My footwear addiction

It's official. I've turned into a shoe whore. In my younger years, even as recently as a year or two ago, I didn't care that much about shoes. That changed when two things happened. 1. My friends at work introduced me to Dansko clogs. 2. They built an REI just a mile or two from our house. These two things have been my downfall.

Between purchases on ebay and at REI, I've amassed no fewer than 9 pairs of Danskos in the last year or so. Then, back in the spring, we discovered Keens. After tonight's two purchases, I have 3 pairs. That's 12 pairs of shoes in 12 months. Maybe this isn't a big deal to some of the ladies out there, but for someone who maybe bought a pair of shoes every 4-6 months before, it's quite a change. It's even shifted the way I get ready in the morning--sometimes I have to plan an outfit around the shoes I want to wear that day. Sad. But my feet are so comfortable.
