Jetti - I say that all the time - all I need is a good pair of sneakers and a pair of decent casual shoes and a pair of hiking boots and I am good to go.

Let me rephrase that:

"Every night Honey. I never have a headache."

Gail, you probably say you want to back pack up a mountian too. yes? :)

Fruit - no way! Backpacking is not my style. It's just that I wore combat boots for so many years that nothing else really feels comfortable.

If you see me wearing heels, it either means someone died or someone is getting married. By not wearing heels, that eliminates about 95% of shoes out there anyways. :)

Men for some reason have foot fetishes. I am sure that if us woman stuck together, we could convince men that sneakers and workboots are sexy. But unfortunetely, women will not stick together.

This is coming from a woman that works in an office all day but has to run back and forth a half mile to the president's office in heels and has to climb 3 floors worth of stairs. Shoes with heels were not made to be walked in, continually, for distances longer than 20 feet.

And I am not even getting into the slipping on tile part either.

Shoes with heels are designed to complress women's calf muscles to make them look sexier. I see women walking in heels and I can't even imagine the pain it must be. Plus, it seems like you are constantly having to balance yourself. It always seems like women walking in heels have wobbly ankles.

I have to say I love fancy shoes. I actually can walk in them just fine. I don't have much occasion to wear them, however. But you would never know that from the number I own. :)

Fruit I'm with you. On a one week trip to the Caribbean one year I took 12 pairs of shoes. I probably only wore 4 or 5 of them but I wanted to be sure I had lots of choice.

But when your nicely endowed, your center of gravity is off kilter in high heels.

Hahahaha! This is turning into the shoe thread. I had to put a moratorium on shoes about seven years ago. I declared that if I got a new pair of shoes, an old pair had to go. That pretty much dried up the shoe influx. As well as cleaned out the old ones.

I usually don't have more than about 20 pair. They go out of style and I keep them moving on through. 20 may be a conservative number. I just asked my husband if he thought I had 20 pairs. He said if you don't count boots, sandals, sneakers, loafers and dress shoes. Comedian, that one.

We just had a discussion about storage in this trailer. It started with shoes. He has decided that we are going to divide the space alloted for clothes evenly and I can bring as many as I wish. Just means less space for other items. Silly boy. He is so sweet, he thinks I bought that rap.

Oh, my, Bat....only 20 pair! That's just a start at my house! I bought a 24 pair shoe rack thinking that it would hold them all, and then had to get 2 12s....as well as use three shelves and a pile on the closet floor.

Let's see that makes me the owner of at least 60 pair (not counting ballet shoes, tap shoes, ice skates, snow boots, and organ shoes). <schoolmarm blushes with embarrassment>
And prior to knee surgery, I could chase kids on playground duty and run through the rain. Haven't tried that yet, though.

Back to the thread.
"Oh, I think that 2 pair of shoes is enough"
OR
"Honey, I do you REALLY think that I need a new pair of shoes? I think these loafers will go with my fancy dress just fine."

From Schoolmarm, the shoe queen!

I stand in awe. I do have a pair of tap shoes that I did not count so that puts me at 32, not counting flip flops of which I own about 6 pairs. Didn't count utility shoes either, snow shoes, garden clogs etc. (yes Wink, I do own a pair of gardening shoes)

Organ shoes? You didn't think you could get away with that, did you? I assume they are not for transplants so I'm going with.......you need special shoes to play an organ. Soft soles are part of the trip, yes?

Fruitbat, glad you were just joking about dividing the trailer closet space evenly. You really had me worried there.

Okay, back to the thread, "Look at the headlights on that one!"

Yuppers, Bat!

"Be with you in a jiffy, honey....just as soon as I change the flat on the car. No, I can manage!"

Lance....I say "I was wrong; I'm sorry" all the time!!!

And I bet that some of you women say my quote above!

Marm, I do too--and that same thing is on the "what you won't hear a man say" thread. LOL

Wink, yes you did just say it--although I'm not sure what you were wrong about.
