Shoe habits – do you keep shoes at work?

DSC02117.jpg
Nicola Pedley asks…

I have a question for you. Do you wear trainers or flats to work and then change when you get there? If so, how many pairs of shoes do you keep at work? When I left my last job I took home five pairs of shoes. Five pairs! There were my beautiful pussy cat pair from Aldo (they were black with pink inside and a gorgeous little pussy cat on the toe), a plain black pair, a cream pair (which I never wore, but absolutely loved), a brown pair and a black pair of boots – a pair for every possible occasion and outfit. So this is just a quick, unofficial Shoewawa poll – how many pairs of shoes have you got at work?

Nicola writes for Shoewawa, The Bag Lady and Trashionista and still isn’t sure how she got so many pairs of shoes in one small drawer

At the moment I only have two pairs of shoes and a pair of wellies. This is because 'desk tidy Friday' means I have to keep taking them home...!

I have a big locker at work, which is supposed to be full of documents and the like but is actually full of shoes. I have about 8 pairs here all the time, mostly shoes that I never wear anywhere but work, but will bring others in on a day to day basis if the outfit warrants it.

Gees, I've been working there for not long and already have 2 pairs of shoes.
This is going to be hard to organise...

Because I ride a motorbike to work each day I keep three pairs of shoes, one black, one brown and one pair of black sandles for the warm days. They took up most of my document draw..

Looks like Elaine's the winner. Ladies, we all need to buy large lockers!

I cleaned out my drawer before I went on holiday, I've been back 2 weeks and there are already 4 pairs in there. Brown heels (bought on holiday ;), black heels, black ballet flats and a pair of flip flops for the unexpected heatwave.

Just counted: 4 pairs under my desk (including the heels I wear when I have an important meeting) and 3 more pairs in my locker. They rather add up after awhile, don't they! Maggie

I don't keep any shoes at work because I just might need *that* particular pair (or pairs), so instead, I keep them in the back of my car and I *believe* there are currently 3 pairs there...

I manage a shoe shop and keep all my 'work' flats there which totals 5 pairs(BCBG Max Azria Celena, Cleuse and Turri, plus BCBGirls Illaria, and Steve Madden Kismet) plus Steve Madden Lezlie in Zebra and Betsey Johnson Jordan, just in case!Am I the only person who knows all their shoes by name?
