Looks like a pump, feels like a sneaker

[Reign in Acai]

How many pairs of various footwear do you own? These vunts who stand in line at 3am to get the latest pair of Jordan's are bat shit insane. I got one pair of all purpose "sneakers" that I purchased 3 years ago. Wtf do I need 18 different pairs of shoes? Socks and undies ye can never have enough of, shoes on the other hand, pfft.


Total shoes = 5
--------------------------------

1- Work boots (Bates Ultra Lites)
1- New Balance 993 Running Shoes
1- Sandals (fancy shmancy brand which I forgot the name of)
1- Dress Shoe (Kenneth Cole)
1- Fashionable Stylish to go with dress shirts and be "semi-casual"

1- Casual Street Everyday Shoes (Timberland, good stuff, I need new ones though)
1- All-purpose Sports Shoes (Nike whatever, bought on sale for €35)
1- Lite Hiking Shoes (Salomon)

I usually only have one pair of sneakers that I make last for about 4 years or so, 1 pair of boots for the winter, and 1 pair of birkenstocks for the summer. And two pairs of dress shoes (one brown, one black). I don't count my work shoes/boots or old, beat up yardwork sneakers.

Three pairs of New Balance, a few years old each. I buy a pair of these about once a year since I wear them 99% of the time.
Three pairs of Birkenstocks, several years old each. One for the garage and back yard instead of sandals.
Two pairs of dress shoes, a few years old. I wear these one day per year, maybe.
One pair of hiking boots that have 40,000 miles left of wear because they only have 1,000 miles on them so far.
One pair of Doc Martens that are over a decade old and still plenty strong. I will never need to buy another pair.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Old New Balance shoes (2, 3, 4?) that I use for trail riding or cutting the grass.
old pair of Magnum boots, hardly ever wear.
Pair of New Balance that are needing to be replaced. Im on my feet 8 hours a day and need decent stuff.
Pair of Red Wing 607 boots that kick total ass.
Dress shoes.

I laughed hard at "40,000 miles"

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

I'm about to sound like such a woman. Six pairs of boots (Dr. Marten's knee-high, Dr. Marten's 8-eye, Timberland riding boots, Frye harness, Bearpaw fuzzy viking boots, Target version of Uggs), three pairs of athletic shoes (Brooks, Reebok, and Reebok), four pairs of hiking sandals (Keen, Keen, Teva, and Teva), three pairs of dressy sandals (cheap Target crap), one pair of Chuck Taylors, and one pair of old man Clarks. Numerous pairs of flip flops stashed here, there, and everywhere. I like having my options, and I take very good care of my shoes, especially my boots. Legs need boots.

My husband has just about as many shoes, mainly because I've bought them for him.

Five pairs i think

Got my adidas whatever forest hiking boots
Black army boots
$7 converse all star copies that i should throw the fuck away
Vibram fivefingers
Black shiny cheap ass dress shoes

All of them clearly fulfill different purposes so i think im ok

Hey man, they are Montrail hiking boots, you know how long that shit lasts!

 

[dorian gray]

Dude! *at least* 40,000!

; )

 

[NAD]

Truth. They've already outlasted my Subaru, haha.

 

[Hell Mike]

Viking Hunter High GTX, best hunting/hiking/outdoor boot I've tried, and I've tried on a lot.

Viking Icefighter, warm PU winter boots

Puma faas 300, wear these at the gym

Puma faas 600, wear these at work

Viking Vantage GTX, getting a bit too worn. Good everyday walking shoe with gore-tex, should upgrade to Anaconda Boa III GTX though.

(Black) IKEA $3 slippers

 

[einride]

you forgot your platemail dimmu borgir boots

 

[Hell Mike]

you forgot your platemail dimmu borgir boots

Ah yeah, did indeed but since I never ever wear them they don't really count. Used to wear them while hellbiking actually but the steel toe cap is too high for the gear shifter to be real comfy.

They look like this though

 

[Krilons Resa]

Well, in that case, I forgot to mention my Kiss' Gene Simmons' Destroyer boots:

 

[Hell Mike]

trade?

 

[Krilons Resa]

Not a chance.

 

[Vittra]

those would probably be even worse for gear shifting anyways.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I'm pretty sure if you are gonna rock them Bad Larry's that there is no need for a bike let alone some gears.
