We had my grandma's wedding shoes (1917)

I have an old pair of Bass Weejuns that my mother wore while she was in college and I wore in high school. They still fit me!! They've been re-soled a few times but I still wear them. I have one pair of black suede kitten heels that are just a smidge too small, but they were when I bought them. They were too cute to pass up, and I only had to wear them once.

no I don't have any shoes left like that. I got rid of almost all of my old shoes. i was starting to feel like a hoarder. In fact I don't think I have many heels left at all either. I walked so much when I worked that I hardly ever wore heels and now can't stand to wear them.

no=I hate buying shoes-I wear them until they wear out =buy a new pair and toss the old ones.

Cowboy boots from the Calgary Stampede.
I wore them for 20+ years. They're still perfect. But my knees bother me now with any suggestion of a heel.

I still have my saddle shoes from high school, which was only 41 years ago! My wedding shoes from 40 years ago and a pair of red, white and blue suede with cork soles from college that would be 40 years also. OMG!!!!

I still have my wedding shoes, we've been married 32 years now. They are too small by half a size, but I couldn't bear to think of getting rid of them!

I still have a pair of soft house slippers that my mom gave me for Christmas 1989. It was the last Christmas that I had with her. She passed away Mother's Day weekend in 1990. Shoes are still in good shape, though!

You could repurpose them by making them into bookends or a pincushion. Use your imagination. They can still be out and used. And you can enjoy once again something you so dearly loved.

nah.. between daughters and grand daughters my shoes are pretty well down to what I wear daily and during the summer months. 1 pair of good tennis shoes (leather) and one pair of sloppy tennis shoes for the work outside around the yard etc..and a pair of sandals..wait I almost forgot my tazmanian bedroom slippers !
