P kaizer, vsmart suede high heels/evening
Black mum boots - 3 yrs, gd cond
Clarks dk grey long boots, c2011 - Worn
Black Clarks schoo girl walkers - yukky shoes might do dd in an emergency
Red .Mother's Footglove Walkers - eek but comfy
Navy - mother's navy sandals - rubbed her - OK ish for me
Black clarks sandals - worn and dated c2005
Black patent R and B patnt sandals fancy but not comfy - c 2OO8 - not comfy
Shoe Zone - navy canvyas - nearly knackered but one more hol/beach in them

So, 17 pairs - some ready for the charity bag. Do you all agree every pair needs To be worn until ready for the bin until replaced or are ther three or four ready for the bin. Can I justify a pair of really comfy slip ons a la josef Siebelish for knockig about in? My feet feel tired and old btw. WWYd, plse bear in mid that I really lilke shoes.
Sensible walking trainers

I own 4 pairs of shoes
Dr Martens 1460
UGG Adirondack
Hush puppies ballet pumps

And crocs

They will all be worn til they die and will then be worn some more Grin

17 pairs doesn't seem too excessive though I'm sure some people have more

LuisSuarezTeeth · 01/06/2013 21:07

If you're not going to wear them, donate them to someone in need. Put them on free cycle?

LuisSuarezTeeth · 01/06/2013 21:08

Before they get too crap

Tweasels · 01/06/2013 21:09

What the fuck?

phantomnamechanger · 01/06/2013 21:12

not sure I understand the point of this thread?

but if you are interested, smelly worn out shoes sell for ££ on ebay (to very odd people IMO !) NO, I have never done this, it was something I discovered accidentally while looking for a foot pump! (look for used pump)

IneedAyoniNickname · 01/06/2013 21:20

I'd you no longer wear them, for whatever reason, charity shop them. Simple, not sure what you're asking tbh

marriedinwhiteagain · 01/06/2013 21:28

Should I wear them all put or can I chuck/donate and get new ones. Happy to wear put the one thatare stylish and comfy?

don't be silly nlow

IneedAyoniNickname · 01/06/2013 21:33

Well surely if you're not happy to wear them, it is pointless keeping them Confused

LuisSuarezTeeth · 01/06/2013 21:35

Perhaps post in Style and Beauty? Your naming of brands means nothing to me unfortunately. If you want to buy new shoes and can afford them, do so.

mysteryfairy · 01/06/2013 21:39

How old are you? I don't think you have an excessive amount of shoes but it does sound a bit like with what you have you are rocking old lady chic which you can only get away with if you are either 18 and gorgeous or actually an old lady.

Never heard of Josef Seibel but a quick google suggests they are the sort of shoes usually to be spotted displayed in glass cases in podiatry departments. Couldn't you extend your collection with something more frivolous?

marriedinwhiteagain · 01/06/2013 22:15

Older than justine - the age when I can afford good shos but cank( do high heels

Are you drunk, married? Confused. Whose permission do you imagine you need?

NeoMaxiZoomDweebie · 02/06/2013 01:01

I said it once and I'll say it again...why are you asking us? It's a bizarre thread with no purose!

And MysteryFairy puts it so well!

lollilou · 02/06/2013 02:56

The more shoes you have the longer each pair will last! Well that's how I justify my boot collection.Grin
