If You Had to Choose Only Five Shoes or Boots, For The Rest of Your Life…What Would They Be??

If you were forced to choose only five pairs of boots and shoes for the rest of our life, and had to give away everything else...what would those five be?

Because we are masochists, Ticho and I decided to subject ourselves to this horrific—but enlightening!—thought experiment on the most recent Shoecast episode. It was NOT easy. We lost sleep. And we were both sickened by how similarly we thought about building a tight collection. But we did it.

And if you feel like driving yourself insane, In strongly recommend you try it too. If you're on Instagram, post them and tag #myonlyfivepairs, @tichoblancoshoes, and @stitchdown— we'll be reposting plenty.
