I might be in the minority here, but I'm rather fanatical about keeping my shoes in the best possible condition.

Case in point, I keep them all in the boxes they come in, wrapped in plastic bags, polish them when necessary, I even air them all out at home once a week. If you're going to wear women's shoes in public, then it's important that you keep them looking their best so you'll look your best in them.

Opinions, people? :D

While I like to keep my shoes clean and polished, I am not quite that fastidious about them. Besides, I've over 100 pair - many kept in a storage box in the bedroom closet and, as it is, they occupy way too much space. I'd have to build another closet if I were to store them in their boxes. :lol:

shoe boxes take up to much room, and cause i only have the one room mine are out of there boxes as soon as i get them, i just store them in one larger box or under the bed or in the cupboard and wotever is currently out are, well, just on the floor or on my feet of course.

I'm like that too. I like to keep all my shoes in their boxes nicely put away. And it ticks me off real bad when I ruin a pair. Like one time I was walking down the street late one moarning in these

and I took an awkarad step and all the straps on the right shoe broke! I was very upset. So now I'm kind of uptight about keeping my shoes in good condition.

Wow! I would have thought the straps would be stronger than that, though they look pretty small in some areas. You must have put your weight on them. That would be pretty awkward to walk in one shoe. Rough business if the ground was cold and you had to go barefoot :(

I polish my former "avatars at least once a day because they are black Patent/PVC!! Although the next pair maybe white or red "patent"! :D :D

snapping all the straps on one heel that would be upsetting to say the least!

I can walk on one 6" plat easy! bit not for long, otherwise I tend to hop on my bare foot

I only have one pair of heels.... not for long though! <insert evil laugh here>

apart from the ones I have planned in my "TXT-1's Birthday" thread I also planning a pair of Tony Shoes' "Hot-5" 6" (platformless) sandals although they depend on two things, weather I can walk in them, and COST!

mainly cost!

Well, it's a simple philosophy. Take great care of your shoes and you'll look great in them!

Yeah I thought those straps would be stronger too, but I guess not. The straps for the metal rings in them where kind of weak. But luckly I wasn't too far from home. I just had to walk a block barefooted.

Certainly! :-)

Personally, I don't go to great lengths to keep my shoes in the greatest of shape, for a couple of reasons. Ever since I came to terms with wearing high heels (only very recently -- used to only want to watch, but am now actively participating. :-) ), my taste has been evolving and changing very rapidly. What I think is cute, and what I'm comfortable wearing in public has been changing from week to week. Additionally, since this is still a somewhat new sensation for me, I've been buying new shoes at a fairly rapid pace -- at least one or two pairs a week. As I'm a starving college student (graduate on the 10th of Dec! Hooray for me!), I don't have too much money to fling around on shoes, thusly I don't spend very much on them. All in all, I think thats what it boils down to. The shoes that I buy rarely cost more than $20-$25, and by the time they get a little bit dirty, I don't care for the style anymore.


Maybe when I graduate, I'll buy myself a pair worthy of keeping bright and shiny! :-)
