I cleaned out my cloests(s) and got rid of 60 pairs! That still leaves me with over 200.

Me? Too many shoes? Never! I need that 89 pair of black shoes. Seriously.

As I read all of ya’lls super comments, my eyes swell with tears, tears that could fill an ocean. I am also of the shoe loving type, but only have two measly closets to fill my shoes up with, and some of the closets have to have space to put things like clothes in. But I do what I can and I have a super fantastic collection of about 50 shoes, 35 pairs of good shoes and 15 pairs of shoes to wear with the cows. But sadness has taken over my entire existence. This sadness is called having to live in a dormitory for the next three years of my life…. I would buy a house like the normal college kids, but my colleges believe that the experience of dormitory living will be a life long lesson. Stupid college people, with their old brown shoes! I will have to leave behind my beautiful rainbow of high heels, heels in every color. My trashy stripper pink ones with the heel of metal, my beautiful blue velvet ones, that make me feel like a goddess. My babies will be cruelly taken away from me for three years! But then I think screw it, I can just not wear clothes… all anyone needs is a good pair of high heels, and a whole lot of confidence.

Annalucia, thank you for recommending the Naturalizer. The Maureen also has the wide feets, and prefers not to wear the heel of the highness most of the time. While the shoes of the Naturalizer may not be of the superfabulousness, there are some that have the quiet good taste.

The remedy for too many shoes is to increase closet space space or decrease the nunber of shoes. The obvious choice is add more space!

Oh dear. I believe I only have 17 pairs. I must get to work. Particularly on the brown shoes appropriate for the office.

Then again, I live in Los Angeles and own 5 pairs of boots! Los Angeles requires boots for maybe all of 2 weeks when it rains (and then, of course, not the lovely suede boots).

Ah, Manolo, you are truly the soothing voice of reason in this troubled age. No longer, will I be ashamed of my many shoes. Instead I will celebrate them! More closets? Yes! Also, I shall install lighted mahogany glass fronted curio cabinets to display my beloved footwear. No longer simply ’shoes,’ hereforeto they will constitute the basis of ‘the Buchanan Collections.’ If it’s good enough for the Victoria and Albert Museum, it is good enough for Chez Kate.

There are many things that the superfantastic person can have too many of. . . but shoes ain’t one of them. The Texasexile, she has too many pairs to count. I have high (Manolos, D2Squared) and rock bottom (20 year old pair of Chuck Taylors) and I love them all! Having 63 pairs just means that you need to buy more shoes.

This is the validation I have been looking for. When I married two years ago, my husband was appalled that any woman would have so many shoes and still desire more. Manolo - you are the best. I am forwarding your commentary to him right now with glee.

Hello. My name is Kim. I have a shoe problem. Well, not according to some, but I’m trying to be normal. Hah. I have around 49 pairs of shoes. I divested myself of the shoes that were uncomfortable, out of the style and just generally not superfantastic awhile back.

Therefore, I had THE HOLES IN THE SHOE NEED AREA! Which necessitated going out and doing the buying of the hole-filling. Unfortunately there are stores like the DSW and the Dillards who have the hole-filling shoes. Just for the small, everyday work sort of shoe or the jeans accompanying shoe or the funky wearwherever shoe.

The one major hole of the shoe area that I’m needing to fill is the boot. Even though I live north of Houston and really should, just in general, have some sort of boot, I’ve had a problem pulling the trigger on buying THE BOOT. It’s simply too fricking hot still.

However, I’m happy that we can wear the slides and the looser sorts of fashions for a longer time than those who are stuck in the yankee sorts of weather, those who have to suck in their cheeks and buttocks and toes as the weather fridgidizes around them. Really. I’m so sorry. (I grew up in Wisconsin so I feel free to laugh riotously at those sunk in the depths of despair up there. shuh)

I’m encouraged about my shoe foraging abilities lately, though. I’ve discovered I have, as I thought, good taste. More taste than money. Oh well.

Indeed, it can be postulated that the super fantastic person of either gender has a duty to own the absolute maximum of wonderful shoes. Ask yourself, can there ever be too much beauty in the world?
