Besides, my wife got me a $1600 pair of boots (that I really wanted). Do those count? And I've never seen 5 seconds of Sex and the City. Thank God.


I'd say it depends...

Are they highly fashionable and of a quality that means they'll be worn out in a couple of
months of use and make a cobbler mutter something about "unrepairable garbage"
in the unlikely chance of you trying to get them repaired (as you could still stomach the
thought of being spotted wearing them though they're no longer "in")?

Or are they something that, given a little care, can be repaired over and over and be with
you the rest of your life- and then inherited by your grandkids?
