In Reply to: RE: Got into shoes a little bit lately - interesting parallels between two addictions. posted by carcass93 on June 30, 2015 at 09:34:57
Although why you would want to collect shoes is beyond me. I have maybe 10-12 pairs and a couple are expensive (>$500, Swiss and Italian made) but the rest are not and purely utilitarian and didn't cost more than $200. I also don't really collect hifi for that matter, usually selling something off before getting something new...although that has slipped a bit in a slow market.
Follow Ups:
While there certainly is this "collector" and/or "hunting" element, I still haven't gotten over the 10 newly acquired pairs - which makes it probably 16, together with mediocre stuff I had before.
As I said, it'll hopefully pass sooner rather than later - but it surely is fun.
HiFi for me is somewhat different matter, since there, everything that's done has a purpose - better sound quality. With shoes, there's an aspect of just owning some good-looking, finely-crafted object - aspect missing when it comes to HiFi.
I don't know I have some very finely crafted hifi...
