What is the longest amount of time you have worn the same pair of shoes? Also, what did you use them for?
I've been using one pair of running/all purpose shoes for 8 years. They are my favorite pair ever but are nearing the end as a hole is wearing in the toe. They have been used for cross country, track, lawn mowing, and just about anything else you can think of.

My trainers i've worn lasted for 3 years. I just bought a new one recently, but i like my old one since i am used to it. 8 years i think is insane. My foot grows a little which is the only reason why i need to buy new shoes.

i'm still using my favorite 6 year old pair of shoes (I3 by Reebok). i used it in almost all of my activities daily, and yet it's still wearable but not during rainy season cause water get inside the shoes. maybe the sole is wearing off.
i really can't believed that it lasted this long despite all the activities it gone through..
i also have a 3 and a 2 year old pair of shoes.
and now i'm planning to buy a new pair of shoes.

Hmmm, i can't really remember the longest time I have worn a certain shoe. I just happened to look into some shoe boxes and I saw one shoe that I have since I guess ten years now. I don't really use it except when it rains and or the roads are muddy, sometimes I pair it with jeans, it's like a hiking shoes and looks like a boots. I thought I have given it away a few years back and it was still there. My rubber shoes for walking or just for anything I use it longer and shoes for office or anyday shoes. The longest would be 2 - 3 years because there are new trends available and sometimes my cousins and I exchange shoes.

I usually change shoes once every year in the Christmas and new year. I'm not the person that changes fashion so fast.Especially I found out the more you wear, the more soft and comfortable the shoes are.
I had worn a pair of shoes for 2 years, that was my mom's gift and also the longest time I have worn the same pair of shoes but your time of 8 years wearing the same pair of shoes, that's amazing. How could you keep those that durable?
