There is nothing wrong in buying a crazy pair of shoes once in a while if you feel so incllined , try to forget all the rules if you so desire, and if you feel confidental that this shoe will be fun to wear, buy it, what have you got to loose. As a shoes collector I have enough shoes for everyone I know. I collect them and after 40 years my shoes are still like new and I love them all. The trick I have is that I don’t wear the same shoes all the time. I rotate my shoes and make sure at least once a year I have tried on that shoe and worn it for half a day and in some cases the whole day. When I don’t like a shoe for a reason that they are uncomfortable, or too outdated and I know I will never wear that shoe again, I get rid of them and replace them with another. When there is a great sale I buy several at a time and try to get new shoes that does resemble any shoe in my closet. But when I find shoes I just love and I am crazy about the fit and the comfort I buy several in the same style but different color.

Collecting Shoes is a lot of fun and never throw them away if they are in good condition and comfortable because the style always comes back It always amazes me that I have such a great collection.
