RE: Collectors - To Wear or to Display ? - deftoned - 25-04-07

I've only got a few pairs myself, but i don't think i'd ever get to the point where i wouldn't wear them, and I've sworn only to buy soups that i really like, not ones that have been hyped just because everyone else wants them. I stil have my first pair of soups (only 8 years old now) that I still wear every now and then, thrashed to death, and when I buy a new pair I find it hard not to wear them every day for the first week

I wear every pair as often as I can but keep 'em all clean as, basically if I leave the house i'm wearing SS.
I keep mine on a six tier shoe rack in my bedroom but now they're on my dresser,
side tables and everywhere else too and the boxes are all stacked in my cupboard and two drawers
are filled with laces, keyrings, stickers, booklets, adicolor stripes etc. and shoe cleaning gear.
When I get enough kicks i'd like to do a floor to ceiling, wall to wall shoe display
but I might need one of those ladders on rollers like they have in big library's so I can rock the pairs up the top.

I only buy in my size and I wear every pair I have. I take good care of them though and some I won't wear if it's raining or snowing, especially the suede ones. I don't consider myself a collector as I really only buy what I like, rare or not. They're not on display, but most of them are piled in boxes at the same place so they're kinda hard to miss...

1) the main reason i buy sneakers is to wear them. i always have and will love fresh footwear.

2) i only buy in my size, yes. why not?

3) mine are displayed in a cupboard with glass doors. not really "displayed" though, as they're in their boxes.



4) i'd say i'm an enthusiast, not really a collector, since i haven't got that many pairs yet. would like some more though, but i gotta have my monthly dose of vinyl as well

That's a nice cupboard mate: records, liquor and Superstars - fit a woman and a pizza in there too and you'll have everything you ever need in one place!
