My son Luke is a sensory seeker. That means that most sensations he LOVES and will seek out eagerly - often to a much larger degree than others. He loves dirty play, bear hugs, and anything that provides extra sensation. He's usually the kid you see going a bit too far.
He is also rough on clothes and shoes. Jeans usually have worn knees, shirts have stains and stretched necks. Shoes look worn after a short period of time. Here is an example of his last pair of shoes, that we just replaced. They were already getting worn out, but he finished them off yesterday while at school. There were plenty of puddles for him to play in. His shoes were soaked, socks soaked, and this shoe was flapping in the wind. And he loved it. Instead of complaining that his shoe was broken, he made a game out of it, flipping the toe part of the sole back under his foot as he walked, actually making it worse!!!
