I really don't care about my shoes, so long as my feet are warmish and dryish then I'm happy. At any one time I own maybe 4 pairs, including my boots and house slippers. When my shoes get too ragged for wearing outside I use them for yardwork and then I'll wear them until there's practically nothing left of them...
