What Stpid Thing Have You Done Today?

[Alex]

It is a relatively recent addition. I won't wear brown shoes with black pants. So I just never owned black pants. But as I am slowly forced to dress better at work and don't get to wear jeans any more, I grew weary of tan pants.

But it is the story of my adult life that it has been a slow accumulation of unnecessary shoes. I'm up to three pairs in relatively common use: black Rockports, brown Rockports, Saucony sneakers. I also own bowling shoes (not used in several years), dress shoes (not used in years), and hiking boots (used only a few times a year, hiking is usually done in the sneakers).

The thought that I own six pairs of shoes is equally flabbergasting to me as it may be to you.

This doesn't surprise the women on this board in the least. I have more than 6 pairs just downstairs (eg: in "immediate rotation")
