Above average

I am not above average in many things...................in fact I am pretty average at most things..........however I am more than happy to accept being above average for the number of pairs of shoes that I own.................well into 3 digit numbers!

SOLE devotion and the perennial appeal of a new pair of shoes is seeing women hoard heels, thongs, sandals and stilettos in their wardrobe.

 

A survey of more than 1000 women by retailer Target has revealed that Australian women own an average 25 pairs of shoes.
And they are also not bothered about trying before they buy - six in 10 women said they shopped for shoes online.

More than half those polled admitted to owning a pair of shoes they had never been worn.

Target's business manager for footwear, Don Murphy, said heels were the most popular shoe.

Women reported they owned at least six pairs, he said.

"As you might expect, we've discovered that 18-29 year-olds on average wear a 7cm sized heel."

Model Amelia Schubert, from Giant Management, has about 30 pairs of shoes.

"Shoes have the power to change your entire look. You can buy a new shoe and it can instantly change an old outfit," she said.

Forget the glass slippers

Thanks Stu :)

Long time no write! That could be because the running hasn't been happening as planned..................anyway this morning's run along the Bay was windless and not wet...............yay! But it was about 15kms........................the usual aches and hurts (during and post!) that some yoga poses helped alleviate.
