top reasons to keep your old shoes hanging around
1) new shoes look great! but realise that if you wear them for any amount of time, they'll probably start to feel exactly like the old shoes... only slightly worse, because you thought they were better.
2) people only have one pair of feet, which means they should only wear one pair of shoes. if you want to compare against new shoes, sprout another pair of feet first.
3) if you get your old shoes muddy, you can always wash it and it'll be as good as new
4) you already know all the little quirks of old shoes
5) there's something really disturbing about comparing unfavourably with new shoes while the old ones are perfectly serviceable. and if you keep buying new shoes, you'll eventually have too many shoes.
6) i love my old shoes.. they're irritating in all the right places :P
of course, if the shoe really doesn't fit, then by all means go out and buy a new one!
(hang on. im all too aware that 'old shoes' means something rather nasty in cantonese, but let's not wander too far, ok?? for the sake of political correctness, i've contemplated changing 'shoes' to 'slippers'... but nah. just pointing out that sometimes things don't mean anything, really.)
