ProudGrandma Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 have you ever bought 2 pair of the EXACT same pair of shoes just because you love them so much that you want a spare for when the first pair wears out?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Yes. And I wish I'd done it with so, so many more shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KS_ Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 have you ever bought 2 pair of the EXACT same pair of shoes just because you love them so much that you want a spare for when the first pair wears out?? I've done it more than once. And sometimes I've wished I'd gotten a third pair, especially when I've found good "house" shoes to wear around the house.

intp4yhwh Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Sure have! DH really went all out once with work boots - he found a pair that fit well, and when they were discontinued & discounted, he went and bought about 5 pairs. He's still has a pair or two left, and is sooooo glad he did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) I haven't done it with shoes, but I do it all the time with clothes. I wish I had done it with the purple Clarks that I bought on sale last summer. They were like this but in purple nubuck. I think I might need to buy them in two or three more colours when they next go on sale. I have wide feet and need good support and they are the most comfortable shoes in the world. I like the funky look too. Oooh, oooh, I want these! Laura Edited May 18, 2012 by Laura Corin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyJoy Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) Yes. I have 3 pairs of water shoes that I bought at the end of last season because they were exactly what I wanted in in fit, style, and color and I know they won't be for sale again. I also have bought multiples of the same shirt, pants, and dresses when I find something I really like. Sometimes they are different colors, but sometimes they are replacements. We also bought DH 7!!!! pairs of the same shoes about 2 years ago. They aren't particularly wonderful, but he is hard on shoes and they were on clearance in his size for $5. He was wearing out his much more expensive work shoes in less than a year, and I think he's only on #3 or 4 of 7 at this point.

Heather in AL Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Oh, yes. Several times. In fact, right now, I have two 'spares' of my favorite summer sandals in my closet. I just stick the boxes high up and out of the way until they are needed. Like others who have posted, I have also done the same with jeans, tops, undergarments, slippers... pretty much everything. The best is when I can buy said items on sale or even better..... *clearance*! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaZ Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I do. Especially with my Clarks. (I didn't buy a second set of red mules and I lament that every winter.) I will also buy the same shoe in different colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Dh does this with good work shoes. He's outside and normally rough with his shoes. So, instead of buying new work shoes every 3 months or so, he buys a pair and test drives them for a week, then goes back for a few more pairs. Works great. I'm a big fan of he 80s and 90s. I loved boots that looked like Dr. Martins but were more comfortable than monkey boots. I wish I had bought enough to last me. I outgrew my last pair when my last pregnancy increased my shoe size. I hopeful that they will come back in style soon. After all, I see the early-mid 80s neon coming back. Grunge can't be that far off. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athena1277 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Yes. Keds. I lived in those for years and still would if they would come back in style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermom Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I often wish I had! My favorite black suede heels are wearing out and I am so sad, and I can't find anything I like to replace them with either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Oh yes. Dh always get 2 pair, and I do if I really love a pair. We've also done it w/ ds, because he is so hard to buy for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
