Shoes That We Must Have

I just bought a new pair of shoes and they feel good and look sexy! Who can have too many shoes... as long as you wear them? I am busy now making room in my closet.

While looking at my shoes I wondered "How many do I really need?", "How many do I have? "and "Do I really need all of them?". Wow lots of shoes! I need to get organized. So I started by putting them in categories, business casual and dress for work, formal wear, just going out to have fun, comfortable for shopping, golfing, running and walking. I need more room in my closet.

As I was organizing my shoes I saw some that I was not going to wear but I wanted someone to have them. So I gave them to "Goodwill". I also discovered shoes that are past repair and tossed them. Now I have more room in my closet.

How many pairs do you need to own? It is different for everyone. I looked at this as how I live my life and it helped me understand what type of shoes I needed. Certainly you need shoes for fun, work, formal, and performance (running, exercising).

    How many fun pair do you need to own? Fun shoes can be dressy pumps, dressy flat shoes, casual pumps, casual flat shoes, comfortable shoes, boat shoes, canvas shoes, sandals, and boots are very popular today. Boots come in different styles short boots, mid-calf boots, knee-high boots and boots to wear in the rain or snow. These are just a few of the fun shoes you know you want!

    Now we need to look at work.I have an office job and wear business dress everyday with an occasional casual Friday. So I need at least two pair of business dress and two pair of business casual. Depending on the climate you live in you will need rain boots, snow boots, and or water proof snow boots. Remember you should never wear your shoes two days in a row. Your shoes need time to dry out. Yes your feet sweat. Your shoes will last longer if you do. Plus your feet will smell better too.

    It is fun to get dressed up for a formal occasion once and while. All rules change for formal wear. Each formal outfit needs it own pair of shoes. You might have two pair for the same outfit depending on the occasion. Is it a night out on the town with your Sweetheart or is it a Wedding? I always look at peoples shoe's to see what type of person they are.

    We all need some exercise so we can live a healthy active life. Depending on the type of activity or exercise you like will dictate what you need. I love to walk and golf so I need two pair for walking and two pair for golf. It is always good to have an extra pair to break in before the old pair gives out.

How many pair of shoes do you need to own? After reading this article I hope you have a better idea of how many pair you need. You can't have too many... as long as you wear them!
