Shoes

[AuntG]

Black, tan & navy.

[feline groovy]

Two pairs:  Papillio (Birkenstock) and Alegria.

Arch support, comfortable, casual, neutral shades, 'different'.

Hoping to try lower-wedge Fly London ones someday.

Clearance-priced, of course.

I either wear sandals (summer) or Western riding boots (winter).   The floors of three closets are full.   Too tired to go and count them right now.

I'm working on giving/donating....no one needs this many shoes..  Looking for a leaner zen way of life.  It is a slow process.

I forgot to tell the brands:

Easy Spirit more of these because they fit my feet well.

Vionic 1st time buying this year, love them.

Clarks was all I wore for years.

Birkis had more of these but our daughter-in-law loved them that I gave several pairs to her.

I have four pairs that are the same style in nubuck, different colors (red, orange, blue, brown.  Then another style - four pairs in leather (two black, one ivory and one cork).   And some other various styles and colors.  

All low heels - back and hip issues. 

[ECBG]

I have about 15 pair of Fly London which I wear to work in and all summer with everything.  They're great to work in and look fantastic with capris.

I have about 20 pair of thong type mules in every color.  They're well loved.  I wear them when I dress up.

How many pairs of sandals do you own? What variety? What qualities does a sandal have to have to make it into your wardrobe?

I try to have the following variety:

1 pair casual black,

1 pair black that can be a little dressier

1 pair brown very casual

1 pair brown semi-casual

1 or 2 trendy-color, casual pairs

And 3+ pairs of fashion (floral, patterned) sneakers for summer.

This year, I had a difficult time finding any sandals on QVC to refresh my sandal mix. Comfort is my #1 priority followed by style and quality. I like a flat or low heel under 2". I don't want a high wedge, no matter how high the platform at the front is, and I don't want a 3-4" block heel. I'm on my feet a lot at work and when I'm running errands. I only wear a heel above 2" if there is a special occasion.

Tsubo (one pair)

Volitale weges (two pair)

Chinese Laundry strappy Heels

Nine West (one pair)

Me Too (2 pair)

There are more (I know this) but I'm stopping here.....

I' too embarrassed to even count them. I have a sandal problem, I just love them and tend to buy a pair that I like in several colors. I donated a bunch in early spring, but I still have way too many.

@QVCkitty1 welcome to my world.  I have a footwear problem....period.  LOL.

I love sandals and I have more than I should considering how short sandal-wearing season is here. I buy a pair and wear them for years. I do need to let some go this year. Alegrias have been my go-to's for years. 

I plan on buying NO new sandals this year. I have at least two pairs new in box waiting to be worn.

Love the freedom of sandals. I save $ my not buying boots. Too confining.
