Shoes-Day: shoe retirement

I’ve decided to get a new gym membership.  I ended mine last year when I was pregnant since I wanted to mostly do prenatal yoga at my parenting studio and easy cardio at my apartment gym.  Now I’m realizing I miss the rigor and structure of classes.  So I’m going back, my friends! 

And what’s better is that Zach is going to get home early (like 530p) one day a week so I can make it to an evening Spin class.  Score!

Other than that, this Tuesday isn’t all the exciting.

However, I did manage to clean out my shoe closet this weekend.  Sadly all these shoes are going into “retirement”:

Some I never wear (like the striped wedges in the back), some are just dying ( the Enzo boots in the way back, the ruffle Madden girls are ripping) and some heels have just had enough:

See that?  The screw is exposed.  It’s unbelievably annoying to listen to as you walk down a hall.  Now I realize I could go to a shoe cobbler and fix this, but the likelihood of me doing so is pretty slim. 

I wasn’t completely prepared to toss them, but my bestie said that that’s what she does when her heels “die.”  I figured if I got a few good years out of the shoe, then it was time to let go. 

(The shoes that were still in great shape are off to Goodwill)

I decided to take a picture of those that I’m getting rid of so that I don’t have a heart attack looking for them some day, not realizing I tossed them.  That and to remember which shoes I need to replenish.  Like the staple nude shoe.  I’m pretty sad to toss these, but the heel is shattered so go, they must.

Do you actually fix your shoes/heels or toss them?

What’s a staple shoe for you?  I have to say a nude heel and perhaps a grey sandal based on the frequency I wear both.
