I usually get 3-4 every year. Each of them last me like 3 months. Also what brands do you wear? I like Nike, Vans, Lakai, and Adidas.

About 4. I usually wear Asics because they're comfortable and I get them discounted through my school's track/cross country program.

It depends if my pair of shoes are still in good shape zero, but if I need new shoes I'll buy one pair.

I dont buy shoes unless i need them. the last pair i bought was in sept. because i needed another pair that were not green. Before that, the last pair i bought was 3 years ago. They are still in great shape. I own 2 pair now + plus work boots for work.

I've gotten about 10 pairs in the past 3 months, and there's no end in sight for that. They'll probably just keep coming the warmer it gets outside, I'm really starting to enjoy shoes.

One pair every 5-6 years. No specific brand. Just has to be the right size and comfortable. Tend to like black ones.

I've had the same pair of shoes for about 4 years now, and I'm about due for a new pair.

I buy 2 pair of shoes a year, though I really only need one new pair a year.

I usually buy Van slip ons or Converse.

I just bought three pairs this month. It goes by a need-to-want basis. I don't have a particular favorite brand, just whatever I like.

Maybe one pair every year and a half or more. Like Red said in the Shawshank Redemption, "I mean, seriously, how often do you really look at a man's shoes?".

A couple. Most of the shoes I get are pretty durable. I get Nikes or Asics for running, but I just run in them, so they last a while. I get boots mostly from Altama for work, which last a while when cared for properly. I like Mezlans for dressing up, which also last a while when cared for properly.

Same. I'd say it's been about 4-5 years since I got a pair of shoes.

One pair of Nike shoes a year unless my dress shoes or basketball shoes need to be replaced. I don't see a point in constantly buying new ones when I can use one pair for over a year.

One, sometimes none at all because the shoes from the previous year are still in good shape.

Maybe a pair a year, and only if my daily shoes are just worn out or I need shoes for some kind of special function. I'm really picky about shoes (what shoes a person wears says a lot about them) but I don't go through them quickly enough to motivate me to collect them.

1-2 and that's because I'm poor. If I had the money, I'd get 3-4.

For casual shoes that I wear when I out, about two pairs a year. For cross country and track however, whenever I need new spikes/flats/trainers. Right now I'm using Nike Victory XC as my spikes and Saucony Progrid Kinvara as my flats.
