Annual Sneaker Purchase

April 25th, 2020 at 01:24 am

It was time for my annual purchase of sneaker shoes and I did it online since stores are closed. I typically order clothes online but shoes have been different – I feel like I need to try them on to make sure the size is okay. The shoes arrived and they’re fine. It was actually a time-saver so I’ll consider purchasing online next year.

Each year in the spring I purchase a new pair and my current pair becomes my yard shoes. That pair eventually gets green soles from fresh-cut grass and dirt stains from the flower beds. I use them until Octoberish when the last mowing is done for the year, then I throw them away. The following spring my everyday sneakers become my yard shoes when I buy a new pair.

Do others rotate shoes? Or do you purchase a pair to be yard shoes from the start? Or do you stay cleaner than me in the yard?

    I miss having yard shoes! Where we live lawns (half weeds) are cut for us. Yes, I always used an old pair of shoes for mowing. I walk so much in mine, I purchase new every 6-8 months.

    Well, I don't have a yard! I do save my old shoes, though, after purchasing new -- for painting, walking in wet areas, etc.

    DH has yard shoes which are older shoes after he's bought newer ones. And they are just plain nasty after a summer and fall in the yard.
