      That’s probably too much. Even though it’s roughly what I’m paying now. While the subscription commitment would encourage me to make sure I was running to get value for it, the risk of not owning my shoes and the service being timely with replacements wouldn’t offset the stability I have now of just owning my shoes.

      In short, I can’t see who this would be better for.

        They have a sustainability angle, which I guess is what would drive most to subscribe. The company would probably argue they need a subscription model to ensure people return the shoes regularly so they can recycle them, but it would be good if they could find a way to do this without removing the consumer’s right to ownership.
