My new walking shoes are 9's. Bought those and new flip flops last week. Love them both-very cushiony. They are both my new favorite pairs of shoes.
I don't have a shoe fetish..I own a pair of sneakers, a pair of boots, 2 pairs of sandals, and 2 pairs of regular shoes. I have not worn high heels for about 25 years!
The last pair of shoes I bought was $70 on sale and that was 2 years ago...of course, having been retired for more than two years now, I spend a lot of time barefoot!
Loving all these amazing shoes!! so me look like they could even be in an art gallery. I just bought a new pair of wedges and I love em :)
I bought a new pair of hunting boots and didn't tell my wife...does that count???
Interesting pictures!
Shoes do almost nothing for me. I can't STAND wearing heels, so I usually opt for flats or sparkly flip flops if I am going for something "nice" (it's Houston, I can get away with it). I have some sneakers, some flip flops, converse, flats, and maybe two pair of heels for when I HAVE to wear them. The last time I bought new shoes... a couple months ago? Aqua Converse.
