Sneaker Storage Question
In my attempt to find my discontinued shoes I went to the internet and found a store selling my discontinued pair, in only my size, for $46. Score!!! This is very exciting. How many pairs can I buy? I heard sneakers only last so long before they lose their spring. I bought 2 pairs. Can I buy more? Or by the time I get to a third pair(maybe 6 months) will they lose what makes them good? Anyone else a stockpiler and know?
Thanks!

I believe I have heard they shouldn't sit around for over a year. I usually buy two pairs at a time but I would buy three if I found a deal like that!

I heard the same as Barb. Put them in a plastic bag in the basement and don't leave them in the attic or someplace where they will get hot. You should be ok. I have one pair "on ice" right now! :)

Oh my - I had no idea sneakers expired! I stockpile them all the time - like buy 4 pairs at a time. You don't think they just sit around in a warehouse somewhere?
