Yesterday while on my way to work the shoe laces I haven't re-tied for an unreasonable amount of time broke. I looked down on my several years old Goodyear Adidas and realized that while I could just buy new laces, it really was time to retire these shoes. I've always like Adidas because of how well they fit my feet, but also because they're probably some of the best quality sneakers I've ever worn. When people who are into cheap alternatives ask me why I buy something that cost more money, I always tell them it's an investment. More so than any other piece of clothing. Because the amount of time Adidas lasts for me without breaking makes them actually pretty cheap. Granted, they don't always look brand new at some point but that's when they're the most comfortable.

Thusly I've commenced on a hunt for new sneakers which will probably end up being Adidas but certainly open to other brands if they're good looking I suppose.

So how about you?

What's your brand of choice?

Ever buy any extravagantly expensive sneakers?

And how long do you usually wear sneakers before you upgrade to a new pair?

Discuss!
