callistra: Fuschia from Sinfest crying her heart out next to Hell's flames (Purple Flower!)
Y'know, for someone who wears roughly two pairs of shoes most times, I have a lot of shoes.


Shoes dumped on the bed! Shoes dumped on the bed!

Yup. Title says it all.
Shoes Dumped on the bed for sorting Shoes Dumped on the bed for sorting

I dumped them all on the bed, then sorted into pairs, ditched the ones that don't have pairs, and I am about to go back and decide if I want to keep what's left!
Neat little rows. Shoes!!!! Neat little rows. Shoes!!!!

Hmmm. Lots of black in there.
Discard Bin Discard Bin

Things to Go. From the initial removal of everything on to the bed.

Hmm... some of those look oddly familiar :)

Yes,..... yes, they should. And will be coming to a girlfriend near you...
*grin*
Your feet are narrower than mine, and after the pregnancy, while I don't think I got swollen feet much, I'm too scared to even *try* and put some of those hoofers on. I might never get them off and that would be WAY embarrassing to explain to Vincent when he gets old enough to ask why Mum always has one leg six inches taller than the other.

See, I love trying on shoes and I love the fact of shoes, but I also only wear two of my pairs of shoes and a pair of thongs.

I have moments, when I look at the denim platform sandals and really wonder what exactly I was thinking when I bought them.

LOL
Platform demin sandals
LOL

Er
sorry. I'll be good now. This is a collection for ... well, as long as I have been wearing and buying my own shoes. So it could be much, much bigger. :-)

And yes, realistically, I have the slip on sandals I am wearing now, one pair of "going out" shoes that I wear, my docs and my steelcap boots. That's really all I wear, so the rest are basically fluff. Not necessarily fluff I am willing to give up though....

You're ditching Docs!! SACRILEGE!!!!

What isn't obvious is how manky that pair of docs are now.

Third pair this week being chucked from our house. I chucked 2 pair, both of which didn't have toes any more.

Anyway, the "mystic Docs" aren't that good. In good old blitey, they were cheap and comfortable. They were never cheap here. There are much better shoes for much cheaper.

*whines* but they look cool...

*giggle*
Those ones make me look like I have clown feet, and the stitchinghas given way on the heel. They've been like this for years, and I haven't had them fixed yet, so I figure it's time to give them the big heave ho.

Now my Cat Boots. THEY looked cool AND they were cheaper and more comfortable.

The Cat Boots had big tread soles, steel plates over the lacing and decent padding. MANLY boots. (these are a pretty close approximation of what I bought, but with more padding and metal (http://www.catfootwear.com/Shop/Detail.aspx?NavID=M-WRK&PID=6536))

Mind you I still lust after Dredd Commandos (http://www.dracinabox.com/frdreddcommando.htm).

One of these days I would really like to write a post about my relationship with shoes, just to offer a different perspective on footwear.

I'd like to read it.
:-)

I shall have to see aboutgetting a new roll of film for the camera first as I need some before and after shots to illustrate my story.
