Shoes

How far back does your shoe collection go?  I have a pair of Minnetonka moccasins from the 1960's!

when I graduated from nursing school in 1973 I splurged on my first pair of nice Italian leather shoes, Via Spiga open toe high heels. they were at a fancy store I couldn't afford to go to but they were on sale for 1/2 price, so I decided to treat myself.

I still have them and still wear them occasionally.

@MariotaMurielle  They seem like a good purchase.  Since your still wearing them,  you got your money's worth!

My oldest is a 7 year old pair of fur lined winter boots worn only a couple of times.   The rest of my shoes are less than 3 years old.  

My feet have changed significantly since my knee replacements.   I got rid of all of my shoes after my first surgery in 2012.  My every day shoes are replaced yearly, and my occasional shoes every 2-3 years.   I limit myself to 10 pair, and mainly buy Alegria, Brooks, and my last purchase was Propet.   

I have too much invested in my knees to wear worn shoes.

Really a good idea to replace everyday shoes each year.  I"ll keep that in mind!

About 25 years. I have a lot of shoes that I don’t wear very often.

I still have shoes from the 1980's when they were made in Italy or Spain.
