It seems taboo to ask this question in regards to how many pairs of shoes one should own. I got to thinking about this subject after I heard a discussion on 93.7 regarding women and the amount of shoes they own. They say the average woman owns 20 pairs. The guys argue, why? What’s the point?

I decided to do a little inventory myself to see which category I fall into. After careful counting I came up with 61 pairs in my main closet. This does not include the shoes that have been sadly stuffed into their boxes and stowed away to save space, or the poor shoes who have been taken hostage by friends or family. So to all men who do not understand WHY we own so many shoes…here are my reasons as to why I fall into the mean of women.

1. Different outfits require different shoes. Not all shoes can be used across the board. Heels and flip flops do not do the same thing for an outfit.
2. New seasons mean new types, styles and colors. Men-you just need to understand that all of this careful consideration that we put into creating an outfit is part of the reason why you find us attractive. Something to ponder…if we didn’t care about our appearances and dressed like guys, would you still find us as attractive?
3. Different occasions warrant different shoes, i.e. weddings vs. beach vacations.
4. And lastly, but most importantly, the shoe always fits. Whether we gain or lose weight, the shoe still fits.

Shoes are just one of many accessories woman need and want to complement their outfit and/or style. Shoes go hand and hand with jewelry, purses/bags, scarves, hats, jackets, etc. The list can go on and on.  Shopping to women is sports to men, we just cannot get enough.

Maybe I don’t wear all my shoes. But they’re nice to have just in case I buy an outfit to match!
