Walk a mile in my...

Shoes! Jason is picturing his latest sneakers, which prompted me to think of my "everyday" shoes. I bought them two years ago, using credits from Keith's Cabela's card, on sale at a Cabela's for $30. That may not sound like such a bargain, except that I know I will wear them for five years.

I know this because I had another pair, the same HiTec brand, when my kids were little and we were dirt poor. I wore that pair DAILY, replacing the shoe strings occasionally, throughout their preschool years. The first pair I bought new in an Army/Navy surplus store in Missoula, MT.



They are no longer the only pair I own. I like to think that "for a girl" I only have a modest collection.

Ah yes, that's when you know you've got a "good" shoe--when it lasts so long that you have to replace the shoelaces.

You own so many shoes Terri (at least, more than I thought you would).

How many pair do you have?

Jason said...

Four. I have four pairs of shoes. Three "sneakers" and a pair of black "dress shoes" (for funerals, weddings, and job interviews).

I feel like I OWN TOO MANY, but as you state in your post--you really don't own that many "for a girl."

I like it when blogs "cross pollinate" one another, by the way (and I LOVE to see my name printed anywhere). I have issues...

Jason - you are hilarious! "I love to see my name printed".

Mom - You have more shoes than me.... ! You should see Kathleens collection... its worse than her prior purse obsession! :) You should have her send a pic.

My daily shoes are "Shoes for Crews" required by PF CHANGs.... so NOT comfortable.

If by "hilarious" you mean "attention whore" then I guess I agree with you Priscilla...

Keith owns 9 pair (mostly work boots for different applications), while I own 14 pair.
