I keep mine until they wear out, as they get older they get relegated to work shoes, although most of the time I wear slide in clogs for working in (I do kitchen and bath remodeling, and tile and marble installation).

 

until the shoe seperates from the sole and the boot part.

 

I get a new pair of sneakers 3 to 4 times a year, i get a new pair of boots 2 to 3 times a year. The only shoes i keep for a long time are my dress shoes. Why? Cuz i like the leather sole totally worn out. That way i can run around drifting in my Guccis, makes me feel like tom cruise in that one movie with the briefs. Soooo much fun i reccomend it to anyone!

 

I get two pairs a year. When my sneakers get old, I save them for when I have to do work around the house, on the car or yard work.
My dress/work shoes last a while. I may get a new pair if need be every few years.

 

yeah...i have like about 4 pairs of shoes now...lol...but the longest is like 3 years i guess

 

Whenever my shoes start to look old and out of style i'll go get another pair.
