The End.

And now for an explaination: I used to be a two pairs of shoes person. I only ever had two pairs of shoes ever. For a while my foot size peaked at 8.5 (by the standards of whatever country I bought them in) but as it turns out I'm only a 7.5 so I had that one pair of addidas sneakers, and I loved them, and then I bought another pair and when those pairs began to hurt my feet because they were old and all of the support was gone and whatnot I began buying new shoes and none of them I really liked and over the years I've collected seventeen different types of footwear and it amazes me... I mean how many kids have tap shoes, and pimp shoes and dyke boots...
