Waste? When you get new shoes, do you keep the shoe box?

Went round a mates house today and he keeps all his trainers in their respective shoe box neatly stacked up & organised.

I throw the box away and just bung em in the cupboard. Can't be arsed with shoe racks.

Bit of both. I have 3 pairs of trainers I wear all the time they sit under my wardrobe. But I do have a shit load of other trainers that I have worn once or maybe never all in their boxes.

I mostly wear caterpillar boots, currently got 3 pairs on the go. I keep the boxes to store stuff in.

I don't actually own a pair of trainers.

Throw out the box for a pair of Bottega Venetas?! No way.

I find it hard to throw out nice packaging.

you've obviously got far too many female chromosomes if you own more than 3 pairs of footwear.

1 for work
1 for smart out
1 for scruffy out

or some variation of the above.

I've a nice pair of shoes for work/smart
then a pair of trainers for day to day and a nice pair of boots for walking/etc

What about curry shoes? When you can't be arsed to even pick up the phone to get food delivered, they fuck off by themselves and get the food for you. Essential.

most recent purchase: pair of uber warm Sorel boots. I need a pair of casual trainers like Adidas or something, as my old ones are fucked. Also have a pair of fubar old rough terrain running shoes that I got in Norway that I also should bin. Other than that, two pairs of "neat" brown leather shoes that I pretend dress me well.

I rotate through three pairs of running shoes. One for running, when they get too worn out for running, they become everyday at work, when they start to fall apart I wear them for painting and sailing at work. When a new pair of running shoes is bought the oldest pair go in the skip.

I also have steel boots for when work demands, and outside work in the winter.

I have a pair of black shiny shoes which work for work meetings, weddings and funerals.

I do have a pair of cycling shoes too.

No. I don't keep any of the boxes.
