I finally got a new pair after 11 years. yes eleven Of course, I've never worn them to work or for long walks, but I've cleaned sidewalks and driveways in them, mowed the lawn twice a week, cut trees for long hours a few times a season, put them on for short visits to the grocery store, wore them for small renovations and projects around the house. In short, they have been on my feet every day for 11 years. This time I chose a different color. Diversity is the spice of life.
