I agree with that statement, but I also don’t know how to define where the line is where consumption turns into overconsumption. Any ideas?

People buying every shoe color in order to match all the time? I don't mean like 3-6 pairs.

Wait people need more than 6 pairs???

I'm god damn shoe obsessed and I don't have that many. I got:

-Sports shoes

-Work shoes (thick, leather, sturdy)

-Fancy boots (black)

-Fancy boots (white)

The only boots I ever got purely to match was the two pairs of black and white fancy boots. Which is more than enough to be complimentary to any wardrobe depending on if I use brighter or darker colors. What more could you need? Two pairs of sports shoes? Two pairs of work shoes if you wanna be extra? But even that only brings you up to 6 and I can't fathom needing more.

Like I consider myself a shoe obsessed woman. I pride myself in my silly little stompers yet I can't imagine owning more then 6 at a time. Unless you count during my lifetime because yeah boots got replaced as old ones wore out. I needed to replace the white ones as they literally fell apart, went through several rounds of work and sports shoes too.

I've seen men and women have boxes of shoes filling their small closet. It's a weird thing to see and then explaining is no different. Everybody has their drug, if you know what I mean.
