Old shoes are easy, old friends are best American British proverb
to be familiar with sb/sth; feel comfortable and relaxed; easy to talk/to work with
Everytime I come to this coffee shop, I always feel as comfortable as an old shoe.
I like using old stuffs until they are broken because they are full of memories like people used to say: “Old shoes are easy, old friends are best.”
Old friends are best. King James used to call for his old shoes; they were the easiest for his feet. (John Selden)
Something easy or pleasant to do, especially by comparison to something
someone believe that they are allowed to do whatever they want in their own home
Especially easy
Used to indicate that something is easy to achieve, it is also easy to lose
To be extremely simple, basic, or intuitive without much skill or effort.
The simile “as easy as an old shoe” was first recorded in J.T. Brockett’s North Country Glossary in 1852. It was used to talk about friends as in the proverb Old shoes are easy, old friends are best, but today it is used more broadly for easy familiarity in any situation.
