How long do you keep your shoes before buying a new pair?

Let me put it this way. I have shoes older than you.

@Mamapolo2016 Last year I finally replaced a pair of boots I bought in 1984.
🎶 Do you have some boots that you really love? Boots that you feel so groovy in? Ya don't even care if they're scuffed and worn, that only makes them nicer still. I love my boots, I love my boots. My boots are so comfortably lovely.🎶. @hunkalove
@Mamapolo2016 In my high school year book, Donovan was my last name!
I usually focus on the sole of the matter. I mean, what profit has a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own sole?

I take care of my shoes and have pairs older than dirt
@SW-User I discovered that spraying a good dose of Pledge on my dress shoes, letting them sit a bit, and then buffing it in, will prevent water spots on rainy days! It doesn't ruin them for regular shining either.

I buy only quality shoes and they virtually last forever. I have several pairs of shoes that are more than a decade old.

Until they become unwearable by destruction.

Until they fall apart.

@SW-User True. You should see the shoes I'm wearing now. A big hole at the heel. Hope they last until Spring.

Till they are very worn. Till like water starts to get in. But I have to wear steel toe at work but same goes for them pretty much. I will wear my old ones at times around the house.

I hate clothes shopping and have no interest in any of it.
So it tends to be when i get home and realise i have a wet patch on a sock !

@SW-User There's a few good brand's at speciality stores. But you pay dearly for them. Last pair I bought was over $200.

I bought 2 pair and switch them out regularly to save on wear/ been 2 years on them.

The regular shoes are only average quality just don't wear them often.

@Callmewhatyouwill with girls footwear usually our prices don't go that much unless sports wear
@SW-User very specific good quality work boots run around that much as an average.

Waterproof/composite toe leather with thick soles.

Add in the insoles and leather cleaner/oil and time spent cleaning and it get more expensive over time.

But better than shitty boots that's have to be replaced every other month or leave you feet hurting all day.

I walk a lot. So whenever I wear out the supports. About 4 to 5 pairs a year I go thru.

There is no time frame, I just buy them when I like them or need them.
