How often do you buy everyday shoes?

[We Are The Witches]

I am talking about shoes you wear normally on a daily basis, not for special occasions (like when you go with grandma to the theatre), nor for specialized activity (like sports shoes you only wear when going out to run).

 

[Shamefuru Disprayu]

I wear boots, I have two pairs a waterproof pair for winter and the other pair for summer. And I try to make them last for years.
I'm tempted to pick up a set of Solovairs for everything that isn't work.

 

[Haloperidol]

Every day, duh

And I try to make them last for years.

Yeah, but roughly how many years?

It's not the same 2, as opposed to 15.

Spoiler: TLDR Boring Boot Shit

One pair has a lifetime warranty, they are made by a company called Redwing so hopefully I won't have to replace them for a long time.
The other pair is just some shitty Reebok boot, I'll hopefully get at least two years out of them.

When I used to wear Doc Martens I would get 2-3 years out of a pair, but their quality has tanked so I stopped buying.

So roughly every 2-3 years.

My work shoes last for a couple of years before getting too flat and worn out, I was getting Sketchers slip-on work shoes for a while, but I recently switched to a boot style since that's what I prefer.
These are my current shoes:

I have a family member who's workplace gives her a Shoes for Crews voucher every year but she doesn't actually have to wear specific shoes for work, so she orders shoes for me instead.

I ride my bike to work, am largely on my feet, and also go on walks during my break, so I probably should replace my shoes annually.

 

[Most Wanted Banana]

I usually buy 2~3 pairs every year.

I have around 20 pairs of shoes and I'd buy another 20 every month if I could.

 

[Lip Glossary]

I have had the same pair of boots for the past 15 years or so, I only have to get them resoled about every 3 or 4 years. Those are my everyday walking around shoes.
I do wear sneakers on occasion but since I wear them so infrequently I only need a new pair every few years.

i dont wear shoes i am not GAY and afraid of DIRT

 

[OrionBalls]

I buy new hiking sandals once a year. The only time I don't wear them is when the temperature is under 20°F. Then I have a pair of boots that are on their third year. They are my only shoes. Why are you a foot fetishist?

 

[Rogue AI]

My particular brand of autism is an obsession with American manufactured shoes. For everyday, I mostly buy SAS because they're actual cobblers who will resole their products. The last ones I bought were a pair of Thorogood work shoes, but for work shoes, I read that Reebok are actually manufacturing work shoes for postal workers in America so I've been looking into getting a pair of those.

[2mm and 99 others]

I buy salomon sneakers about once a year so I can have at least one nice and one ugly old pair for warm&dry weather, and the same for cold&wet conditions.

 

[tehpope]

every 2-3 years.

 

[Le b0wski]

I usually just buy new platform shoes when I find a taller one, I'm at about 2ft of platform at the moment.

 

[Jason Wynn]

I have a pair of steel-toed work boots that I wear almost every day. Splurged on them and they’ve lasted me a good four years now and still look great.

Have three different pairs of sneakers I’ll wear when I’m not working, usually replace a pair every couple of years or so.

Have a pair of black leather dress shoes I’ll wear for nights out that I’ve had for about three years.

 

[OutInTheRain]

I have had the same pair of boots for 8 years, they get worn five days a week and have seen heavy use. The sole is going on them and I might have a year left.

As for shoes, depending on style and type. Every two to five years for just something to walk around in. Longer depending on where you wear them and how often. Running shoes I kill in a year, maybe two.

 

[Nickel Silver]

It would be longer if I could find shoes that were made of actual leather.

 

[Diet Coke 4 Life]

Daily wears are indoor cycling sneakers, treadmill sneakers and slippers.

Treadmills are amazingly effective at stripping tread from shoe bottoms. The treadmill shoes get replaced, and then become cycling sneakers for my indoor trainer because tread isn't really required when you use toe-basket pedals indoors. But toe-clips destroy shoe sidewalls and toes, so those things get trashed as soon as the next treadmill set gets retired. So... I suppose we can say that a set of sneakers will last 2 years, with one year on each trainer type.

Slippers get replaced annually because I live my life in them. Yay being old-faggy enough to not work for a living anymore.

 

[Pruto]

Once every 2 years just because I sadly can't go everywhere barefoot like a fucking animal like I usually do.
