I love shoes. All shoes. I'll have to take a pic of the bottom of my closet that has shoe boxes and those clear plastic boxes and a shoe rack and still other shoes scattered on the floor of the closet and shoes I keep outside of the closet cuz those are the ones I wear frequently. I wear a size 4 and if my foot was 2 sizes bigger I'd have to have a closet just for shoes. I don't wear any heel higher than 3 inches unless it's a pair of boots.

I have one pair of summer sandals (3 yrs old), one pair each of beige and black pumps (bought together 'bout 5/6 yrs ago), one pair of walking/hiking shoes and two pairs of runners (one pr stays on my treadmill and never leaves the house - they are about 3 yrs old, other pair is 2 yrs old). I use the walking shoes 90% of the time so they get replaced every year to two years. I have been shopping for a new pair for about 4 months now. I HATE shoe shopping, they have to be PERFECT and because I spend so much time shopping for the perfect pair... I keep them forever even when ready for the trash. I dread starting the process over again. I have not even owned a pair of winter boots in at least a decade although I am in Canada. People who love shoes and buys loads of them confuse me. RFLOL Not good or bad, just totally befuddled. (PS I do own about 35 jackets/coats though )

Aren't shoes just something you have to wear when you leave the house? And then only if you're going somewhere else, not if you're just meandering about the yard, and counting the dandelions and throwing the tennis ball for the dogs. EXACTLY!

well, i never wear shoes inside. i am barefoot most of the time except for the few weeks of winter we have BUT that has absolutely nothing to do with my magnificant obsession with shoes! LOL have you noticed that one is ever middle the road about shoes? you are either a 'i only have two pairs of shoes and that's all i need' type of person or you are a 'of course these black shoes are all different' type person! LOL

I think what confuses me about a shoe obsession is that it's usually dressy/heels. Why be obsessed with something that you can't walk in for more than five minutes at a time and HURTS!!!! LOL

Well, to be honest, I go to, host, etc. a lot of dressy events. So that's why. And eta -- most of my dressy shoes are also comfortable. I walk everywhere I go -- even when dressed up I'll walk 20 or more minutes through the city to go to dinner. Hence my love for some of Aerosole's styles. And the burgundy d'orsay pumps I posted a page back are Anne Klein -- and I could walk miles in them. And also as I said, my feet are most often in a pair of Chuck Taylors (I have 5 pair of Chucks, and I am wearing my black/red/yellow flame pair right now!) Oh and eta once more -- my feet have gotten WORSE since I started working from home and haven't worn dressy shoes as often. My arches have fallen a bit and my feet have widened. I now make a point of wearing shoes in the house (much to my neat freak husband's chagrin), just to make sure my feet don't become any more horribly wide and humongous!

I don't buy those kinds of shoes (well, not many ) I also dress up, but mainly cause I have always worn heels. I am 5' and my hubby is 18" taller than me! LOL but, I have a hellava casual shoe collection too!

I only have about 20 pairs of shoes mainly because I don't have a lot of room, and I now have a policy that something has to go if I get a new pair. It stops buying new ones. Except for the pair Yankee made me buy yesterday. But with any luck, even with as cute at they are, they might turn out to be too wide and might have to go back. I will have to figure out what to get rid of if they stay.

I feel guilty about all the shoes I have, but yet I buy more. I have 2 pair of knee high boots that I love but don't get to wear often. I just bought the same black sketchers that Escapee has plus the white pair her sissy bought,lol. I'll wear them all summer. I guess if I counted, I have about 40 pairs of shoes of all kinds. Every year I go thru them and donate to Goodwill or Salvation Army or Fish. My mom only had 1 pair of shoes most of her life because she preferred barefeet, but when she came to live with me, I was always trying to buy her a pair of shoes.

Omygosh! I probably have 100 pairs of shoes. Flip flops. Sandals. Dressy sandals. Peep toes. Mary Janes. Pumps. CFM pumps. Boots. Hiking boots. Clunky heels. Stiletto heels. Flats. Ballerina flats. Tennis shoes. Walking shoes. And what am I wearing right now? Nothing but BARE FEET! (Of course, I am home, working in my office, so... Hehehe!) And my hair is NOT quite wash 'n go (gotta tame those curls). And you would not see me alive without makeup! Or a manicure. Or a pedicure. (My pedi guy thinks I ought to be a foot model!)

I think my co-worker has you beat Costa, she has at least 100 pair of flip flops alone! Now I ask, why would you ever need that many flip flops? Just in the last 3 weeks, she has bought 4 pair of sketchers! and that doesn't count the 3 pairs of sandals(not flip-flops).

My old job required dressy work shoes. My new place lets me wear sneakers. I saw a co-worker with flip flops the other day. I'm not going to do that..LOL

I think I've got a couple dozen flip flops alone -- and yeah, I bought an extra pair of my pink sparkly and my teal sparkly ones cause I love 'em!). And... Hey! My flip flops are dressy! Sparkly, color coordinated, dressy flip flops! Nice pedicured toes and dressy fliop flops work for me!

I wish I could wear flip flops - meaning the ones with the thingy between the toes. But my 2nd toe kinda rounds over to the 3rd toe so when I try to wear flip flops it rubs more than a normal toe. It's a family trait on my Mom's side. If I could wear flip flops I'd probably have 5 pair of shoes total, if not alot more.

Texannie, I might could go barefoot in the summer if I were any place warm, but it is still pretty cool up here in the summer. It drives me batty to see these kids around here going to school in flipflops when it is raining and 44 degrees.
