If it is still wearable and the design is still fashionable, why not. There are lots of shoes that really looks good when they grew up. One of them is the Chuck Taylor canvass design shoes of Converse. I have one of those which I used when I'm still in college and I still wear them after so many years. They still feel quite cool and good on my feet.

I usualy only keep shoes a year before replacing them regardless of their condition.

I have bad feet, so I prefer to wear old shoes so that my feet won't hurt as bad. If they are in good condition, and old, it doesn't matter to me. I rather wear old shoes that are comfortable, then have new ones which kill my feet.

True, sometimes the old shoes are more comfortable than the new ones.

If they are still in decent shape, I will continue wearing them. I think shoes are just starting to feel good when they start to wear out. The older the shoe and the more wear that they have, the more comfortable they are. I hate to buy new shoes as I have a hard time finding them to fit me and so I am sort of partial to the ones that I already have.

Great! Now you have a pair of new shoes. I believe you will like them the same as you like the old ones.

Definitely, I do a lot of walking, and my feet take a lot of punishment, I don't care if my shoes are old as long as they are comfortable, I believe comfort before fashion. I did buy a brand new pair of shoes which I have had for some time and they give me bad blisters on my feet, they are in very good condition but they hurt my feet. My other walking shoes are very old but they are comfortable and great for walking in, I don't want to replace them.

I don't like wasting things. So as long as my shoes are still fine, I will wear them. It is no need to throw them away. I don't mind it's old fashon. After all, I am not a fashion follower. Comfortable feeling is what I care about.

If they're just a bit old but still in good condition yes, if they are already starting to degrade then no.

Hello dear Madonal. I have a pair of Apple brand shoes. It is as old as four years, but still in very good condition and I am wearing this pair of shoes. I think that it will at least last one more year. So it does not matter to me so long as my shoes are still in good condition.

Yeah, it is no point to throw them away if they are still in good condition.

I only own two pairs of shoes a pair of sandals and a pair of hiking/ work boots. I wear the work boots whenever I need to protect my feet from possible hazardous conditions, or when I'm doing a lot of strenuous walking. In all other times, I wear sandals.
