SHOW US YOUR SHOES PARTY!!!!


I am excited about this post...probably because I know that NO ONE else could possibly have the same gym shoe obsession that I have!!!!! Ha Ha! I am a P.E. Teacher...so I know that plays a SMALL :) part of it. I wear tennis shoes like others wear adorable pumps or other nice shoes to work in every day...so that is my excuse :)

However...the downfall is that I almost NEVER buy "normal" shoes...so when it comes time to go somewhere nice...I usually have to call up one of my sisters to help me out :) Thank GOD for sisters!!!!

So lets start the shoe tour...

First picture is just a shot of my MANY tennis shoes. This bottom of this closet is ONLY for my gym shoes (which are all stored in the guest bedroom closet downstairs). We live in a very old house...and very old houses = NO CLOSET SPACE...so we had to add on some closets in the guest bedroom. This is why all MY shoes are stored with my hubby's sweaters :)
I had to take some of the stacks out and place them in front so we could see them :) Can you say OUT of control???
There is literally a RAINBOW of colors...hardest color to find YELLOW and MAROON!! Believe me...I've done the legwork! ha ha
As you can see I prefer Nike Shox...but also have Nike Air Max (for my Nike +!!!!!) and one pair of New Balance!!
These are my Valentine's Day shoes from hubby. Hard to see, but the silver has little mini white hearts!
These are my favorites!!!!!!!! I wear them almost every day right now. They are my Nike + running shoes...along with the orange ones right in front of them...but they are broken in perfectly and that is why they are so beat up...they have a lot of mileage :)
These are my MEN's nike shox because they don't make any women's Shox in MAROON. We live near SIU Carbondale and their colors are maroon and white...so I was sick of wearing red shoes to the sporting events...so we broke down and got MAROON ones...these were my Xmas present from hubby :)
Now...I don't ONLY own tennis shoes...so I added a few favorites. My new Uggs that hubby picked out for Xmas. L.O.V.E them!!!!!! So comfy and worn all around the house and Grocery Shopping! My fav!
These are brand new for my birthday...They are cute slip on wedge flip flops from Victoria's Secret! I can't wait for it to get a BIT warmer and I can bust them out!!!!
And finally my SAVIOR...my black boots which I have worn ALL. WINTER. LONG!!! I wear them with leggings, skinny jeans, regular jeans...I have put some serious mileage in on these shoes too...just not RUNNING miles :)

I hope you enjoyed my shoe post...please take the time to show us your shoes...and thank you to The Stories from A to Z for the idea!!!

  4. Holy Sneakermoly! Your closet looks like a show store! I am terrible when it comes to picking out sneakers and I own ONE pair. Yes. ONE. I guess that tells you a bit about my exercise routine....that it sucks and is close to being nonexistant. Your collection is impressive. Thanks for linking up! (Oh and the V-day cuties are so sweet. What a thoughtful and loving hubby!)

  7. Okay, I'm getting my teaching degree. I've already have the PE degree...how else could I justify that many shoes?
    OMG, I seriously think your post may lead to a major life overhaul.

    Tell me you don't have to teach aerobics, b/c then I'm sunk (two left feet!)

  16. Holy crud. You have more Nikes than I have pairs of shoes TOTAL. I am a non-girl when it comes to shoes. Which is why I cry my sister lives so FAR away. She's a cute shoe-aholic!

    It was fun to peek inside your closet! =)

  20. OMGosh at the tennis shoes. I have one pair, and I am needing a new pair because I am GOING to get into shape one day. Love your new pair of summer sandals. Thanks for sharing. Became a follower.

  21. Wow. Just Wow. I *thought* that I had a lot of tennis shoes (in college) but you just blew me out of the water. So impressed! And, i am so happy they are all Nike! I am a Nike snob (we were sponsored by Nike in college, and got free shoes all the time. It ruled) You totally are the best dressed/shoed PE teacher EVER!
