I bought lots of shoes in the 1980's and still have some of them.

I wish I had kept the platform shoes (2 pairs) that I bought in Spain in 1973. Who knew those would be back in style? The oldest pair of shoes I  currently own is a pair of spectator pumps that my mother wore in the 1950's. I used to be able to wear them when I was younger but they're a little too snug now. I still keep them for sentimental reasons though.

@TexasmouseI can understand why you are keeping them.   I would, too.

I’ve been downsizing my shoe collection, so I’ve sold or donated lots of my shoes in the last several years. I kept a pair of peep toe navy wedges and dressy black cut out pumps that are probably 10 -15 years old. Since they’re only worn a few times each year they still look good.

I have my original FRYE boots from 1974-75. I think I paid about $80 for them. That was alot of money for a young working girl!

Most of my shoes are current or a few years old.  I still have my wedding shoes however from 1982.  I wore white & gold sandals....I've kept them for sentimental reasons but really only wore them back then.

@pprmntstx  Thanks!  They are pretty and current enough looking but they would hurt my feet too much today.  Plus my feet are a size larger than they used to be.

@haddon9  Too bad you can't wear them now, but nice you have them for sentimental  reasons!

I have some boots I need to go through and reclaim the space.  Right now, I just don't feel very inspired.
