> Replacing broken or worn items often feels like a nightmare of upheaval and system change
It seems like if this is where someone's application of minimalism lands them, they have missed the point.
On that note I went from owning one pair of shoes last year to three. It was a great non-minimalist decision. My shoes now take three times longer to wear out, and now I'm always wearing shoes that are more useful or more fashionable for the situation (or both) than what I used to wear.
