If I try to make that one of my normal wearing pairs of shoes, it would be harder to make sure I always get them tucked away by the bed. <BR/><BR/>Also, I've been told that shoes last better if you don't wear the same pair every day. When I find a shoe I really like (such as the the sandals I've been wearing for years), I tend to buy multiple pairs at once - so I can alternate, and so I've got a backup if they stop producing that shoe.Jeri Danskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01647833266269245240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238401484560614586.post-58618742419182553092008-09-10T06:10:00.000-07:002008-09-10T06:10:00.000-07:00Wow-- I didn't realize that my five pairs of shows...Wow-- I didn't realize that my five pairs of shows were so unusual. Having a hard time figuring out what I'd even use more for? I can only wear one pair at a time, after all. I guess if someone's really, really into shoes, they would enjoy having a collection of a dozen pairs or more, but I can't figure out what other purpose so many shoes would have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238401484560614586.post-68146390872402770872008-09-08T13:05:00.000-07:002008-09-08T13:05:00.000-07:00Articles like "Bigger is Better" are just depressi...Articles like "Bigger is Better" are just depressing. I've never been able to understand how people can justify 200 pairs of shoes.<BR/><BR/>I think our society is so polarized into the haves and have-nots that our former generally shared priorities have been dramatically altered, and not for the better.<BR/><BR/>Doom.

Some of those pairs are multiples of the same shoe; I find shoes that fit and buy more than one pair.<BR/><BR/>But I've worked with women who are <I>very</I> into shoes, and easily have over 80 pairs.Jeri Danskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01647833266269245240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238401484560614586.post-64101294764722181812008-09-07T22:50:00.000-07:002008-09-07T22:50:00.000-07:00It's official - I'm below average.

I'm working my way down to one suitcase and two pair of shoes but in total, I'd save I've got 4 times that, maximum. 8 pairs of shoes (1 pair of boots, 1 pair of slip ons, 1 pair of sandals, 1 pair of runners, 1 pair of hiking boots - okay, so 4 pairs of shoes - total).Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03511282407245965201noreply@blogger.com
