How to Maximize Your Footwear Investment

Aug

Buy these shoes. Wear them until they look like this.

If you would like to replicate this experiment, you can get the shoes here (and apparently nowhere else, I don’t know why). They’ll set you back about $90, but if they last you 6+ years of all-day, every-day wear before they start to disintegrate (as mine did), that works out to about $15 a year.

If you own and routinely wear more than one pair of shoes, your per annum cost will actually approach zero!

The New Balance 998 earns “Crazy Greg’s Seal of Approval”!

I’m a frugal, trend-setting fashion plate! (And, unlike Tommy Hilfiger, I do not have a monkey face… at least I don’t think I do.)

You should get them resoled.

Or bronzed.

Either way, RESULT!

Bronzing’s not a bad idea, but, frighteningly enough, I still wear them (sometimes)!
