They are great for the snow and ice! I wish they had a zipper, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-i-got-my-money%e2%80%99s-worth#post-2377708 Mon, 06 Jan 2025 22:00:30 +0000 JAileen 2377708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharan, they’re great, aren’t they?</p> <p>Angie, I know you really walk a lot, so for your shoes to last that long is pretty amazing. How do you like your Sperry boots? &nbsp;I have a pair lined with sheepskin that I wear to the pool. &nbsp;I don’t bother tying the laces and kind of wished they zipped instead.<br /><div><br /></div><div>Kkards, I think because these are made for hiking over rocks, etc., that’s why they lasted as long as they did.</p> <p>Carla, OMG your poor husband! &nbsp;I had several pairs of Columbia hiking pants that I wore out. &nbsp;I wish that I had kept track of my wears. &nbsp;It was a lot because that’s all I wore for several years. Re shoes: I’ll keep wearing Salomons. &nbsp;They work with my big toes, are waterproof, and have good traction.</div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-i-got-my-money%e2%80%99s-worth#post-2377701 Mon, 06 Jan 2025 21:10:36 +0000 Carla 2377701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very good! &nbsp;Will you replace with similar, or do you have another pair in the rotation already? &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>DH had to toss a pair of pants yesterday. &nbsp;We went grocery shopping, and when we got home, he mentioned he was feeling a cold draft. &nbsp;Looking down there was a 7 inch tear where the fabric had failed. &nbsp;Considering he bought them in 2018 after we retired, I’d say he’s had a good run. &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-i-got-my-money%e2%80%99s-worth#post-2377700 Mon, 06 Jan 2025 20:53:17 +0000 kkards 2377700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. 7 years! For well worn sneakers I usually get 2 years before the soles are worn down and they become uncomfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-i-got-my-money%e2%80%99s-worth#post-2377692 Mon, 06 Jan 2025 18:31:05 +0000 Angie 2377692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sharing my oldest pairs of shoes on this thread too. Why not! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>These are between 5 and 10 years old. Some going strong because they are infrequently worn. Some need replacing.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-i-got-my-money%e2%80%99s-worth#post-2377690 Mon, 06 Jan 2025 17:41:51 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2377690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's great to see!

My average for my daily use shoes is about 4-5 years. </p> <p>My oldest shoes in my wardrobe are two pairs of cowgirl boots. One pair is 12 years old and worn 111 times. My sister has the same pair (we got them together) in a different color. </p> <p>The other pair of cowgirl boots is 11 years old and worn 88 times. My sister bought me those during a birthday trip. I'll never get rid of either pair of boots because of the sentimental value, and they are both well made and can be resoled in the future.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-i-got-my-money%e2%80%99s-worth#post-2377656 Sun, 05 Jan 2025 23:39:41 +0000 JAileen 2377656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We went out on a local birding outing and I noticed that my shoes had started to come apart. &nbsp;I’ve worn Salomons for more than fifteen years and they are very well made. I looked up to see when I got these: in 2017 - over seven years ago! &nbsp;I guess I got my money’s worth. &nbsp;</p> <p>My earlier post showing my wearing something to death:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-my-money’s-worth">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....’s-worth</a></p>
