How long do your 'good' trainers stay 'good'?

I got some nice new LaCoste classic trainers for Christmas last year and they promptly became my 'good' trainers. Problem is, they still are despite looking like a skint student's footwear :/ My backup pairs are a battered pair of Nike Classics and a yellow pair of Levis trainers :o

Saying that I hate having bright white trainers.

So basically a discussion about how often you buy trainers, how many pairs you have and what style you wear

Surely trainers that look a bit worn are better than bright white trainers?

Im a bit of a trainer freak tbh, kind of collect them.

I reckon I have 30+ pairs, some trainers I have more that 1 pair of and some pairs I have only wore once, maybe twice.

They never really get spoilt either because on nights out when im drinking I just wear £5 white pumps which look pretty cool and Im not bothered about getting them mucky.

I have a rather natty pair of gold and green adidas "sneakers" that I bought from eBay for £20 three years ago. They are still pretty much the only trainers I wear. Back-ups are an eight year old pair of Marty McFly style Nike ones.

they are, but these are meant to be my good trainers and it's quite hard to tell what colour they originally were!! They've been washed recently, but due to severe scuffing they're not actually very white anymore!
