What: Size 8 t-strap pumps with 2.5 inch heelsFrom: Naturalizer (outlet)
Purchased: mid 90s, '96 or '97
Cost: can't remember, but those clearance racks at Naturalizer outlet have been very, very good to me over the years, so I will make an educated guess at $18
Oh I have had and loved these shoes a long time. I just like the old fashioned look to them. My favorite outfit to wear with them is a teal suit, with a long slim skirt and color blocked jacket. I also wore them to Elizabeth's baptism with a black sweater set and black patterned skirt.
Sadly, they have become quite worn, and the heel on one has come completely off.
So they'd need some repair. But they are really comfortable. But, in a fashion sense, nude hose have really become a fashion don't over the past few years, and you really have to wear hose with these. And they are quite worn. But I can't give them up just yet.Bottom line: repair pile
*edited to add: discarded, because I later bought a new pair of t-straps as a replacement. Farewell, old friends!

Um. Hmmm. Just make sure you actually take them to the repair shop.
Have you thought about taking several hours one day and setting out all your shoes by "category/type/purpose/color/heel/just make you smile" to help you cull them ? I get that you want to keep a lot, totally. It's your thing. Definitely fine. But I can't help but notice that there are several pairs that have an emotional attachment that, in some ways, at least to me, serve the exact same purpose as another pair of shoes.
Just think about it - you wouldn't have to actually get rid of any, in fact, it just might help you organize them.
BTW, I would LOVE to help you do this. LOVE. And I would not even give you a hard time.
