I had a pair of red Bill Blass flats that I had resoled several times. I loved those shoes. The leather just grew softer and softer and fit me better and better. I cried when I threw them away. You should only keep old shoes if they are a really good fit that just keeps getting better and better. Anything else, pffft. My lovely fitting old shoe just got home. So I am off!

But old shoes are so comfortable. I have a pair of hiking boots I use at work that must be nearly ten years old. They're quite heavy, made of very thick leather, with steel shanks. I get them resoled every year, which runs about $75. But alas, the leather is getting dry and cracked and I will surely have to retire them soon.
