I get to wear long sleeved t-shirts and jeans to work, but since they are technically safety equipment (arc flash rated), work has to pay for them. As the only female, they don't bother to hire a laundry service that carries true women's clothing (the shirts are for petite women-- If I lift up my arms, you can see my bra, and they call the jeans "unisex" to get around having to carry women's jeans). So, I have to order my own and launder them myself, but I make work pay for the detergent, and use the work washer and dryer.
I realize that doesn't really help though...
What may help: If you normally wear the same shoes every day, get a second pair and alternate days. My job can involve a lot of wear and tear on shoes/boots, but having two pairs gives them time to "air out" and I find that the insides wear out much more slowly. One pair of shoes will start falling apart around 9 months. Two pair I can keep going for over 2 years. I've had boots that lasted longer, but at this point, I go for comfort, and the ones I wear now are much more comfortable. (Work also pays for a pair once a year, so I'm not trying to get years out of a pair of boots at this point).
