I was going through the news and found this interesting little bit. It has a few other little survey factoids tucked in it also. I had to stop and think how many I go through a year. I think I am somewhere around 4-6 pairs annually. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080401/lf_nm_life/sneakers_leaders_dc;_ylt=Aq7YxYbSrjX80_ViA1K3dyB34T0D

I hardly ever buy any. Surprise, surprise [:D] . (If I wear trainers, it's for fashion purposes, so I go for the 'old skool' type, not the yacht shaped monstrosities that look like baby contraptions.)

ditto Also I'm the boring type that always buys Reebok Classic in black because I know they fit. I hate my trainers to look too complicated and they should weigh more than my big toe.

I buy multiples at an outlet store I like: Hi-Tec. I don't think it means anything: correlative data is not evidence of a causal relationship.

Running shoes, about two pair a year. Used to go through a lot more, but I don't run much anymore. For everyday and work, I'm a "Born" man. They are so comfortable and made so well they last a looooong time. Worth every penny, imo.

I buy sneakers probably every other year or so. Lately it's been hard to find a replacment for my current ones.

I hate my trainers to look too complicated and they should weigh more than my big toe. I buy the "Roebuck Classic" in black. This pair that I use to go to the gym on the treadmill and walks etc is about 7 years old and the fuckers just won't wear out! I think I paid $26 for them. I have a pair of "Wolverine" hiking boots that just will not wear out too. Those are a little "expensive" at $129 but very comfortable.

I've got a pair of Adidas for workouts, and a pair of classic black Converse that I've had since 10th grade. They are seriously some of the nastiest, most worn-out sneakers you'll ever see, but they're comfortable and I love them. So I don't buy sneakers that often... But every time I leave the house I usually come back with one or two new pairs of heels, I wonder what that says about me? [:D] My count's up to 40+ pairs of shoes and I can't fit them all in my closet.

I've never owned any. I wear wooden clogs when I work and Dr Martins when I go out.

I own one pair of running shoes that a friend gave me almost two years ago. I think I've worn them twice. I wear my fashion-y kicks all the time, though. Skate shoes, Dunks, retro shoes, Court Forces...I'm a sneaker whore.

sub4hire -> RE: So, How many pairs do you buy? (4/4/2008 5:06:58 PM)
Sneakers, I buy when they wear out. I can wear them most all the time, unless going out somewhere. To work...around home. An average pair lasts me anywhere from 3-4 months before the treads wear off the bottom. Only thing I care about name wise is all white. Whether it be Nike, Reabok..or what have you.

I have to buy about 3 pair a year. They don't fall apart, but if you exercise by walking or running, the cushion gives out quite easilly. I forget how often you're supposed to trade them in, but if you walk or run a lot, you will notice a big difference if you don't.

I generally buy 1-2 pair of sneaks a year; my shoe of choice is these: http://www.conversationshoes.com/ They are durable, washable and very comfortable.

Puma for me. I have several pairs, including some i got in the US, for a quarter of the price i pay in the UK. I have one pair thought that i have had 4 years and they fit like slippers and are not too worn out.

pahunkboy -> RE: So, How many pairs do you buy? (4/4/2008 5:24:43 PM)
not really. the so called styles look like clown shows. so- i wait.

TribeTziyon -> RE: So, How many pairs do you buy? (4/4/2008 5:57:25 PM)
It's not real percise in my life. I wear them for work.

I forget how often you're supposed to trade them in, but if you walk or run a lot, you will notice a big difference if you don't. Even if you are just on your feet alot. After one awful bout with plantar fasciitis, I will never take my feet for granted again. I keep them clad in good quality, relatively new sneakers so that I can keep hiking and doing my thing.
