    One pair of work boots
    One pair of smart shoes
    One pair of Airwalk trainers
    One pair of battered old Vans that I use when I don't want the others to get ruined

    What's this office argument about?

    (apart from shoes, obviously)

    I have about 10 pairs of shoes of different styles, 6 pairs of trainers that are soley used for "sporting activities" and 4 pairs of trainers that are for general use and sometimes clubbing

    Add to this 3 pairs of football boots, 2 sets of roller-blades and I "think" 2 sets of flip-flops for beach football and thats most of my footwear covered

    what is it about women and shoes? they're not content with a few decent pairs to wear out at night so they have to have one for every day of the month...
