Its a bit of a laugh but then again there is deeper side to shoes.. When my mother passed away she had over 100 pairs of shoes several dozen were unworn and in many ocassions the shoes were of the same style just different colours... I'm nowhere as bad but I have far to many pairs and my partner does complain

I am not addicted to shoes, in fact I only have 6 pairs. One dress boot, one running shoe, one tennis shoe, two dress/casual and the water shoes. Basically this is all I need and I am pretty happy with it. For the millions of people out there that think that they need every style and color, it is an addiction and maybe you should start going through them and getting them out of your closet, you will find that you never really missed them anyway.

Stop going to shoe stores... this might help.

OMG are you serious you only have 6 pairs of shoes? What if they dont match your outfit? People pay close attention to what shoes you wear, some people dont think that but they really do. GO SHOPPING!!!!

This is actually pretty true, people can be prejudice about shoes it's very sad.  But it's nothing to go overboard about.  And there are lots of other important things to spend your money on.  My mother is obsessed with getting her hair done.. even if she has a centimeter of gray hair, she'll spend outrageous amounts of money to get it dyed.

The problem I have seen is with people like my sister. She will spend money that she needs for bills on shoes. When she is depressed or just not feeling well, she will go an buy shoes. When she is bored she will buy shoes. When she is happy she buys shoes. She will buy shoes and risk having her electricity turned off.

Oh dear! SHOES! I used to have a major problem with shoes! When I was single I had over 300 pair of shoes. I would buy them no matter if I loved them or if they were just a good bargain. I have gotten that urge under control now and I currently own 10 pair of shoes which is my MAX number allowed. I have 2 pairs of boots, one lace up one pull on (Justin Gypsy are my fav pull on ) One pair Nike, One pair KSwiss, 2 pair dressy shoes, 2 pair sandals and 2 pair flip flops. I'm so glad that addiction is under control! Now if I can conquer the DEW!

One of my girl friends has over 150 pairs of shoes.  It's curazzy and she keeps them all in shoe boxes so basically she stacks all of her shoes up and has a stool to reach them.  And she has a pair of Manolos that she's never worn!  Tons and tons of Baker heels, it's like she has every color shoe you can think of.  I don't see the point if you're not going to wear them :p

Just think about what  you really need.  You probably have enough shoes to go with all of your clothes.  But honestly, shoes get very expensive and you probably have better things to spend your money on.  I recommend going through all of your clothes/shoes/purses/accessories and see how many clothes you really have.  And don't use shopping as something to make you feel better about yourself.  Don't give yourself any opportunities to spend..
