What is your take on shoes?

Are you focused on utility or fashion?
Perhaps you wear whatever you find in your size.
Perhaps you have a difficult time finding them in your size!
What aobut color? Do you wear brown shoes with a black belt or handbag and not flinch?
Have you ever felt an overwhelming affinity for a certain shoe?
What thoughts pass through your mind as you purchase a pair of shoes?
Maybe you gave up on wearing shoes - I want to hear about that, too.

Have you ever fallen in love with a pair of shoes madly enough that you paid half of your monthly income for the privelage of wearing them around your bedroom or to a single night of clubbing?

So, TFP - let's hear your perspective, and your experiences. Tell us about your shoes.

--------------------------------------------------------------
My take:

I really do love shoes.
When I shop for shoes, it's an intense process.
I fall in love with a shoe based on its style.
Next comes a glance at its price.
If I can afford it, it becomes an integral part of my life for the next few months.
Quality is the furthest thing from my mind when I shop for shoes because I will likely tire of the style by the time they wear thin.

I wear a set of shoes until they are no longer comfortable, or until they show considerable wear. I walk a lot, and often the shoes wear out in 2-3 months. I have one pair of shoes that has lasted two years so far, which is quite remarkable considering what I have put them through.

I love wearing a different shoe style for brown tones and one for black tones. I love having colorful shoes, too, that will brighten an outfit and my day.

I spent three months searching for the perfect shoe to wear with my wedding dress. I was not satisfied with anything until I randomly came across a pair as I was searching for a textbook on Amazon. They walked into my life unexpectedly, and I snatched them up that day. They were the perfect pair for the occasion. It wasn't until later that I realized I paid $9.00 for them. I had been looking at so many shoes - some that were more expensive than my wedding dress, and just wasn't happy with the styles. Maybe I have cheap taste - I'd rather think that I was lucky.

I rarely have trouble finding shoes in my size - 6.5 is a fairly standard women's size.
