They're adorable, but right after I bought them I realized I must be crazy trying to wear white boots out there right now.Yvette Ward-Hornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12267025311087082101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164782854241221207.post-79200185374500037992010-01-19T05:58:36.080-08:002010-01-19T05:58:36.080-08:00Well, hey, Karen.

I think she had around 3,000 pairs of shoes.<br /><br />Geeze, we must be related! But really, I'm not doing too bad with my shoe collection after all. <br /><br />Wowser, red snake skin! How did you manage to part with those? I would have whipped out that two bucks and had them back. <br /><br />You could start your own twelve step program. Like Ronda said, take twelve steps in the shoes and then give them away.Dorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05953973448175171825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164782854241221207.post-40569533836927922082010-01-19T05:45:20.498-08:002010-01-19T05:45:20.498-08:00I've never heard of UniQlo.

Many were dear old and scuffed, like a raggedy stuffed animal and after realizing I probably would never be able to replace them exactly, tossed them out. Several pairs I gave to friends with the same shoe size and about a dozen nice pairs went to the Salvation Army, just around the corner from my workplace. <br /><br />One day, curiosity got the best of me and I popped in to see if they had displayed any of my fancy high heels. There on a shelf were my red snake skin 3" heels with a $2.00 sticker on them. I swear, I almost bought them back.<br /><br /> Wonder if they have those 12-step meetings up here.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />KarenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01334746445039180427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164782854241221207.post-1972922559097725292010-01-18T16:28:00.481-08:002010-01-18T16:28:00.481-08:00Dorraine,

The only store I go to nowadays is UniQlo. They're very reasonable and pretty good quality. The store branched out to the U.S. Maybe you have it in Texas.keiko amanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009453048859594709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164782854241221207.post-81677729277434567792010-01-18T15:03:55.783-08:002010-01-18T15:03:55.783-08:00Thanks, Stacy.

The black pumps a little extra but not much. <br /><br />I'm a wheeling and dealing kind of woman!<br /><br />I've never been to Japan but it sounds like an expensive place for shoe shopping. When you've got to have them, though, you've got to have them. <br /><br />We all have far more than we need in this country. Odds are, I'll be giving shoes away.

I've managed to find some that don't kill my feet. I don't know why I love wearing them so much. Must harken back to my ballroom days.

You should see the price tag of my last purchase. It was a plain black flat shoes. Nothing fancy, but I needed it pronto. I would never buy shoes in Japan again. <br /><br />Nowadays, I only buy tennis shoes in the U.S. I used to be a shopholics, so I still have other shoes to last my lifetime. Wait a minute. That's sad, isn't it? I got to do something about that soon.keiko amanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009453048859594709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164782854241221207.post-64621100611355049812010-01-17T20:58:36.868-08:002010-01-17T20:58:36.868-08:00I love shoes too!

But that doesn't mean I don't like looking at beautiful shoes, oh I DO. Jimmy Choo. Manolo Blahnik. Fine Italian.
