How long do you go before you replace shoes?

I finally got rid of a pair of trainers (sneakers) that i got in 2007 and have worn 90% of the time when i leave the house, and we only bought new ones because Wolfz felt that it might just be time to replace them. It takes so long to get them to that "worn in, super comfortable" phase that once they get there im reluctant to get rid of them!
My new ones are super cute, though, i must admit!

I'm still wearing the boots I bought in 1981. Replaced the soles a dozen times or so, but they still look and feel great.

My current pair is all stretched to hell, only one of them has a lace and the bottom is cracked on both so they pump water when I walk in the rain/slush. Got them in 2005 or 2006.
my new ones (2 years old) aren't comfy.

my favorites (keen) are wearing out, soles have a few holes (not yet all the way through) maybe buy a new pair in a few months. Despite the stereotype I am not a huge shoe buyer...

No, im not either. As a rule i have one pair of trainers, one pair of "nice" trainers (for going out when you dont quite require proper shoes, but also shouldnt wear your ratty old trainers), one pair of nice flats, one pair of nice heels, snow boots and regular boots. That is more than enough, as far as im concerned.

Work shoes about once every 5-6 months.
Regular shoes...depends I have some that are 10+ years old and fine, a pair I just bought a year ago. Though I basically have 3 pairs of every-day shoes and one pair for work.

i replace shoes once the current pair cease to serve their primary function
dress shoes get replaced when they aren't suitable for a formal environment
running shoes get replaced when they break down
casual shoes get replaced when they get too dirty
sandals/flipflops get replaced when they start to smell bad

When they start looking ratty I will take them off the everyday wear list, but generally keep them until they fall apart to do dirty work or hiking or whatever.

Depends on the shoes but, the only ones that get replaced on a fairly strict schedule are my running shoes. Those go in 300-350 miles (8-10 weeks).
Other shoes go when they are worn out, or not presentable for their intended purpose, like dress shoes.

what is this "replace" you speak of?
I buy new shoes whenever I fancy I need a pair for something, then I'll go buy 2-3 pair while I'm there.

I wear shoes until they are totally broken in and comfy. Then I wear them another few years until my feet are threatening to touch the pavement. Then I buy new shoes. I only have 1 pair of shoes at a time because I am not shoe person.
