Women, you only have two feet. Why do you feel the need to buy so many pairs of shoes?

Question

My wife must have at least 60 pairs of shoes. What is up with that?

Answer 1

Because we can

Answer 2

So we can colour coordinate our outfits and have the choice between heels, flats, pumps, stilettos, blochs, trainers, pixies, kittens, sandals, boots or flipflops.

Obv.

Answer 3

Shopping <33

its a waste of time really but fun !!

its something in most women souls,, Shopping just makes us happy

And also women like to show how pretty she is, and wants to be the best of all

its also to match every outfit she has

Answer 4

Well there are just soooo many options out there!  And shoes really do complete an outfit. lol.  

My husband has 50 golf shirts and I've had to move our clothes into separate closets.  Not the end of the world.

What I don't understand is this:  Men say they want us to be more traditional and yet complain about something that is just naturally a female trait.  Women love shoes and accessories.  Husbands in the 50's had this same complaint, when we didn't work and he had to pay for these shoes and whatnot, it might have been a legitimate complaint but I work and if I want to buy shoes, I'm going to buy shoes.

Answer 5

To match with different outfits of cause.

And sometimes we like to wear high shoes, sometimes flat.

And sandals for summer, shoes for in between weather and boots for winter. Flip flops for the beach or sneakers for sports. Different purposes for all of them.

And because shoes are just so appealing, you have to be a woman to understand it.

Answer 6

What makes you think all women have so many pairs of shoes?  I have sensitive feet and buy based on comfort- so I have about 5 pairs that I wear on a regular basis- that includes winter boots, sneakers, and sandals.

Answer 7

Stereotype. I hate shopping of all kinds.

Answer 8

Therefore, we can color coordinate with our outfits, which depends on the occasion and the season.  We need to have a choice of flats, pumps, or stilettos, sneakers or boots, sandals or flip flops, which of course, we must have matching handbags do we not?  It's not easy, but we do try to look very coordinate!  =P  Besides, you have only one neck, so do you own only one necktie?  Duh!

Answer 9

My daughter is the same. Shoes and handbags ..... uuuurrrgggghhhh!

Answer 10

Many of us have so many shoes because we like to have variety and many shoes to go with our many outfits and many occasions.  Kind of like why many guys have so many hats.

Answer 11

Because the woman next door has 59 pairs.  Women always have to one-up each other.

Is THIS what Betty Friedan fought for?

Answer 12

Hey, my husband has way more shoes than I have!  :-)  lol  I have one pair of sneakers, two pairs of sandals and one pair of nice shoes and that's it.  Your wife is just one of those women who feeds the stereotype, I guess.  Not all women are like that!  :-)

Answer 13

Because they look nice and make a woman feel good looking and s**y.

think of it this way

would you rather go out with a woman who wore horrible shoes that were fallin apart or a woman that had nice shoes and took pride in her apperance.?

Answer 14

Havent you heard about the competition?.....the woman who has the most shoes when they die ......wins    :  )

Answer 15

Your wife clearly has a mental disorder. I own twelve pairs of footwear - work shoes x 2, boots, trainers x 2, sports sandals, casual sandals, heeled sandals, flip flops, wellies, walking boots, heels. I never buy shoes I don't wear and only replace them when they're worn out.

Answer 16

Fashion, different styles and colors.  Like a kid in a candy shop.

Answer 17

Maybe they lived a past life as a millipede.

Answer 18

can your red tie go with your yellow shirt? it's fundamentally choices.

men invest in things that feed their mental dept, e.g. electronics, gadgets, etc.. bigger things & more expensive. women invest in things that feed their emotional dept, things smaller in size, less expensive & of cos, they come in quantity. w equal spending power, you get a laptop & she'd get probably shoes in tens or twenties.

women can't see why men on the other side the obsession of turbos, gears, whatnots. that impluse to grab all the pretty pair of shoes, don't think you'll ever get it. why try? enjoy

Answer 19

Some women just like to shop for them.  I have 3 pairs of shoes, 1 pair each white and black dress shoes, and a pair of sneakers.  Most of the time I am in my bare feet.

Answer 20

Well, I don't like shoes, I only have 2 pairs, but I probably spend as much money as your wife does, I just like buying other things, mostly books, and i could spend a small fortune every month in Lush if I could afford it.

I don't know why shoes are so popular with a lot of women , personally they leave me cold, but I don't let it worry me.  if she likes shoes let her buy shoes.  I mean, it could be drugs or booze or something, couldn't it?
