I’ve never been much of a fashion type of guy. To me, it’s just “put whatever on.” The only time I have to care how I look is when mom is around. She expects that I will wear nice clothes especially when we go out together or when she is due to see me on any given day. I’m a big fan of pajamas though as I find that they are more comfortable than heavy clothes. Therefore, I’ve never really cared much about my shoes though I do have a history of ruining the bottom of my shoes through excessive walking on pavement and dragging my feet, ETC. Summers that occurred prior to me living alone resulted in me needing to buy new pairs of shoes every other week as I would walk with my walker to various places around where we lived in Rockland at the time. I would say that one pair of shoes lasted me about two weeks or maybe less if I walked long distances. These days, I rarely have that problem as my walker is broke and I’m waiting to get a new one. For the time being, I rarely walk when I’m outside and use my wheelchair to get around. However, I cannot say that I’ve ever really had a preferred favourite pair of shoes. If I had to choose, it would be the ones that weren’t ruined as easily, the ones that used to last me longer than the ones that didn’t. Other than saying this much, I really don’t have an opinion on this particular question.
