    I have a shoe addiction

    Oh I'm serious, I have a problem NOT buying shoes.

    I'm not quite up to the number that Divvy has, but I think I'm only a few behind now.

    They're just about to get their own set of shelves in the bedroom because they don't fit in the wardrobe any more.

    I want a house with a shoe room!!!!!!!!!!!! (and a handbag room, because that addiction is growing as well).

    Heehee I sympathise -although I don't give in to my addiction, but I do lurve them. My issue is heels because I have nowhere to wear them! The odd occasion we go out doesn't seem justifiable. I want to know what your top 3 pairs are please!

    Will tell you mine for now - black and red ballet flats!, my thongs (ahem - fashionista much?) and my brown knee high boots - bring on winter.

    "shoe room" - you speak my language!

    I really need to do a cull, we moved from house with walk in robes to house with nothing so they are all currently lined up against the wall on shoe racks stacked 4 rows high DH isn't impressed lol

    Have you tried Anna Fiori in the Block arcade - that's where I go to feed my habit. I haven't for a while, as I'm broke and can't wear heels atm. It's only a short stroll to Peter Jackson for more shoe porn. For my wedding, I discovered a shoe place that customs makes the shoes and you can get a matching handbag in the same leather/fabric. Cant remember the name, but they're in High St Armadale and Brunswick.

    I'm an enabler arent I?

    My faves are: red patent leather pointy toe stilleto and bottle green suede pump, both from AF above, and my slip on black suede knee high boots I bought in Vienna. None of which I can currently wear

    Here goes

    Flats
    • Natural Sport sandshoe type things
    • animal print galoshes
    • Rip Curl thongs (funnily enough picked out by Divvy's youngest)
    • Asics running shoes - I try to get to the gym daily and have started running, these are my running shoes (yes I have other shoes for non-running gym days - funky reeboks)
    • Nude Guggenheim Brogue in aztec


    Heels
    • Black boots with red flames on the toes (got these a couple of weeks ago and I need to stretch the leather a bit and get some party feet for them because they are a bit ouchie after an hour's walk)
    • Boston Babes court style shoes - loved these ones so much I got them in both zebra and giraffe
    • I heart Billy - blue kitten heels
    • Demonia black & white platforms
    • rmk Black boots with stiletto heels


    Actually don't start me on the boots, I now have 10 pairs (not including ski, work or riding boots) and as we're coming into winter that will increase

    I'm also on the hunt for some ballet flats, plus those funky ones that roll-up to fit in your handbag. That will be tomorrow's shopping expedition

    I have big flat club feet and shoes look terrible on me

    But question for you fashion girls - I want to buy a pair of brown leather flat knee-high boots, but given I am due to have bub 2 in July I'm thinking I will only have limited use this winter. Are brown boots here to stay for a few seasons or could I end up not being able to wear them again?

    I bought brown boots last season and they are still in this season! LOL

    My favs would be:

    Peep Toe: Black patent leather. open toed gorgeous yummy heels mmmmmmm
    Tony Bianco: thigh high tan boots, but the top rolls down to make them knee high and the inside leather is a lighter tan, almost cream! SO HOT
    Pleaser: my pole dancing shoes, 6" heels, diamonte studs down the heel!!

    May I just say that a shoe addiction is definately NOT a problem??? I have a glass display cabinet in my dining room and one in my lounge displaying my select fave's for each month. I used to wear them all regularly but while pregnant, they only went on when I left the house. My regular occurances at the moment are baby pink Zoe Wittner leather platform stilettos, White & gold plated Pied a`Terre platform stilettos, and 3 pairs of Iron Fist platform stilettos: Purple, black & green limited eddition 'zombies', black with hot pink skull sequined & grey with black lace print with hot pink ankle strap with flower on the open toe.

    I do have a couple of pairs of flat shoes, 2 pairs of regular thongs & a pair of sneekers.

    I have a shoe addiction and I don't have a problem with it! (only Dh's bank account does! heehee)

    Well I went to the farmers market this morning and not only did I come back with some food, but I came back with a new pair of shoes (taking total to 46 I think), put together a set of shelves in the bedroom yesterday for the boxes, have ordered some clear boxes off ebay for those shoes not in boxes & for some in boxes because the boxes are dying.

    Must ...... Stop ....... Buying ...... Shoes .......

    Nice one!!! I wish I had more opportunity to wear heels - I wore some last night and nearly died. Seriously had to leave a bit early because of my feet.
