I love shoes. I never seem to get enough; there are always some pairs missing from my collection. I have them all lined up so I can look at them when ever I want. Sound familiar? I bet many of you feel the same way about shoes. I started thinking though: How many of my shoes do I actually wear? I decided to do a count to see where I’m at. Now I bet my number of shoes is small compared to real shoeaholics, but I ended up at exactly 60. Most of them are pumps and heels. I only own two pairs of sneakers (one that I’ve never worn). I have recently given away old shoes I don’t like anymore to the Salvation Army, so these are all shoes that I still like and plan to wear. The statistics tell me I could have given away way more:

# of shoes I wear regularly: 4 (Approx. 6,5 %)
# of shoes I wear from time to time: 10 (Approx. 17,5 %)
# of shoes I’ve worn a few times: 23 (Approx. 38 %)
# of shoes I’ve never worn: 23 (Approx.38 %)

Now many questions comes to mind: Am I too materialistic? Am I at all normal? Can any of you say you’ve never or rarely worn more than 75% of all your shoes?
