Oh Elle my northern pride just threw up a little! I shiver with disgust, just no.

True I'm very southern. I'm in no way a redneck, but shorts and cowboy boots are a summer favorite for me.

I wear shoes, yeah.

I have a pair of black Skechers that I wear pretty much every day, but I also own a pair of gold coloured ballet flats for when I can't wear trainers somewhere.
I have a pair of slippers, too; but I'm not sure they count.

If I could avoid wearing shoes altogether I wouldn't own any shoes at all.

I've been wanting a pair of high-heeled (~2" heeled) cowboy boots for a long time. Every time I go to the farm supply store I look for a pair but I have yet to find ones that I like, or that feel good, or are justifiable price.

The last pair of shoes I bought were nude stilettos I bought to wear to a friend's wedding. I have, I think, about four pairs of heels that I love, but I just have no reason to wear them ever. I also have a hard time with pumps that don't strap onto my foot - my feet slide out of them. So even though I can walk perfectly fine in three inch stilettos I look like an idiot because around every fifth step I step out of them. What ends up happening is I walk around in them clenching my toes to try and keep them on which tires my feet out and make wearing heels a huge drag.

And just because I saw earlier in the thread about how everyone was hatin' on Uggs, I thought I'd share that I'm wearing mine today.


Haters be hatin' :p

Haha oh man. Sorry, but I'm still negative on the uggs.

And such nice legs too!

This is a bit off topic for the direction the thread has taken but I thought I would relate the following story:

One Sunday a couple of years ago we are sitting in the living room. My wife is reading the paper and I am on-line. She says, suddenly and out of the blue:

"A woman my age has a right to 36 pairs of shoes."

I didn't quite know what to do with that information and all I said was:

"OK, fine darling, but you have a lot more than 36 pairs."

Suddenly she is standing beside me all red in the face with a how-dare-you look.

"What?"

"I do not have more than 36 pairs."

"Are you insane? You have at least 75 pairs."

Now the reaction was akin to "I've slept with your sister," or something similar, so eventually I said we'd count them.

Now I should explain that I have the advantage in knowing how many shoes she has as I built her a cupboard to house them (called Imelda). Its 2 meters high and has 10 shelves, all different heights for the various heels, half boots, knee length's and so on. Each shelf holds 6 pairs. Its full. On the door are photographs of the contents of each shelf so its easy for her to find them and put them back in the right place.

There are also several overflows which she didn't think I knew about.

Anyway - we counted.

103 pairs.

She was somewhat shocked and very embarrassed. She didn't buy any shoes for weeks after that.

I also say to each their own. You hating uggs means more for me!

I'll post some photos of some Elle-approved shoes when I get the chance.

WHY? I don't understand why some women think they need so many shoes. You can only wear one pair at a time ffs. She could donate the shoes she doesn't need to a charity shop or something and help people. I just don't get it. I mean, 103 pairs of shoes? Most of them must look more or less the fucking same, right? There are only so many colours and styles of shoes.

This is why I have no girly-girl friends. The materialism makes me want to set them on fire.
