New Shoes...

How do you blokes with loads of pairs of shoes stay married, or are you all single? What is the pay off? My wife takes the hump if I buy new shoes even if I can show wet socks as a sign the old ones have failed. Having two pairs would be seen as financially reckless, 8 would be off the scale.

Chat to Homer. Knocking on for 30 pairs in all possible colour combos 😉😂

I'd like to have about 6 pairs. Mainly because I like to cordite y kit and 6 pairs would give me enough options... Will have 3 pairs when I get my new ones this year so halfway there...

Tyrion everything for the house cones out of the joint account that we both pay into. If we need to save for something we do it together. Whatever money I have left every month I can do with what I want. I rarely go out so save what I can and spend it on the best hobby in the universe :)

Surely just point out her shoe collection!

Every time the missus has a go about me buying a new club, shoes, bag etc etc I remind her how much her shoes, hair, clothes etc etc costs each month. It's the only argument she lets go easily! My favourite line is 'this wedge cost me a £100 and will last me 2 years, your hair costs £100 and lasts you a month!'
 
I have about 6 pairs

FootJoy M-Project
FootJoy DryJoy Tour
FootJoy Contours
Adidas Adizero (Utter Crap)
Ecco Street
Ecco Tour Hybrid

Rotate them as I see fit and use my spikeless for the range.
