Ok, ladies. What's is the deal on the abundance of shoes?

I'm a lady but I don't have a clue what you're talking about.

Well, I'm only 12, but I've only got 3 pairs of shoes (not counting my horse back riding boots).

I don't really have that many shoes, since I would rather spend my money on something useful like video games or something, but I admit I do really like new shoes. They never make me feel fat, and you can wear them almost everyday as long as they match. (In other words you don't have to wash them after every use) Not to mention I like a lot of the styles out there.

I think he's implying that we have too many pairs of shoes. Yeah, if I wasn't broke I'd go and by lots and lots, but for now I'm stuck with my flip-flops and clogs. Sneakers are dead. Riding boots...too many to count, but they aren't shoes. Nice shoes....I just wear my mom's. I've got big feet.

I've read that celebrities have, like, 70 pairs of shoes. Too much for me.

I do not have a shoe fetish, but one pair of shoes won't work with pants, shorts, skirts, and dresses! So, you gotta have shoes of substance for pants, and "pretty shoes" for skirts and dresses. Men's fashions are boring! Face it!

To be true.
I don't have many shoes.
Actually I have only one pair of shoes for winter. Horrible. They are old and they are for sports activities .. but I wear them all the time.

I really have problem finding shoes. I guess I'm an exception.

I have four pairs of shoes. Two pairs of sneakers (one gym, one for casual wear), and two pairs of dressy shoes (boots, and flip-flop types things.) Maybe if I was a little more financially secure, I'd exercise my right as a woman to the shoe fetish.

I don't have a shoe fetish. My friends don't. My mom doesn't. Most of my female relatives don't. My friends' moms don't. AE, it sounds to me like you're saying all women have a shoe fetish.

Well, my son has a shoe fetish. He buys two new pairs of shoes, every six months at $150.00+ for each pair. Always with the Nike fashions and stuff. When I think what I could do with that money. I Don't think that there is a foot on the planet worth spending that kind of money on.

Btw, men may have fewer pairs of shoes than ladies, but they spend much more money on them too.

*counts shoes*

1 pair snow boots
1 pair sneakers
2 pair sandals
2 pair dress shoes
3 pair slippers
1 pair adorable sneakers with sparkly magenta laces given to me by a dear friend

That seems like a lot to me.
