Shoes
Sis is hard on her work shoes, incredibly so. She wore out a pair of Doc Marten's in six months (the sort with the year guarantee) just by wearing them at work doing the normal things she does.
I had my mother send me my toughest pair of hiking boots, inherited from a former college roommate who didn't want them anymore (one eyelet was broken off) and Sis managed to demolish them in a scant four months. They've got duct tape soles now, and I looked at that and I said, "Nope, you're not wearing those."
She's got my black steel toed sneakers to beat the hell out of now, the shoes I got for work in the bakery when my old blue and white sneakers got thrashed. I love those shoes, and they saved my toes more than once, countless times, when I was a cashier -- shoppers at Sam's Club, running their carts right into my toes -- thank the gods for steel toed sneakers.
Sis expects to beat the hell out of them in a week, just like she expected to beat the hell out of the hiking boots in a week -- I expect they'll last just long enough for us to save up money for a decent pair of shoes for her.
