Reminds me of the Not the Nine O'Clock News sketch where a bunch of one-legged guys nick all the single shoes on the display stand outside the shoe shop.

I remember that. Mel Smith in a raincoat hopping away. Ha!

How many pairs of shoes do you have ?

I feel aggrieved and offended by this post because it does not take into consideration me who has a prosthetic leg. I will sue for damages.

Well, you still need fecking shoes don't you?

If you didn't have a prosthetic leg (and no real leg) then you'd only need ONE shoe.

If shoes exhibited the same transdimensional properties that socks, biros, plectrums and teaspoons had, then you'd be quids in matey!

My other half hates almost all of them and is constantly trying to get me to buy new footwear

Don't give in!

Shoes should be like old friends: easy and comfortable and with a familiar aroma!

I am probably alone in the world for not owning a pair of 'trainers'.

Haven't done since I gave up any pretence at sport at age 26.

What are all you people 'training' for?

Why do some of the most obvious, bear-bellied, couch-slobs insist on wearing this 'sports' clothing?

Anythinh with a Nike logo - whooo must be good

Nope, not alone. I own no trainers at all

I have a pair of those boot/trainer hybrid things that are comfortable for walking in if I'm out with the dog etc. A pair of cycling shoes, a couple of pairs of smartish old style canvas tennis shoes for informal occasions and two pairs of conventional gents shoes for work.

I think part of the problem is that they never throw stuff away or give it to a charity shop 'just in case it comes in handy' or 'i might get a skirt that goes with that'.
