I wore the same pair of shoes until I had holes littering them and my feet got soaked by stepping in the smallest puddle. I own 4 pairs if shoes: dress shoes, every day shoes, soccer cleats, and boots.
Girls are too materialistic while guys understand value. Girls go through hundreds of pairs of shoes while guys do whatever they can to preserve the one pair that they have.
And I swear I would buy him $200 shoes.
