Ladies, What Is The Attraction To Shoes?

AprilT, I'm not envious in the least bit or stand in judgement towards those who still love to shop til they drop. I've been there, I've shopped, I've bought many many things over the years and I have lots and lots of stuff to show for it, but I guess I'm at a place now in my life where those things don't mean anything to me anymore. I think its great for people to enjoy fashion, things and everything the world has to offer, but I am finding that after a while, I can't rely on those things to create some peace and contentment in my life. Everyone should enjoy it while it lasts, but after a while I find it wears off, is all I'm saying. Those things wear out and get old just like we do. Sorry if I'm depressing anyone or raining on your parades. I just find over-shopping very sad now.

I agree, with the over shopping being sad, something I don't do, I rarely shop for shoes except when I need to replace the ones I have or for a special event if I don't have a pair that will work with the outfit I plan to wear and even then, I look for the best bargain I can find. I spend very little comparative to many people, but, I would imagine that would be relative to what someone considers overspending also. How much I spend now, it would take me a year to spend what I used to spend in a week in earlier years.

I've noticed this most of my life with so many women and have never understood the attraction.

What is it with you and shoes? Is it like so many guys that love muscle cars?

I'd really like to understand this ...

Not the average bear here Sifu, I only have shoes that I need and replace them when necessary. Never into shopping, clothes or shoes. Got a couple pairs of sneakers, couple pairs of shoes, hiking boots, snow boots, combat sandals, and three pairs of heels that I only wear when absolutely necessary...been a long time. Always been a casual dresser, and not interested in labels or latest fashions.

You are so sweet.....We will have one heck of a time... AND if enough wine is involved.. I might get another tat to commemorate the occasion
 
It's about perspective too. I'm trying to down-size the house to move in the future so I'm careful with acquiring decorative stuff. Like just yesterday I went through the house and gathered a bunch of framed pictures. While pretty or cute they were cluttering up space...my walls are brimming with framed stuff. So I made a sign " Free to Cat Lovers, Enjoy!" and lined them up by the book donation shelves at my favorite library. I'm sure they brightened a few people's afternoons.
 
You could not pay me to wear heels! Haven't had any in more than 20 years. I've never had a big thing for shoes although I do really like black boots. And the key for me has been comfort for at least the last 20 years. Since I've had issues with plantar fasciitis good support is number one, 2 and 3!
