finally had to retire my nike's after 6 years of wearing them every day of those 6 years...only due to the fact i was to cheap to replace them. So i broke down today and went to the nex and got a cheap pair of addias running shoes and new socks ( since i was already spending the money) ...it was worth it end of story :noel:
anyone else done this or is currently ...
-
I have 10 pairs of shoes and I buy a new pair at least once a year. I wouldnt use a sniper rifle in a bathroom firefight and I wouldnt use a hand gun at 500 yards. Same with my shoes.
-
I actually did the same thing recently. My old Nikes were fucking up my feet while doing PT and also letting in water through a hole in the sole so I went to the nex and bought a new pair. I didn't go with new socks though.

i do this and save them for when i swim in creeks, carp hunting, cliff jumping, and such(so i can walk/run on rocks in the water). sometimes my shoes die before a year. but i always buy the 20$ special at big 5. i use it for everything including work. i try for a dark color of shoe because there always dirty. and when the sole gets worn i usually will go buy a sole insert to make it last longer.

I can't buy Walmart shoes...
When I was a kid, my parents would buy me similar stuff. As I got older, and my parents had more money, they'd buy me "decent" shoes and IMO the comfort/durability difference is worth the cost... Maybe things have changed since then, but the klunky, ugly, heavy, uncomfortable wally-world shoes weren't worth the small price. Other than a pair of shell-toe Adidas, I've been rocking the same style New Balance shoes for years. 2 pairs for $80 FTW.
-
I buy a set of boots every 3-7 years, I try to milk them for at LEAST two years after they are dead. I maintain one pair of $7 Walmart velcro sandals for river duty. And I had a set of Vans that lasted ~10 years, shame they aren't made that well anymore.

I've rocked a pair of $25 Walmart Brahma boots for 5 years... The steel toe has saved me a couple times with gas powered tampers.

Rivers have rocks. Very sharp and slippery rocks. I retired a pair of Nike Shox for river duty, saved my ass a few times.

I never understood the ppl that are more worried about keeping their shoes clean than they value their own life, i have some friends that buy the expensive ass nike sb's that range form 200-1200, fucking stupid. Shoes are meant to be fucking worn, theyre fucking SHOES, whats the point in buying some expensive ass shoes, hardly wearing them, and trying to keep them clean and going to a party only to sit in the corner away form everyone so your shoes dont get fucked up. Thats like buying some drag radials or racing tires but not doing burnouts/launching or hard cornering with them because you dont want to wear them out, well thats what THEY WERE FUCKING MADE FOR YA FAGGOT.

No, rivers have broken glass because drunk asses drop their beer bottles out on the river.

5yo irish setters
3yo redwings
2yo redwings
all have been resoled at least 2 times. just got to mink oil them about once a month to keep them supple.

thanks JD for the rant.
cheapy shoes as I've not found anything decent that fits. Lake and Trail hikers from Meijers but they no longer carry them. My cheapy Wally World shoes last about 6-9 months and I don't care if they turn green from cutting the grass or black from cleaning transmissions.
Also when you have a gout attack, that velcro is a lifesaver!!!!

I wear my shoes till they wear out. Then I'll buy new ones and use old ones for working on cars or anything else.

I like my shoes how I like my women. Worn the fuck out by black men.

Quite drinking and I get them more often.
I haven't fired up the grill this year, cutting back on the meat has helped.

I had a neighbor a couple of years ago that had it bad his joints were always puffy.
The doc told him he had to give up red meat or beer.
He didnt eat red meat for years.
He never got drunk ever.
