Queen of the Night who vants to suck your blood.
It's an extensive change -- a revamped shoe would be stripped back to the sole and remade. This word is best reserved for an extreme make-over, rather than a lick of paint and some new hanging baskets.
