What I actually do is whenever I buy shoes/boots I tend to buy two pairs. One I wear till they wear out the other I just break in and then leave ready for an emergency. Right now I have 3 spare pairs of work boots that are broken in and ready for if everything hits the fan and I need to live for a while without being able to buy shoes/boots and I have about 3 pairs of hiking boots ready for bugging out as well as several pairs of sneakers. At this point I don't need to keep buying two pairs. It's come to the point that I can buy just one pair, break them in and then wear an older pair to keep them rotated. It costs a bit more up front for a while but then later on you've got some shoes/boots stocked up and you can go back to just buying one pair. Short term loss long term gain! Just don't do this for those kids, if they are like me as a kid they grow like weeds and this idea fails miserably. I’d suggest you buy two pairs.

The best boot I have ever bought and still own is the "Rocky" boot-line. They are more expensive, but well worth the investment. I have a new pair that I wear occasionally. But I still use, for the most part, the first pair I bought 12 yrs. ago, because they are still in pretty good shape. I am amazed at the quaility and durability of this boot! Trust me, I have put the "Rocky" boot to the test. I know I should have probably posted this right after this article came out, but better late than never, huh?
