Shoes Shoes and More Shoes

Posted by Barbara Doduk | March 27, 2008 .

Okay, in one way I am your stereotype woman.

I LOVE SHOES.

I told my boss the other day I think I have a shin splint, which is probably due to my collapsing arch and the titanium screws in my ankle (from the accident in 1992). My ankle has been pretty much shot since, and they want to stick more screws in it but I have refused. I said to my boss that my high heels probably make it worse. My boss just laughed and said what is it with you women and you torturing yourself with these shoes. I just laughed.

What can I say I LOVE SHOES.

My friend Mimzie in NY posted some pretty scary shoes on her blog the other day and it got me thinking about shoes again.When I had the opportunity to own my own business, the first thing I thought of was a shoe store. I thought it would be perfect, to own the store and get all those shoes for practically nothing. Thinking back it probably would have been a great idea… oh well.

I once owned over 100 pairs of shoes, some of which I admittedly never wore once, but still had in the box. I can walk by a shoe store now without the urge to try every pair on and/or buy some. I still drool over them though as I walk by and think “OOOOO those are nice.”

I am also more practical in the types of shoes I buy now. I own more runners than anything, because they don’t hurt my feet, but I still love my heels. Awhile back Miss604 had a little post about footwear, so I pose these 2 questions to the women of WCW:

1. Where do you buy your footwear?

2. And what is your favourite pair of shoes?

My answers:

I usually get most of my shoes at Payless, I even get emails from them. I like the prices and selection and that I can just try on a pair without the hassle of salespeople. Generally I only need a little sneaker or something casual so I don’t need to go to some swank place and pay a really high price.

My favourite pair of shoes has to be… oh toss up really, close tie… first are my heels from Spring [Picture below]. I love the eighties vibe of them, and I got them from the Spring shop on Robsons as a birthday present to myself last year.

Second favourite (its a very close tie) are my calf-high high-heeled boots, I got them at Le Chateau last fall [Picture below].

    Ok, great minds and all that…was just thinking about what were my fave shoes!

    For a sahm with no life I have too many shoes.
    I have a lot of shoes I do not wear…but I or my dh liked em.

    I buy a lot of shoes from Sterling ..and Nine West.

    The Sterling ones tend to get worn more than the Nine Wests do…sigh..those one’s are mostly my fantasy life of clubbing and socializing at places where you don’t wear jeans.

    I live in my chelsea boots…a little lift slims a butt in big jeans.

    I miss my blocky Clarks Clogs…THOSE were the best..enough lift for slimming but TOTALLY comfy.

    Sigh.

    I have many pairs of high heels that don’t get worn.

    Poor Dh can only dream of me in them!

    Oh Crunchy I use to have a shoe fetish as well….I had 20 pairs of black shoes alone…now how crazy is that…when I moved to the Island I had 3 huge rubber maid containers full of shoes…guess what I live in now….my green rubber boots, my runners….but now instead of having a huge collection of shoes I am getting a very large collections of runners…all colours, some for my running, others for just kicking about…then others for working on the property…..ah shoes….I do still love them!

    I have masses of shoes too and wrote a post about them early in my blogging career. I had 75 pairs, some many years old but now most of my shoes come from Ronsons and are sensible shoes. I hate high heels since they are so uncomfortable although I do admire them in the store.
