I was looking at my shoes and realized that I really struggle with finding shoes that I like. I am very particular about my shoes and will spend a good amount researching them and won't necessarily be shy about spending more than I should, but a lot of times I end up not liking them as much as I should. The problem will be that I end up wearing them one time before I discover that. A few examples - A few years ago, I bought some army-ish looking boots for ~$250. Wore them one time and decided they were too army-ish for my tastes (side note - bought some rather expensive Magnanni boots two years ago and leave them). I bought some Tom's sneakers a few months ago, wanting something a little more casual but still sneakers. Questioned them when I got them, but ended up wearing them out regardless. They were ~$100 and will probably be my new yard work shoes... I bought some Oliver Cabell trainers from Huckberry a few months ago (even after starting a thread asking about them or similar) for about $240. They are a good, quality shoe, but I've been struggling a bit trying to determine what to wear them with. I'm hoping that they will be more conducive to warmer weather. I'm hopeful on that because them seem to be more a light weight slim pant and t-shirt shoe. Not a "f it's cold... I need to weather a heavy coat" shoes. Last example - when the monk strap dress shoes first started coming back, I bought a pair of Cole Haans. This was probably 8 years ago I bet. I honestly don't think I've worn them. At the same time I bought those, I bought the same color (british tan) of Cole Haan plain toe dress shoes. I still have those and wear them all of the time when I need that type of shoe.
I'm not sure why I have a such a shoe problem. I wonder if it could be due to shoes being very dependent upon the rest of the clothes that you are wearing, so it sometimes can take a bit to figure out if you really like them or not. Or maybe I just have a problem with shoes...
Anyone else have trouble with various clothing items?
