  1. 1. I wear slip on sneakers in a variety of colors.
    2. I wear shoes in my home because of my neuropathy. I alternate between slippers and sneakers.
    3. I have so many shoes that I rarely replace them. I add on. I don't know when I became that person. When I find a comfortable shoe in my size I get them in different colors. Nothing expensive.
    4. I used to. We camped a lot during our fifty years, but I can't hike anymore due to health issues. I also can't lace up shoes anymore. Getting old sucks!
    5. I have a couple pairs of dressy shoes for weddings and such. I feel like Godzilla trying to look like Cinderella and failing miserably. It be what it be.

  2. Describe the shoes you wear most days? Mostly Brogues, Oxfords and Cheslea boots during the week, at night and weekends, a huge color selection of All Stars chuck sneakers. But don't think I still good rid of any of the 5in Sellittos either.

    Do you wear shoes in your home? NOPE ...Always barefoot or in open slippers. It's actually not healthy to have your feet covered all day and night a doctor once told me. Your feet need to have air at some point.

    How often do you replace your shoes? Not much. No one shoe gets worn down enough as I have some many. And buy quality, not quantity.

    Do you have "hiking" boots? Nope.

    Do you have shoes for special occasions? Yes, one pair of glimmer smoking shoes...New Year Eve...and a patent leather tuxedo shoe.

  3. 1: Describe the shoes you wear most days? Comfortable, wide fitting and made by Clarks.
    2: Do you wear shoes in your home? Sometimes yes... especially if I have forgotten to change into my slippers.
    3: How often do you replace your shoes? Maybe once every two years. I tend to have two pairs of shoes on the go at the same time.
    4: Do you have "hiking" boots? Yes I do but when they are worn they become gardening boots.
    5: Do you have shoes for special occasions? Not really though I think there are some old black former teaching shoes in my wardrobe.

  4. 1. Only one pair, Sketchers slip ons.

    4. Hiking? Really!
    5. I have a pair of black leather wedding and funeral shoes, mostly funerals nowadays.
