I have a pair of silver stretch GO GO BOOTS - ankle high - from the 60's that I will NEVER get rid of.

I don't have any of those. When I reached the age of 70, I threw away all the shoes that hurt my feet. I really don't care whether I'm fashionable or not! As long as I look nice and I'm comfortable, I'm a happy old lady! That's one of the few perks of getting old.

I have a pair of slippers that my husband gave me one Christmas, that I love. They are a little small and are about to come unstitched, but I love them. That was about 34 years ago.

I had this pair that was so pretty. White patten leather with a little eyelet detail and a spiked heel. They made my feet look small and danity. I always told my kids I wanted to be buried with them so when I got to heaven, I would have pretty shoes to wear.

Yep, my bowling shoes. I haven't bowled in about 15 years. I don't know why I keep those shoes but for some reason I just can't let them go.

I have a pair of hiking boots from the 80's complete with pink shoe strings. I keep telling DH that I'm going to turn them into a planter but I still haven't.

mine were a beautiful deep burgundy/red color. Heels no less! Just loved them! Finally gave them up after about 5 years of no longer fitting.
