Do you have $600 worth of shoes you never wear in your closet?

at last count I have well over 50 pairs of shoes, not sure how many I haven’t worn…….I plan to go the rest of the year without purchasing any new shoes and donate at least 10 pairs from what I own now. 

Interesting, I might just have to calculate how much my shoes are worth, though I’m afraid to find out the answer.

2 pairs of runners, a pair of white sandals, a pair of turquise flats, a pair of (beat up) gold flats, a pair of dark plum dress-y shoes, a pair of black dress shoes, water shoes (x2 – I just bought a second one for our upcoming two week vacation – I prefer to just wear water shoes and my original pair has a few holes), 4 flip flops (worn around the apartment / for going to the laundry room / to go to the pool at the bldg)

Total shoes: 6 regular, 4 flip flops, 2 water shoes

The flip flops are worn regularly at home, as are the gold flats (I need cushioning for dish washing)

1 of the runners is great, the other pair I don’t wear too often because I found I was having arch pain as I wore them for extended periods, and so I bought the second pair soon after.  I could probably sell that pair.

The white sandals I wear with dresses, and will be wearing at my wedding – but they are definitely summer shoes.

The turquoise and plum shoes I am still breaking in (they were both bought this year, and still give me blisters on my heels) – they aren’t worn much, but once broken in, I will wear them regularly.

The black shoes are good with dress pants, but the style doesn’t go with dresses, so those are my fall/winter shoes.

I wear all of my shoes (I tend to only replace them when a) I find things at a price I’m comfortable paying, and b) when mine are beaten up because I dislike breaking in new shoes – I hate blisters, and I hate being uncomfortable!).

Total cost (based on approximate amounts paid): $415

If you had posted this 3 weeks ago I’d have a lot more, but I recently gave a bunch to my sister =p I think I wear all my shoes right now except for one pair of flats (originally $120 but now worn out beyond comfort) and a pair of heels (original $80) that are too narrow and sadly did not get as much wear as they should.

I own 9 pair of shoes:  2 slides, 2 sneakers, 1 pair of flip flops, 1 pair of ecco sandles, 1 pair of dress shoes, 1 pairs of duck boots, and  1 pair of slippers. I’ve been working on the shoe thing for a while now. The only thing I could really loose are the duck boots, but once or twice a year when we have snow  here in Raleigh, they come in handy. Whenever one of the pairs wears out, I replace it with something similar and get rid of the old ones. That way the amount really never changes. It works.

I am most definitely a shoe girl and yes I can say out of the 60 odd pairs that I have I wear 3 on a regular basis. I have been purging my shoes and still have a long way to go I reckon ky net shoe worth is close to just over 1grand ….. opps
