Put them on in the house, walk around in them, admire them from all angles, smell them, caress them.

New shoes are one of life’s greatest joys.

Smell them.

Tell someone that they bought new shoes and show them off.

step in dog doo doo.

roxsolid, I feel that way about purses. :) To me, shoes are just a necessity.

I get you, murraysmom. I think we all have these fetishes. I love practical shoes. Shoes that last for years, and are comfortable.

My husband has a thing for maps. His desk is full of roadmaps. He’s never thrown one away. He’ll buy a map whenever he can.

roxsolid, I think I would like your husband very much. I vaguely remember saying as much about him before. I, too, like maps and even though it is nice to have Siri get me from Point A to Point B, I like to see the big picture as well.

Pay for them! :)

Save the box because its just so sturdy and surely you can store something in it.

I get my best shoe recommendations by admiring other's shoes.

Yes tsug! Like roadmaps.
