I think I have four, but they're all the same model of New Balance
running shoes.  The newest I wear every day, the second-newest are
for ordinary lawn-mowing, garden weeding, etc.  The other two are
at the back of my closet in case I think I might get into something
really mucky.  They're disposable.

One new pair every November (for winter traction); discard the
oldest pair.
