That is you have advised. Voluntary declaration of number [shoes] can help even if the picture is not. Anyway, I have 4 pair of shoes [declaration to your readers], leaving aside the bathroom sleeper & the sandak. Out of them three are sneakers, used respectively for badminton, walking, & woodland trekking. The remaining one is a oxford nosed hush puppy, usually hushed in the cubbyhole. Once in a blue moon I take it out for interviews with my prospective employers. After 2003, I did not wear any shoe whatsoever, since my lovely hunting boot was stolen from the pushkar lake. Started just this year. Kind of trimming up for the world I was not facing for long. By the way, really nice one to stop and comment. I have seen men being shoe and sock loving since I lived in flocks for more than ten years now and still counting. If wagging tail can entail me of the pleasures of my prenuptial life during the postnuptial one then I would jump to it, but it's idyllic to ponder! :( This entry came very close to be put in caferati - flash [fiction? or experience?]. 572 words only. Which anyway you could have pruned to fit the limit of 500. I sincerely pray that they will start a NRI section soon. Your feminine take, simply rule, if not overrule the idea that we live in a right authoritarian patriachal society! godspeed! Well, you have done what you resisted on the take on picture taking.

Argh. may be because men don't give up on old shoes and try to preserve them even if they don't use them. Good read. :) I just realized after reading this post that I have more shoes than my wife.

Men have more socks than women have knee-highs or tights, because men can rarely wear open-toed shoes after summer. Men definitely have more handkerchieves and belts. They also have more ties and often women have none. They have more cufflinks (and not all can be shared by their girlfriends or wives or sisters although some can be).

Brown shoes? if there's black anyway, I would have just one brown shoes at the most. Sneakers? Two or three at the most, if I am extremely physically active. And maybe a separate football boots. Thats it. :-) But still, it was hilarious to read about such a man!
