    21 Stages Of Having A Shoe Addiction

    If the shoe fits (and it better).

    1. It started innocently enough with that solitary pair.

    2. But soon you had to have more and more.

    3. Then the addiction takes hold.

    4. Excitement hits you when you're around them.

    5. You're basically on a first-name basis with the staff in the shoe department.

    6. And when it comes to the perfect pair, price is no object.

    7. You even debated between paying the rent or hitting up that sale at Saks.

    8. And then that one time you went completely overboard.

    9. You hoard all the ones you can get your hands on.

    10. And you have so many don't even know what to do with them.

    11. A wave of panic usually rushes over you when you can't decide which pair to wear.

    12. Seriously, decisions like this are hard to make.

    13. And your friends tell you that you have way too many pairs.

    14. They might have even tried to stage an intervention.

    15. Because everyone knows the effect they have on you is hypnotizing.

    16. And the need for more drives you nuts at times.

    17. Because when you find the perfect shoe it's all worth it.

    18. Cause boots were made for walking.

    19. And having a few pairs couldn't hurt.

    20. Besides, there are way worse things you could be addicted to.

    21. So embrace it. There's no shame in admitting that shoes are the key to your heart.
