Well, I figure I can spend more on shoes at the time, and take good care of them, so they last longer. I have one pair of docs, ECCO sandals, Adidas running shoes, nike running shoes, Johnston & Murphy dress shoes, and buying a pair of Kenneth Cole or Unlisted dress "boots" soon. (Bought everything on sale tho, most were the Johnston & Murphy's at around 130, with the retail being 180)
You need different shoes for different clothes, what can I say.
