I’ve had 5 pairs of the same shoes over 5 years. Apparently nobody else likes them and the same store still had old stock years later discounted to €25 from €100. Cleared them out for the last 3 pairs they had which i now keep as backup.
Comment on Why is it so hard to buy the same toothbrush twice?

I have about the same luck with shoes. Once I finally find the perfect fitting shoes and wear them out, I’m lucky if I can find the same shoes new even once again… ☹️

This is exactly what I thought of first.

I fully expected someone to chime in with some variant of “you should make your own shoes anyway, it’s trivial with a dead badger and a bottle cork and two pieces of string… kids these day don’t know anything no more!”.

The kids these days don’t even know the name or the village cobbler

buy 3 or 4 more pairs as soon as you realize the fit perfectly.

At today’s prices, I have to buy shoes by the toe. It takes 10 months just for the toes, and that’s not including the heels, soles, socks, and tariffs and shit…
