FabSwingers.com forum: How many shoes do you buy a year?

By *hagTonight OP Man

From the land of haribos.

It first depends on if I have a need for a specific pair then I might get more, but normally, for personally use I usually just buy 1 pair of trainers, because I use them a lot, like running and walking.

That is why I dont really buy too expensive ones, because my shoes get worn out pretty quick, how about you, how many sows do you buy?

Probably about 3/4 pairs of trainers. This year though I’ll have to by some winter boots/shoes as my current ones are a little worse for wear.

It use to be 2 pairs of safety boots as I managed wear out a paur every 6 months or so and had no interest in the clothing I was wearing beyond it looking sufficiently clean and respectible. Shoes were just another part of the costume I used to hide in plain sight.

In the last year it has been about 12 pairs as my appearance has become far more important to me and suddenly want to look as good as I can manage and want a range of shoes/boots that complement the rest of the outfits

I might get 2-3 years out of a pair of trainers.

I’ve got a pair of walking boots that are 13 years old and still in great nick.

A pair of weightlifting shoes, 3 years.

Don’t own regular shoes.

I’m a cheap and very low maintenance dresser.

No. I dont think so. I have bought expensive ones before and the same happens. I think it depends how much you use them, so you might as well save money and get cheaper ones instead

Nah, sorry, not a massive New Balance Fan...not Nike....too much American styling on most... although I did waste like 180 quid on a pair of New Balance X Comme Des Garçons, RC30 in the sale to realise I don't actually like them that much

I haven't bought any this year... I'm really fussy and couldn't find any I liked as much as the last ones I bought for summer. So just wearing the old ones until they fall apart.

I bought 3 new pairs of winter boots last year, so should be good for this winter.

Good Choice my man.....and 8 years is good going out of Tigers....my one criticism of them, is that there soles are slightly thin.....but I am heavy footed and especially on the ball of my foot....the pitfalls of playing football all my life apparently

For myself maybe one or two pairs. It depends when my trainers and sandals wear out. I don't tend to wear other shoes much. My walking boots and sensible work shoes get occasional use.

But I also have to sort out shoes for 3 children and a husband who despises shoe shopping - so quite a few

On average 2 pairs, unless I'm going out somewhere and want a specific pair.

I hate shoe shopping so much.

I'm dreading having to buy new winter boots, as the nice ones are always too high, or not warm enough.

I've been wearing the same everyday comfy shoes for almost two years because I haven't found a replacement for them.

They're fit for the bin now.

Ooh good question.

I would say maybe five or six pairs. I do buy fairly cheap though. Once I start working again I'm going to invest in good quality everyday shoes.

So far this year I've bought two pairs of Converse, a pair of red heels from Next, and two pairs of flat ballet type shoes from Penneys.

Really depends but mostly a pair of converse, winter boots and maybe some wedges for the summer. I always buy a ton of flip flops, about 5 or 6 pairs. After that its if I need a specific pair or if something pretty catches my eye.
