I haven’t even been able to start on the challenge yet because my dog broke my toe. (Yep, the dog broke my toe – only in my world. And it wasn’t even the big black dog, it was the small white dog – sheesh!). Anyhoodle it means I’m stuck with wearing my grotty old black and pink trainers which have nice firm soles and uppers that don’t squish my poor toe. I may have some catching up to do, especially since my estimation of 30-something shoes turned out to be way under the actual number of 52.

Cute boots AND calves that fit?! You lucky, lucky girl! It’s my biggest problem with buying boots. Regular and wide-calf boots abound, but shoe designers care not a whit about skinny calves, it appears
oh and I love your coat, you look very pretty!

Lovely boots! i love finding shoes and most specifically boots i bought a while back and still want to wear. I think this is most likely to happen when buying boots. I must say i have a real passion for boots from all shapes and colours. I recently bought a pair of Vialis boots, they are very hard to find in the uk, one of the rare boutiques who stock these are Black Truffle boutique in london. They have a clog heel and a lovely leather upper and are hand finished. Clogs are going to be quite big this spring so i was thrilled when i bought these on sale. Worth checking these shops shoes and boots selection!!!

Wow, from the back you can really see how high those heels are! Very nice boots, I must say.

My shoeper challenge is not going so well this week, I only wore one pair of shoes that were previously relegated to the not wearing pile. Oh dear.

Thank YOU for the (shoeper) blog and ideas! But… wait! Yes, I have this amount of shoes… collected since… 1998! I remember I gave 6 or 7 pairs last year… because I finally “saw” I wasn’t going to wear them again (well… 3 were new…) But as I told… I “only” have 50 new pairs (not the whole ensemble!) to wear in… now 360 days… (the challenge is running!) So, your challenge came right on time – I had to be sensible one day! (And yes, Asos is really a “curse”, isn’t it? OOOOHHHH!)

I love the heels on them, very unusual. The challenge is definitely getting off on a good footing (oops, shoe related pun again, sorry!)

Don’t worry: I must confess, I fell victim to the lure of ASOS this week too, which means another pair of shoes are on their way to add to my tally! Ah, well, at least we’ll be forced to wear them all, although my job will be slightly easier than yours, with 402 to get through!

Thanks for the lovely comment

Again a lovely picture and I loved the coat! You always look like a fairy!
I need to confess that I was kind of… er… a bad girl yesterday… and while doing what I did I thought of your challenge! My crime: when you started the challenge, I had 400 pairs of shoes. Now I have 402… I bought a pair on Asos and another one yesterday… So… I guess I have at least 50 new pairs to wear, in order to cope with your challenge… I know it sounds crazy, but… well, this is who I am Anyway, great that you gave us 365 days! I will go on with it! Promise!
