You ever reach into your closet, pull out a pair of last year's sandals, put them on, and have blisters on both sides of both feet by noon? Yeah. That's my day. That's two pairs of last year's sandals that have injured me (the first, a really expensive pair of Dr. Scholl's, had a piece of fishing-line stitching that cut open the top of my big toe at the base of the toenail).
So I have a scruffy pair that are not fit for work, and a reasonably good pair which, it appears, I can't buy again (last year's shoe remember? argh). So now I have to buy new sandals because I can't wear the same ones every day, they are leather and will get stinky in a hurry if they don't get aired out between wearings. Argh and argh and argh again.
Maybe I should invest in a good pair of Birkenstocks - do they last more than a year? *sigh* I hate shoes. But I love socks!

haha I hear ya, I always hated shopping for shoes too. It was near impossible when I was a kid because I have large feet, and could never buy that beautiful pair I liked because that one was too narrow (of course) :D
But I love socks lol (even if they are pilling up in my queue more than on my needles lol I'll blame the baby knitting :P)
I bought my first pair of birkies when I was nineteen. i wore them summer-in-and-summer-out for the last several years, although i couldn't wear them to work.
this year, i'm thinking i'll finally replace them. the leather uppers are still in good shape, so i could just have the sole recorked, but I want a new style.
Yeah, they last awhile. and I'm hard on my shoes; most pairs don't last for more than a season.
I'm usually able to make a pair of Birks last at least 2 seasons.
