I must be a freak...I'm a woman and I hate shoes!

[janette]

I love shoes, would love to shop for them but it's gotten to where my feet hate them. I have trouble finding any I can wear without pain. I still have a box of heels that I really need to get rid of since I don't think I could still walk in them.

Ahahah, I say that all the time! I've never been a lover of shoes either. I likely comfy shoes, like my Nike sports sandals I've been wearing for 7 years and they're still in GREAT shape! and my faaavorite shoes are my sneakers, they're so comfy! I have a couple pairs of fancy shoes that I like very much but I've never been compelled to go out and by more shoes.
Good point!

Wow!! I thought I was the only one!!

I hate shoes and grew up with two sisters who are shoe FANATICS!!

I wear shoes for comfort. I buy a pair, wear them out then buy another one... It's not the size, I wear a 5 1/2 - 6 and find them anywhere, since not many people wear that size. Usually I can get the display!

I only wear black shoes because I only wear black clothes.

I have ALWAYS hated clothes shopping, too! Or bubble baths, makeup, lotions and sweet smelly stuff. OR flowers. OR fairy tales....I guess I'm not only a FREAK but maybe I'm not a girl either.

I hate shoes too.

But due to working, I have:

1 pair black pumps - work
2 pair black sling backs (one leather and one cloth) - work
1 pair brown slides (mules) - work
1 pair brown summery sandals - work
1 pair black "flat" sandals that are dressy
1 pair black flat sketcher sandals - casual
1 pair black chunky sandals - casual
3 pair very expensive running shoes (because NONE fit me right)

Now, I will have to say that, no, you cannot find one pair of black shoes to go with work stuff. I was able to get away with that during the winter, but with my summer clothes, they are made of so many different fabrics and the length and cut of one pair of pants (long and flared) is totally different from the length and cut of the other (short and straight). So the same shoe just doesn't look right.

For what it's worth, I really hate, hate, hate the shoes. I have no love of finding them and it is a real chore. Also, two years ago I took a tumble in the office parking lot and injured my left foot. It has never been the same. No matter what shoe I put on, after awhile it just hurts to walk in it.

I only own one black purse and carry it through all seasons. I'm fretting now because it is falling apart and I know I'll never find another that I like.

I guess that's ONE advantage I have over all of ya'll office workers. Even though my job sucks big donkey butt, I have a uniform and don't have to worry about having a zillion different pairs of shoes to go with various work outfits.

Birkenstocks. The world's ugliest , most comfortable shoe. If I'm not barefoot, put me in my Birkenstocks.

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

That's what DSIL's hubby says,too. He loves his Birks and a few years ago when his favorite pair wore ou t, that's what DSIL got him for Christmas.

Oh how I love my Birkenstocks! Two of my four pairs of shoes are Birkenstocks.

I guess I'm the freak on this thread. I just cleaned my closet and threw out 22 pairs of shoes. I still have 36 pairs that I am keeping. I only work a couple of hours a day at a school, so I really have no excuse as to why I have so many. I guess I am just very particular about my clothes, so by default I have to be picky about my shoes and accessories as well. Also, shoes do go out of style at least every couple of years.

My husband would be THRILLED if I only had 4 pairs of shoes. I'll make sure he doesn't see this thread.

I'm not a shoe freak either. I own the basics of what you need to get along in life, and nothing more.

 

[outstandinfarmer]

I own TWO pairs of shoes (one tennis, one fancy)

I HATE shoe shopping. I'd rather go to the dentist. I like shoes, but I find it SOOO hard to find a cute pair of shoes that my size hasn't been sold out in already. It causes me such a headache to look for hours and hours not finding anything. So therefore, I hate shoes.

I like flip flops, I hate shoes.

(I LOVE buying purses though!!!)

 

[Robinrs]

Check out my sig, TOV!

 

[Pooh93]

I only have one purse also and I usually use them until they start falling apart! I only have about 5-6 pairs of shoes also and wear them until they start falling apart! I also disdain shoe shopping because I hate to pay alot of money for them, but I hate my feet hurting worse and end up paying alot of money!!

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

Loooooooooooooooooooove it!

I HATE SHOES TOO!!!! I also hate socks. I hate my feet being confined. HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT!!!! And my doc has told me - you need to always wear shoes. I have horrible arches but I hate wearing shoes. I only by them because I have to.

 

[mickeyboat]

Count me in! I am a woman and I hate shoes. But I don't particularly like going barefoot either. I have bunions and had surgery on both feet as a teen. I have never found a shoe I liked but it has gotten considerably better since I have slost some weight. Shoes seem to fit better now.

DD4 on the other hand, is the shoe freak I never was. She loves all shoes, especially flip flops (I can't stand havign something between my toes). She even sleeps in her flip flops.

Now that's a freak!

While I'm not crazy about shoe shopping, nor do I really care what I'm wearing - I do have quite a few pairs. It's mainly because my feet don't grow anymore. Even if I buy only about one pair a year I still keep collecting them. I have sandals, clogs, tennis shoes, dress shoes, casual dress shoes, and boots. I also keep a pair of old tennis shoes for the beach and have a pair I only wear painting. I also have a pair of aqua socks for swimming. I thought I had very few, but this thread makes me seem like a shoe nut!

I do only have one purse. I can't stand changing purses so I bought a black leather "healthy back bag" and it goes everywhere with me.

 

[stitch79]

I'm not a shoe freak either, my bf has more shoes than I do.

 

[Pembo]

I hate shoe shopping & purse shopping! I can never find shoes that fit just right. I wear a pair of black loafers that I've had forever. My most comfortable tennis shoes that I only wear to amusement parks so I don't wear them out.

As for purses, I can never the perfect one. I don't want a HUGE purse but I need more space than a mini one. I need a few pockets inside for things but I don't want a wallet in the purse. Ugh!

What about bra shopping? Hate it! Bathing suit shopping? Hated it until I discovered Lands End. Dress shopping? Hate it! Can never find the right thing...........


You know I used to love to shop but now it's just not as fun......Of course shopping for my 20 mo dd is a blast!


Oh, I hate Flip-flops! They make me toes hurt! I do own one pair that I wore at the beach last summer. But ouch!
