    actually I find it highly interesting... Don't get me wrong if you have spare cash and prefer collecting shoes to old cars, porcelain dogs or buttons then by all means... But these aren't collections for keeping are they? They are wardrobe items, used and worn. This is why I find it interesting :) Why this compulsion to buy more shoes? I buy my shoes in sales as and when I need a new pair. Ok I admit it! I have actually bought a pair once to match a dress for a wedding! I did a mental count and think I have about 10 pairs of "foot wear" that includes 4 pairs of boots, 2 pairs of trainers and 4 pairs of heels. HOW I manage I have no idea... ;) ok ok I do really - I just don't have a shoe fetish :) I like spending my money on paying off my debts, enjoying my social life with my friends and family and the occasional treat for me and the OH Shoes? I'm 5 foot 8 with a large chest... I can't recall the last time any one noticed my feet - my cleavage yes... feet... nope...

    Don't worry, I am sure someone will re 'vamp' the thread - it's not quite down on its 'uppers'.

    heel heel!

    Personally I agree with you GP, call me judjemental if you want, but I just find this sort of thing a bit offensive. And I think it gives women a bad name. Not so much the buying of said items, but the vanity, I see feminism regressing every time I see reports like this. God women, ( and vain men, of course) pull yourselves together!!

    Now talking of people who "need a slap"
