Re: Hesitate to wear new shoes

I got an email this morning from Dooney & Bourke about leather tennis shoes for sale on their site now.  I had no ideal they sold shoes.  I went and looked and they are asking $455.00 for the tennis shoes.  I would never take them out of the box in fear of dust getting on them.  Cannot imagine wearing those on a grocery store run.

Re: Hesitate to wear new shoes

@beckyb1012 Wow, yes, I hear you. I don't think I've ever paid that for even a pair of nice boots! I remember saving up to buy a pair of Frye boots when I was in my late teens. They were expensive (to a kid making minimum wage) but I wanted them so I saved for them and I got a lot of good use out of them for many years.

Wear them ladies, and then use a good repair guy.

@seaglass1  Yes, I tend to do that with new shoes, until there's an occasion where I really should wear them!
