Shoes

I know that many women love to own 1,000,000 pairs of shoes.

I don't belong to that category.

But . . . 8 to 10 pairs is okay, right? Two pairs of boots, two pairs of sneakers (the old ones to mow the lawn, the new pair to walk or jog), black sandals, white sandals, black high heels, dark blue high heels, flat black shoes and flip flops. That's enough?!!!

But imagine you're in Munich, Germany. And you want to replace your black high heels. Because they're old and you can't really walk in them anymore. No problem, you think. There are only about 3,000 shoe stores in this huge city.

Problem: the fashion is shoes that are pointy. Shoes that are four inches longer than your foot! Shoes where you trip and fall at every step.

Pointy sneakers! Sneakers with high heels! HELLO!!!!

Unless you want to buy "Grandma's" shoes, you're stuck with the above. No normal shoes in sight.

I guess the old (four years) shoes will have to do until my next visit to the States. Or I'll have to wait for the next - rational - fashion trend!
