1. What size shoe do you wear? I can wear a 7 1/2 to an 8.

2. How many pairs of shoes do you own? 11

3. What type of shoe do you prefer (boots, sneakers, pumps, etc.)? I don't wear heals- I wear them less than once a year. Basically never (I only own 1 pair, and it only matches one dress- the last time I wore it was back in '98). I usually like to wear sneakers (I have 3 pairs) and sandles (5 pairs). I have 2 pairs of boots- a groovy black pair from Hot Topic, and then some Gortex hiker boots.

4. Describe your favorite pair of shoes. Why are they your favorite? I don't really have a favorite pair. I just enjoy comfort and convenience of shoes that are easy to put on and take off. That's part of why I like sandles so much. That, and I can air my feet, and show off my toe nails if they're painted.

5. What's the most you've spent on one pair of shoes? I am pretty cheap when it comes to clothes (lets just say I appreciate the value of a dollar). But I did spend over $80 on my Gortex hiker boots. I needed them for when I went to school at Humboldt. It rains like crazy there, and I pretty much had to hike all over the damn place there (forest, the hill to the dorms, up to Founder's Hall classrooms, etc..). The shoes were well worth the money, too. They're in great condition after 6 years of use!
