What can I do with my Kenneth Coles and Bostonians?

[Bruce9241]

I currently have 10 pairs of shoes in my collection. Most are Ferragamos, one pair of Mezlan and two pairs of Bostonian and 1 pair of Kenneth Coles.

I absolutely hate the Bostonians and Kenneth Coles. They are so ugly and uncomfortable. I checked ebay and it doesn't look like people buy these two brands. The new Bostonians on ebay are going for around $30.....

What can I do with these shoes? I don't really wanna throw them away since I paid about $70 each for the Bostonians and only wore them about five times each. The Kenneth Coles are about three years old and are still in good shape (but look ugly as hell with its square toes).

Any suggestions?

Donate to charity.

Beater shoes. I sometimes wear a pair of vintage johnston & murphy when walking dogs or just bumming around the yard. Keep in mind, for a lot of people, KC, Bostonian, and etc are 'fancy shoes', so it's somewhat appealing to bounce around in these labels not really giving a ****. If you really just do not like them, donate them to goodwill/charity.

I donate my sartorial missteps of days gone by to local thrift stores once have replaced them with something better, if I don't need them for beater shoes, etc.

Use them as your inclement weather shoes (for rain and snow).

That is the best use for these shoes. Assuming that they are suitable in appearance, wear them on days when it is raining cats and dogs and you just know you are going to step in a poodle.

Ditto on Salvation Army, you can mark them up when you write them off

If you do up good auctions, you could get something out of them on ebay.

Give them to your enemies.

that sounds great. What does a good auction consist of?

I really do not just want to throw these shoes away because they were purchased very recently and are still considered new.

Its weird because even when its raining outside, I still do not feel comfortable wearing these ugly shoes. I know, Im a sick person. But aren't we all?

Wear them in good health!

Give them to a homeless person.
