Is this weird??

HULAGIRL — Tue, 16 Dec 2014 06:38:40 GMT

Lately, when I find a pair of shoes I really like, I buy two pair.......sometimes in different colors, sometimes not......one pair I liked so much I bought 3 pair. I just want to have a spare when one pair wears out.

If it's weird, I'm with you. I usually buy different colors.

I guess I ask because I ordered a third pair of same shoes yesterday......they're the ones I wear at Jazzercise and a limited edition. When looking in my closet, I counted 5 different pairs of shoes that I've bought multiples of......guess I hadn't realized it was that many. Oh well, glad I have back-ups of my favorites.

Seriously, if you don't care,why bother to post your dismissive comment and add a ho-hum face? Just because YOU don't care?? It's just kinda rude for no good reason.

I think it is actually a good idea, especially if you love the style and they are very comfortable.

If it's weird,the call me weird. I own multiple Doc Marten and UGG boots in different colors as well as some other shoes.

I do the same thing. If I find something that doesn't hurt my problem feet I stock up. Not weird at all. If my feet don't hurt I am a happy girl!

I too have multiples of the same style shoe and clothes, in different colors. Sometimes this is a good thing, and sometimes not. I ordered four pairs of a Ryka shoe -- two in the same color (for one back up.) By the time I was done with the first three pairs, I no longer wanted to wear the extra brown pair I bought. They are still sitting in my closet, brand new in the box. I think it is a good thing to buy more than one of something you really like. But there has to be a little bit of faith that something similar or better will come along too!

I buy multiples most of the time if I really like a shoe. I've done that for years ... ever since I read an article that alternating two pairs of the same shoe will give you the wearing life of three pairs.

Not weird. If i find some that fit well and are comfortable, i will buy more than one pair.

When I brooke my leg last year, the EMS folks cut my favorite riding boot off my leg. I was devastated! As soon as I was able to, I bought another pair, exact same boot, same color, same size. These have been oiled more than the originals, maybe because I appreciate them so much. They are Ariat Ropers, distressed brown. I also own them in Sunset and Black.

For work, I like B.O.C. clogs, and own black, tooled brown, tooled grey, leopard, navy and red patent leather. I generally wear slacks and sweater sets, so they're perfect and my feet don't get fatigued in them.

I buy multiples all the time (in different colors.) I do this with clothing and handbags too. If I find a style of something that really works for me I grab it in a few colors.

Not to me it is. When I find a pair of shoes that I absolutely love, I always buy two. Once I bought 3 of the same shoe that I have worn to death and I was so happy to have back-up pairs. Usually it is the color I wear the most. I do this with Isaac's cardigans also as I wear them constantly in the fall/winter. If I really love a piece of clothing I will buy it in every color.

Footwear is a challenge for me. Yes, I've been known to buy two pairs of shoes or boots and I wear one and put one up on the shelf for next year...or the year after.

Definitely not weird! I buy multiples of something I like.

When I buy multiples I usually soon find something else I like even better.

I've done that many times!

Re: Is this weird??

MalteseMomma — Wed, 17 Dec 2014 03:15:20 GMT

I used to do the all the time.

Guess what? I opened my closet (one I don't use much) and found I had about 100 same style shoes that I will never wear now because I'm old and don't go anywhere anymore

I forgot I had them all. What a shame.

I do too. I've been doing that for many years. Not only with clothing, but with appliances and other things too.

If I really love something (my flat iron, my coffeemaker), I like to know that I have a spare. And with clothing, I often buy two of something I like. If the fit is good and if I know it's versatile, I buy it in different colors.

Just last week I found a sweater that I love, so I got one in black & one in purple. And a casual fleece top - one in navy & one in black. I'm pretty fussy when it comes to style & finding something I feel confident in, so I almost always buy more than one. I think that makes a lot of sense!
