Why do shoes take over the house? Generally speaking, women have more shoes than men...usually. Let's face it, they are the easiet accessory to buy, at least for me. Buy a new outfit, need matching shoes. Get a new job, need new shoes. Shoes on sale, need new shoes. It's an addiction for some people. Not gonna lie, myself, I have easily 50 pairs of shoes, probably closer to 75 but who's counting. And do I wear them all? Hell no! Some of them still have tags on them or have never been worn just because the opportunity has never surfaced to wear them, but I still have to have them. Someday I will wear them! OR there are the shoes that were super cute or really cheap that were worn once and holy hell, they kill your feet and you will never wear them again but still can't get rid of them. My point being, shoes are great, until they take over your house. The majority of my shoes are in a thing under the bed or in a rubbermaid tote in the closet. They are not strewn about the house or our bedroom. This is not the case downstairs.
Right inside our front door we have an old bookshelf that instead of throwing away, has become the collect all for shoes and misc items that have no place in the house or just never make it to their place. Between this shelf and the floor inside the door lies 28 (no joke) 28 pairs of shoes! 6 of these pairs of shoes belong to me...the rest....proud owners would be husband and roommate. Now, men want to make fun of women for having so many shoes but serious, there are 22 pairs of shoes inside our front door that belong to men! Now tell me, why do guys need this many shoes? Especially when these 2 men in particular spend 14 hours a day, several days a week in the same pair of boots for work? There are also shoes in the living room, in the bathroom, in the closets...all belonging to these two guys. We literally have a shoe bananza going on in our house! So I know why women need so many shoes, its not a matter of want, it is actually a NEED to match outfits but guys, outside of being metrosexual or otherwise could generally care less about matching. Most of the time, we're just lucky for them to have pants on! So why do men need so many shoes??
Hahaha, standing joke in the family was if we ever lost Rachel in Kmart we would find her in the shoe department. Now, how many can say that about a 3 year old? My mother also called her Imelda!
