New Shoes

[hantsbear]

I hate buying new shoes.
Well, that's not quite true.  It's not the buying of the things; it's the month or so of blisters and covering my feet in sticking plaster, mainly because I can only really buy inexpensive shoes not tailored to my feet.  When I get a pair that are comfortable, I wear them until the soles wear out.  Sometimes, I strike lucky and get a pair that are comfy straight away - bliss!  I tend to wander around the office in socks, preferring to kick my shoes under my desk.
I had to buy new shoes yesterday.  I think they will be ok but time will tell...

I found that it was absolutely worth splurging on shoes (well, boots in my case) ... they fit wonderfully after breaking in (still had to suffer through that) but they LASTED so much longer ... this first pair I bough some five years ago is still good, after resoling. Ended up being cheaper in the long run, and no breaking in required.

I have several pairs of shoes.

The wear is evenly distributed amongst them.

New Balance shoes are very comfortable.
