Some of it is, it's easier to buy shoes than pants. Some of it is, "they're $5, they fit, they're cute, I can't not buy them!" and I really don't have a lot of dress shoes. Or shoes, for that matter.

But the harder question is, what to do with shoes I never wear but are too ratty to be donated. I've got tennies stashed in my car and in my emergency kit already, and I'd feel bad (not sure why) for throwing those away.
