Do they put themselves on your feet each morning and self clean? Do they track each other by satellite if they're separated by more than 6'?

I think alot of it is down to you shopping around

I bought a new office chair the other day for 60 quid from The Range.....in Homebase they were selling the exact same chair for 110 quid.....thank god I walked the 100 metres...I bet if i looked on the internet I probably would have got it cheaper.

But i wanted it NOW!!

I've been considering buying a pair of seal skin socks for several years. They're over twenty quid too but are supposed to be very good for walking, cycling, etc. Keep your feet dry when it's wet. Much as I'd love to have them, I can't quite bring myself to fork out the dosh. One day I'll do it. When I come back from the pub probably, after having drunk twenty quids worth of beer.

Can anyone tell I don't have a shoe fetish?

I LOVE shoes.

I once got shoes free in return for letting the geezer take photos of me wearing them, from the knee down Didn't bother me in the least - I still have th shoes though they are a little too...avant guard.... for my lifestyle now. I don't buy as many shoes as some of my friends (although I do have lots and lots and lots, I've not counted) but its a fair guess I have shoes that would work with any clothesI might buy. How do people with only one pair of shoes manage to not wear them through very quickly? I've always thought you were meant to give leather shoes at least one day off between wearings to not wear out? I am also a resoler and rehealer, its worth it if you have great shoes IMO, financially and for reasons of both style and affection.:o I'm also slightly fanatical about shoe care. DH likes to hide his casual shoes from me so they don't look 'too clean'. I do buy cheap flatties to wear round and about, they wear out quickly.

I only possess one pair of shoes - apair of trainers!I have a problem foot since i fell over on it a few years ago and find it so hard to wear anything that doesn't make my foot hurt i just wear these, luckily i don't get to dress up anymore, a posh frock and trainers would look a little daft lol!
On the shoe front, i am dreading ds1starting school this year, ds1's school shoes cost around £36 a time!He has wide wide and typically the shoes Clarks have in stock (they never seem to have much of their range in stock altho we have two clarks shops), the only ones he is suitable for cost that!Plus i have to buy their wide fitting black daps for PE as his feet are too wide for supermarket/shop ones, and they are about £12 eek! Needless to say he only gets his feet measured twice a year! I cannot understand why kiddies shoes are dearer or as dear as the adult ones even baby shoes can cost £25 a time!

It's the same for our grandson - he has wide feet - so Clarks it is at nearly£40 pair, same with the plimsolls and the trainers.

I have a daughter who should have been called Imelda - she loves shoes and always has. She could keep the street in shoes.

I remember when she was about 13 and we were going on holiday, it was the first time we allowed them to pack their own suitcases.

Anyway OH picks up her case and says "what on earth have you got in here?"

Answer about 10 pairs of shoes (she had a Saturday job). We tried to tell her that you need 3 pairs max on holiday - one pair to travel in, one pair for the evening and one pair for the day/beach. And you probably would only use one pair and the others would stay in your case. And you only had a 20k weight limit on the flight.

even if it was real seal skin, it wouldn't be any different from wearing leather shoes.
