My friends cannot believe that I only have two pair of shoes - a brown pair and a black pair. Last year, I sold all my shoes on eBay to make extra money. I honestly had over 50 pair of shoes but never wore any of them but the brown and black pair. As you can guess, I am not a clothes or shoe horse! As long as I have something to fit my needs, I'm fine. However, I was worried over the upcoming summer season. I do a lot of running around and felt that my brown and black pair of shoes would not be appropriate in 95+ degree weather. So, I broke down and ordered a pair of canvas shoes for $7.96 (on sale from $45) from Sierra Trading Post. I like Sierra Trading Post because I can use PayPal. (I do not use credit cards at all!) These are a nice yellow pair - not too bright but not dull either! They came today and are very comfortable!!
Hi Susan! I don't have many pairs of shoes either so I don't think it is odd at all. I had to get rid of all my shoes when I had to be fitted for orthopedic ankle boots and now I have the pairs they allow me on my insurance. One pair every 18 months. I keep the old ones (even though they are written off) to use while gardening or walking in the woods. They are so much money that I am afraid to throw out old pairs and they are made for my feet so noone else can use them.
ReplyDeleteI found out two things from all of this. We really don't need many shoes and it is a freedom feeling not to have to make the choice out of tons of shoes which ones to wear.
