I found a New Balance that I really liked, wore them for years. Then of course they stopped making them. Found a place online that still had some, bought 6 pairs. My kids think that's the height of dorkiness, but...
So I wear one out, then it becomes the yard shoes, or I take out the laces and use them in the RV when I have to step outside in the mud for a short while.
I have one pair of moccasins, one pair of black loafers, and one pair of black oxfords, for when I have to "dress up". And that's it.
Leaves plenty of space in the closet for Mrs O's boatload of shoes.
