Re: breaks
Replacing the shoes will not help because shoes are self adjusting.
Bleed the brakes, there could be air in the system which would create a spongy feeling in the pedal and since air is compressible it will create a longer pedal.
Check all of the rubber brake lines by the wheels.
Hope this helps.

Re: breaks
Well you probably will have to bleed every wheel if you believe there's been air in the system for a while. Bleed every caliper one at a time until fresh fluid is all that will bleed out.
