These are my daily walkers, BMX riders, rainy day shoes, and mechanic work shoes. Left shoe not pictured, but I’m sure you get the idea…
Yes I do have a few much nicer pairs of shoes for nice or important occasions, but I’d rather fully wear out one pair of shoes at a time.
So, what’s your worn out shoes looking like?
People think I am nuts, but I only have 1 pair of sneakers and I try to make them last at least 2 years, if not 3, before getting a new pair. I know its time if they are failing apart or I start to realize my feet hurt and its most likely due to the worn out shoes that have no more comfort or cushion.
Fair play, but coming from a fellow knucklehead…
Keep a couple of extra backup pairs of shoes brand new in the closet. Same with pants and shirts.
I definitely have nicer clothing put up for later, but when I know I don’t need nicer clothing, I’d rather use my junker shoes and clothes whenever I gotta do dirty jobs like mechanic work.
Well I do have sandals, boots, and a pair of dress shoes as well. I normally keep my old pair as a backup, they are perfect for cutting the grass and not getting my new shoes green.
