I got a pair of shoes in the 8th grade and I still have them(I'm fixing to be a Senior). They are black and white converse with red and black checkers on the front. I love them so much, and they are so worn out(the backs of them have no support at all). I don't think I'll ever give them up. :D

I have a pair from my sophomore year in High School which was 1997/98 (Someone do the math for me), and they were purchased at a vintage store. Soo they are really old, but I love them.

2 years. They were white and blue adidas sneakers.

Almost 26 years now - and I have no intention of ever throwing them away. I have a pair of leather hiking boots that I bought in 1981 that I still wear to do yard work once and a while.

Years..they have to actually fall apart before I throw them out, if they are comfortable.

I still wear the sneakers I bought three years ago. I have new ones, but these are SOOOO comfortable and still look half way decent.

I have a pair of handmade ostrich boots that are at least 8 years old and still look like new. I have had them re- soled a couple of times and they are butter soft from wearing them. I would'nt take any amount of money for them. They are so comfortable !!

Twenty years, some pink strap high-heel sandals, and is that ever silly! They were beautiful, but they hurt every time I put them on.

Work boots for snowy weather are 20 years old and counting. A good coating of mink oil wax keeps them waterproof. When only worn once or twice a year, they last a looonnnggg time.

11 years, no joke. I've had them since I was 12 and I'm now 23. I only stopped wearing them regularly last year, I still wear them occasionally now though because I love them and don't want them to feel neglected. I could never throw them away.

I don't have them anymore, but I had a pair of Vans, bought for my 12th birthday, double tongue, sold in the early 90's. I had them until I was 19. The most comfortable pair of shoes I have EVER owned. They had holes, the suede was matted down, but they just never stopped being comfortable. I wish they still made them, I would buy them to this day.

I have a pair still in my closet from 1999.
