So, so, so glad that other people buy shoes and then don't wear them! Think I must just like knowing they're in my wardrobe should I ever need them! Once bought a bright orange pair of strappy sandals because they were so unusual I thought I might need them one day and that not many people would have them! Help!!!! Amy x

Oh, they have to be kept in boxes! They have feelings you know, you can't just leave them lying around! Amy x

None at the moment!!!! I feel deprived. I am not a shoe person and only tend to wear them for work. I normally have 3 or 5 pairs on the go at a time but have been avoiding spending money on clothes/shoes in the last few months while saving for a house move. The heel snapped off my last pair of shoes a couple of weeks ago. I limped (literally) to my 2 weeks annual leave using flip flops. I have to buy some more shoes before I go back to work next week.

Amy, have you ever read any books by Marian Keyes? She's a very good and extremely funny Irish author .... and a complete shoeholic! I used to have loads of pairs of shoes, but the interest in them has decreased over the years. I probably only have about a dozen or so pairs now. Perhaps I'd better go out and buy some more! Mandy :)

I too have a problem with shoes. I have over 60 pairs of shoes, 24 pairs of trainers, 18 pairs of boots, 8 pairs of slippers (all smell), 12 pairs of sandals and my wellies. Approx 122 pairs. Husband really peed off and I am banned from shoe shops

Ummmmmmmmmm, ask my accountant?! Have a teeny tiny problem with buying shoes, so quite embarrased to say but it's over 100. Now in my defence shoe shopping is a genuine addiction so I expect sympathy for my problem! Either that or anyone with size 5 feet want to borrow any shoes? Amy x
