Couldn'y you just have bought some budget ones, and painted them red underneath and saved a few hundredOriginally posted by norrahe View PostThough I was bullied into buying a pair of Louboutins by cojak and Zippy a few years back in Harvey Nicks.

I have one set of smart shoes, complete with steel toe caps as I wear them to the pub etc.
2 sets of trainers (one set is dying so I bought a replacement pair ready).
A set of work boots.
Another smart pair of shoes that a friend gave me which will replace my current smart shoes when they die (also steel toe capped).
Slippers
Mrs MUN bought me 2 more pairs of slippers and two more sets of shoes - I have no idea when I am supposed to wear them as I have sufficient foot coverage 24/7.
I have a few pairs of shoes for when I am doing shows etc. but I don't count those.

I think I have accumulated a pair or two but they all have their functions appropriate to use and also the time of year. I tend to wear shoes to death and then if I can replace them with the same kind.Originally posted by Dallas View Post4 pairs under my desk, next to the trainers and 1 pair on my feet
rackloads at home
all mandatory
I remember being in a permie job for 2 years and took home 25 pairs on my last day.

First we need to know more about Mothertester...........Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostFathertester and Mothertester are in Rome to watch the game tomorrow. Fathertester phoned me yesterday and told me Mothertester had opened her bag and realised she'd only brought left shoes with her and wondered if Lady Tester, with all her psycho-geriatric training, might know if this is a sign of senility. I wondered too, so I phoned Lady Tester and asked her, then she fell about laughing and told me 'it's a woman's trick to force Fathertester to buy her more shoes'.
I expect the Tester family fortune is being heavily depleted on the Via Condotti right now.
Surely only women can be so devious?
Would Mitch?

wimmin and shoes ... wtf is that all about one pair for work, one for leisure and one for best party frock should suffice
Neat trick though & thanks for the heads up
