Just wondering. I rarely have 2 pairs of New shoes at the same time, i usually buy a new one when my current new shoes starting to show some wear especially on the soles, and i only buy during sales, so i might buy a new one as backup.
I would start wearing the new shoes, and only during bad weather or when i felt the shoe needs some rest, or drying after i wash them, i start wearing older shoes, and i usually rotate them after 2-3 days.
Problem is i don't have more than 1 pair of the same models, so even though i was used to those old shoes it takes time to get reused to them, mainly due to difference in bottom height, weight & also low vs high cuts, the 1st day of switching from thick soles to thin usually result in quickness but going from thin to thick takes more time to get used to, and going from thin/low to thick/high tops usually require me to change my playstyle from speed play to stable hops & jump shots.
So I'm wondering how folks get used to their shoes by constantly rotating 10 pairs of shoes. I know NBA players change shoes everyday & have maybe 100 models in their rotation.
Because I know different models feels differently. Do shoes really need "rest"? Will the cushion regenerate itself if you let it rest for a while and will they last longer?
