Shoe question

Anonymous

How much of a fashion crime is it to own a pair of shoes in several colors? I'm just wondering because my fussy feet are making it to where I can't find many comfortable, stylish options. I have one particular shoe that I love so much (both for style and comfort) that I now own it in 3 colors. They get worn a lot, so it's not like I'm just wearing one color most of the time and letting the other 2 pairs sit in the closet.

No crime in my book. My feet are bossy too, and I listen to them!

No shame in this, IMO. I have duplicates of a few shoes. I don't think anyone notices that they are same shoe, they are more apt to notice the color. I have all these (and more) in two colors each.

With fussy feet there are fewer choices. But more importantly when you find something that you love and that works for your problems, why not? Saves lots of time and trouble searching, and money if something else turns out to not work after a few wearings (this has happened to me) and most shoes look different in different colors.

Not a crime If I find a shoe that fits in multiple colors that I like, I duplicate. When you have fussy feet, it's a challenge to find one pair that fits and that looks fashionable.

I think Angie has Okala pumps in 2 or 3 colors so our fashion guru definitely does not think it is a crime

With a size 10.5 N or 11 N foot, if any shoe that comes in my size also comes in multiple colors, I jump on it! And since I go for Ferragamos or Stuart Weitzmans, that isn't cheap. But worth it. I also love Oste by Amalfi, a refined loafer with a chain detail on the vamp. ( it's been around for years but still .looks current, to my eye.) comfortable shoes that fit and fit your aesthetic are too hard to find, so I say duplicate all you want!

I duplicate, usually waiting for a sale for the colours other than the original.
Mostly sandals and sneaks.

Definitely duplicate, including colors ! Though I try to make myself look farther afield and try new brands and styles, and order online--which is where I've gotten some of my best shoes, but often only after trying 2-3 sizes, which is such a pain.
I'm feeling stymied right now because I want to duplicate a Halogen shoe that became a workhorse, but it's sold out in the other color.

I haven't duplicated yet, but I would in a heart beat.

Thanks, everyone! I feel much better. You're right that people aren't probably paying much attention to my shoes anyway.

I'm a big duplicator, both in clothes and shoes. In different colors and patterns, I have 2 VC tube skirts, 5 JCP seamed pencil skirts, 2 Gap Skimmers, 3 Bass Sharon sandals, 3 Keds sneakers, 2 Converse wedges...excuse me, there's a knock at the door...why is that police car out front?? Oh no, it's the fashion police!
