yes, I own 76 - 100 pairs of shoes. I have small feet and when I find shoes that fit me I tend to buy them in as many colors available. When I left home at 19 I did have about 120 pairs of shoes!!! Emelda Marcos move over!!! I love shoes! The funny thing is, I prefer to run around barefoot!!!

My daughters made fun of me because I have over 50! I lost count as I had to have my husband make extra shelves under the stairs to store them. I have a wide foot so I too buy 1 in every colour if I find a comfortable pair. My dream - to own the ruby slippers from the Wizard of Oz (ok not really but a pair like them). I remember watching it as a kid and thinking they were the best thing ever - maybe that's how it all started!

It's amazing how many black shoes I have (they go with the black clericals I wear!). I have small, narrow feet which makes finding shows difficult. I do hate getting rid of the old ones though..

Oh my gosh I love shoes but don't have room for alot. So I tend to be conservative?

The more shoes is the better in my opinion!!

I don't have alot of room either so I don't have as many as I would like. My biggest passion is boots, helps since I live in New England and need them. I think I have 4 pairs of boots alone and I am looking for more!!! LOL

WOW! I thought I had ALOT of shoes and I only probably have about 30 pairs (including sandals, boots and sneakers!). I have ....ahem....gained some weight in the last few years so a lot of them are heels that I don't feel comfortable in anymore!

EEK! I am in the over 100 category.

But admitting you have a problem is the first step, right?

You are taking a far more generous approach to it than my dh.

His birthday card this year had a pair of gorgeous evening sandals on the front. Inside it said: Happy Birthday. I love you more than shoes. Beautiful shoes...



***LOVE your avatar. I am a magpie, too.

DH can't complain too much about my shoes. One evening we counted about 40 pairs of shoes for him. Now that's alot for a man!!! One of the reasons I adore him!!
