How many shoes does your wife have?

[monkeybomb]

My wife and I are moving mid July and we are getting rid of as many things as we can.  We have done this a few times and each time I get on her about her shoes.  She insitst that women have lots of shoes and that it's not that big of a deal.  When we first started dating she had over 500 pairs.  Each move she has done away with 150 or so.  This time she went from 200 pairs to 65.  She seems pretty sad about it, but I just can't help but think that 65 pairs of shoes is enough for anyone.  Realize that I am only going to get 15-20 percent of the closet at the new place.  The shoes just didn't make the cut.  What are some other points of view?

[SOAPboy]

Less than me..

i have like 9 pairs.. she has like 4

[HaRuMaN]

Wow...  I thought my girl was bad with like 20 pairs...  I guess I should cut her some slack, lol.

[Bones]

None. I treat mine mean so she stays interested. Sometimes I buy two left shoes and give them to her just for fun.

[Zakk]

Mine has somewhere from 20-30 pairs of shoes.  I have, myself, gone from being a 1 pair kind of guy, to a 4 pair kind of guy. 

I don't mind shoes, but 'flip flops' drive me bonkers.  I just can't throw them out fast enough.  I don't know what a pair of flip flops cost, but they must be cheap enough to be able to buy a pair a day.

flip flop is the sound those things should make when any self-respecting person throws them into the trash.....flip on the lid, and flop at the bottom of the bin.

Get some friggen shoes that lace up, man.  No one wants to see those hammer toes and fugly nails.  Tell the in-laws to bring you some real shoes next time they make the dogsled trip up

Canadians get those things up there?  Don't your feet get cold with all the snow?  How many of your 4 pairs of shoes are snow shoes?

flip flops.....?
Are we talking "thongs"?

I don't believe any human could possibly be against these.
Please explain.

[ChadTower]

Flip flops are shower shoes, and too many people seem to think we want to see their feet.  I agree with Drew, put on some damn shoes.

99.9% of the human race should never been seen in a thong, for that matter.

My wife probably has 3-4 pairs of shoes, same as me.

[Zakk]

Oh I wasn't clear.  I wouldn't wear a pair of flip flops to save my life.  Not ever.  Period.  Book closed.

My wife is the one with the affinity for those pieces of toe jam.  I am the official shoe remover in this family. 

The winter versions are a lot like the summer versions, but with a bigger base.

Shower shoes, heh, I like that phrase.  I'll have to see if that will put her off them (probably not).

All the explanation needed is in the link.  Warning, view at your own expense, since I had to stop vomiting long enough to post the link!

I love flip flops.  People who get to see me feet should consider themselves privileged.

[hyiu]

well... I think I'm normal... I do have a few pairs of shoes...
sneaker, golf shoe, dress shoe, and normal day shoe, slipper...
I guess I have maybe 6-7 pairs total...

my wife ??.... last time I count... just in her car.... there are 22 pairs...

I think I'll pass out if I start counting home stuffs...

My wife has somewhere around 200 pair. Many of them are Vintage - if she has a hobby, then shoes would have to be it. We were lucky enough to get a house with an extra bedroom. I'm converting it into a display room for her more interesting footwear. Lucky for me, she wears a very small size (5), and almost every pair she buys, is deeply discounted. This allows me to buy arcade parts / computer gear without any scorn. 


And I have to say, I think we're starting to move in on the other's hobby. I've got 12 pair of shoes (I used to have 2 - dress shoes, tennis shoes) and she want's to buy a pinball machine.

[missioncontrol]

I'm not really sure....

She has the walk in closet for all her clothes and I get the small closet and a dresser drawer.....

I stay out of her area and she cleans and folds my clothes....... 

[DrewKaree]

erm, i wear flip flops, and they dont make any noise..

You missed something....and still are missing something.  Here.

You may now consider yourself back in my good graces, but you have placed yourself in shmokes' doghouse.

Loving the shoes doesn't make them a treat for the rest of the general population.  If wondering why people require those toe-jam collection devices makes me priveledged, so be it, but seeing your feet doesn't even register close to the "I'm priveledged to have _____" scale in my book.

Cover them hooves up.  I'll allow a decent sandal, I've even got some Birks myself, but lazyflops are a recipe for funk-making and fugly toes.  I can only hope something hard meets your flops with force enough to drive them INTO your foot, thereby making it painful to ever wear those blasted things again. 

I only wish I had a pair with me to beat against the person's head with every "fwap....fwap....fwap.....fwap"

Back on the topic at hand...

My GF has 1 pair of shoes, 1 pair of boots and 1 pair of flippity flops.

My wife and I play Uo Poko almost every night.  But I can't cross into her hobby she collects troll dolls.

so imelda remarried? i was wondering what she's been up to. good for her! move on i say...

[Zero_Hour]

LMAO,

You would not be the first to suggest that.  I'm happy to say that the similarities between Imelda and my wife end there 


Monkrybomb:
Em yeah, Troll dolls. I could see why you might not be really into that.

[Prizmdrop]

I also have more pairs of shoes than my GF. I think she has about 9 or 10, and I have 25 or so....What can I say, I'm addicted to Nike!!!!!
