Buying two of the same thing

I bought some Skechers the other day - my first pair, but everyone seems to rave about them.
I haven't worn them outside the house yet, they do seem to be very clumpy.

I have never done this but my friend does. She was introduced to Skechers and has at least 4 pairs in different colours.
I will admit to not liking the look of them at all.
She also buys t-shirts and tops in multiples .

Yes definitely do this! I buy 2 or more of a dress if I find one I like. And shoes, especially sandals. I have horrid bunions so if I find a pair that are comfy I buy several pairs the same.

Yes I do this a lot. I once bought 4 pairs of identical slippers because they were so comfortable and withstood the odd impulse to garden in them.

I found a blissfully comfortable pair of walking shoes and bought a second identical pair. I wear them almost every day.

I like remarkably little of what passes for “fashion”these days and find myself tempted to buy TWO of something I really like, which is really comfortable or flattering, (sometimes in a different colour, but not necessarily) so that when it wears out or gets too scruffy, I shall have a “spare” .
Does anybody else do this?
