I don't go in for that "Price Is Right" closest-but-not-over crap, which is why I said "closest" in the first place. :p In fact, I have 65 pairs of shoes (including winter boots, workout shoes, and flip flops).

Honorable mentions go to heyfoureyes (60), kaygigi (70), and tomthedog (71).

Funnily, wrdnrd's thought process closely ( Read more... )
