Are you a "shoe diva?"?

Asked by Knotmyday (7516points) December 4th, 2008

According to some people, I am. So I like nice shoes, sue me. And I’m a guy, in case that question comes up.
Is that so wrong {:^)

Does Drake like the taste of fine leather? If so, cave canem, unless he has four matching hand-made English foot covers.l

I love shoes… but oddly enough, I prefer to me barefoot! My closet is overflowing, and yet I still feel that I don’t have enough.

My beau and I each ordered a pair of custom moccasins from CatskillMoccasins.com and I can’t wait for them to come in! I really can’t afford them, so mine are fairly low and plain; but my beau ordered the full height with some elaborate trim. Once we tried on a sample pair, we couldn’t say no! They are better than bare feet!

I just like having a lot of shoes to choose from. I have shoes that cost $5 and shoes that cost a few hundred dollars. I’m more of a shoe fan than a shoe diva.

I have four pairs of shoes: Dress shoes, boots, flip-flops, and my shoes I wear 80% of the time are Converse All-Stars. So, no, I don’t think I am.

My ex husband used to show people my shoe closet because I had so many shoes. So yes, I’m a shoe diva. What is stupid about it though, is I usually wear the same 3 or 4 pair most of the time.

I’m with tinyfaery on this one. I’m definitely more of a shoe fan than a shoe diva. :) I would probably have a ridiculous amount of shoes if I had the money and room, but cost doesn’t matter so much to me. I have a hard time imagining myself paying hundreds of dollars for shoes. Boots, I can see. Because if they’re a couple hundred they’re usually much better quality. But anything more than that and I just don’t think I could justify spending that much money on shoes.

I’m a guy also and I wouldn’t call myself a shoe diva but I do have 2 pairs of all the Jordans. Perhaps I’m a collector or crazy or something but not diva

I wear rainbow flops, dc sneakers, and uggs. I’m in no way a shoe diva.

I am most definitely a shoe diva/fan. I run the gamut from flip flops to farragamo…I love them all. I believe it’s impossible to have too many shoes or purses.

I’m definitely a shoe diva…I have a plentiful collection, and I’m always looking for more, yet I still have those days when I feel like there isn’t a single shoe that will go with what I’m wearing.

peedub's avatar

I might be what some refer to as a sneaker head.

TheKitchenSink's avatar

I’m exactly the opposite. I will wear a pair of shoes for four years straight, even when I’m growing. I stretch them out until they fall apart.

I think I’m a closet Shoe Diva on a Shoe Pavillion budget.

30 Helens Agree: You can’t pay too much for a good pair of shoes.

Ummm, Zappos gave me a personal shopper who emails daily. One of our local shoe boutiques delivers about 6 pairs of shoes per week for me to try. I don’t know if I classify as a diva, however, as I don’t collect shoes. I wear most of them for a season and then donate them to a resale shop that caters to the well-to-do but is a not-for-profit that funds woman’s shelters.

@TheKitchenSink:
I have shoes that are at least 10 years old. But buying quality and having a variety of options mess they won’t wear out so fast.

TheKitchenSink's avatar

@hearkat: The shoes in question were worn from about 5th grade to 9th grade, and were rather rigid initially. And my feet GREW.

When you get older the size thing isn’t an issue so much. Four years of rapid foot growth yet I stayed with one pair.

hearkat's avatar

@TKS: Ahhh… I misunderstood. Sorry!

Your feet can STILL change in adulthood. Like many women, my feet changed size when I went through pregnancy… from a 6.5–7 to a 7.5–8. My feet also used to be narrow, but now are average because I’m overweight.

For nostalgic purposes, I have saved the spike heeled sandals that I couldn’t believe my mother let me get for 8th grade graduation; and a pair if high heeled clogs that I loved when I was in the 10th grade.

i have too many shoes….my favorite are jordans

peedub's avatar

Nice 90’s kid- Got any Jordan 1’s?

aprilsimnel's avatar

OK, yes, I am a Shoe Diva. Well, a trainers diva, anyway (I only wear vintage Adidas and Pumas). As for other kinds of shoes, I’ll be damned if I get a cheaply-made pair. Shoes need to last me, I’m not made of money. Expensive shoes /= well-made, either. I have a limited number of non-trainer shoes and boots because I’m so picky. I’m willing to pay for a good pair of shoes because they are a bargain when pro-rated of their wearing life.

lacyfierce's avatar

I love shoes I like to shop and buy all expensive different kinds of shoes. I have a shoe addiction.
