Shoes!!

mrsfeather - did I read right ? 60 pairs ? 😳

Oh dear, I bought two new pairs today…

I’ve got boxes full of shoes. Having mutant feet ( bunion and corn) I often used to have to change the style of shoes that I was wearing. And if I found something that was comfortable would buy several pairs. In recent years, now retired, I’ve lived in trainers, Crocs and Ugg boots. However, just as I was about to take some shoes to a charity shop I started wearing jeans again which means that I’m not tied down to wearing shoes that go with my usual leggings. So my Doc Martens are back in use again.

Thank goodness one person has "Clarks",🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Wyllow

Skechers made in 🇨🇳, possibly forced labour from detained Muslims

Yes! Probably more than 60.

Is it a competition? Why do people collect shoes?

A functional capsule wardrobe generally requires 8 to 12 pairs of shoes. This covers all four seasons and various occasions, work, casual wear, workouts, and formal events.

I go for better rather than more now, partly because I need to as I, a my feet, legs and back get older. I have two cupboards with 20 pigeon holes. Each hole fits a pair of shoes. I would love to reduce that to one cupboard.

Is it an age thing, do you think?

I don’t wear trainers. I have many pairs of Gabor flat shoes in green , navy, red , bright pink and beige. They are very comfortable and I keep an old grey pair in the car for driving. Gabor shoes are expensive and I have been lucky to get four pairs on eBay in excellent condition.
My friend wears trainers all the time and tells me how comfortable they are. I like a pretty shoe and don’t think I will ever come round to trainers!
Counting slippers and boots I might have 20 pairs in total most of which are worn.
