1. My hubby has more pairs of shoes than I do. Honest. We counted.
2. I have very small but oddly wide feet. It’s hard to find shoes to fit me outside of the children’s department. Most children’s shoes are very poorly made with cheap materials. Sure, I may only spend 20$ a pair, but they hurt my feet and fall apart within months, resulting in my needing to buy MORE shoes.
3. A well made pair of shoes can last a very long time. I once had a pair of Doc’s that I wore for 5 years straight – until I wore out the soles. Anyone who has previously owned Doc’s can tell you this is no easy feat.
4. Price tag on the Doc’s was over $250. The shoe stores that carried them wouldn’t order children’s sizes because no one in the right mind would spend that much $$ on a pair of shoes for a kid who would outgrow them in a few months. I had to have them special ordered in and waited over a month for them to arrive.
5. I once spent 3 weeks searching for a pair of simple black dress shoes with a small heel (less than 1 in) appropriate for daily wear at work.
6. I think it’s far better to spend a lot of money on a good pair of shoes that will last a number of years than on a cheap pair that will fall apart in a matter of weeks. Over a given period of time, it’ll actually cost less $$.
7. Rockports and Naturalizer shoes cost approximately 75% of the price tag on a the Prada shoes I want. If I’m going to spend that much money anyway, I might as well save my pennies and go all the way.
8. I need something comfortable on my feet when I walk up 9 flights of stairs in the parking garage at the end of the work day.
9. It’s terribly embarrassing to only own one pair of black shoes (Doc’s) that you can wear to work. Have you ever tried looking business-like in a skirt and Doc’s?
10. They fit properly.
11. They’re appropriate for work or play.
12. They’re comfortable.
13. If I bought them, I’d have shoes that match my purse and wallet 😉
