  What fantastic organization things they are, Lorraine. I don’t have near the collection you do, but confess some of the ones I do have are purely there because they’re beautiful, like works of art. I never wear them. I’m so excited I can enter your giveaways now that I have an Aussie address.

  As soon as I saw them in the magazine I had to have them. I phoned cosmopolitan shoes and had them send them up ASAP and I have loved them since. Sonya Rykiel animal print with a metallic flower. They are a few years old now but were so different they were never IN style therefore never really out of style. They always get a reaction when I wear them and make my legs look great…..I think I might go into my closet and sit with them for a while now.

  Haha! My lovely boots for riding my scooter to work

• 4. Kelly | February 26th, 2011 at 8:08 am | #

  My not your normal wedding shoes – silver jewelled numbers that I saw and new would be perfect at first glance!!!

• 5. EHA | February 26th, 2011 at 9:19 am | #

  Yes, I adore shoes too, but 140 pairs!! Eenie – meenie etc in the mornngs?

• 6. sra | February 26th, 2011 at 9:23 am | #

  Whilst rummaging around a secondhand store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, I happened upon these amazing shoes: sky high, almond-toed, deliciously red ombre patent-leather pumps. They fit like a dream, were made in Italy and are still in beautiful condition. Oh, and they were $15.

  As for why they are my favourite? See above please!

• 7. Penny Geddes | February 26th, 2011 at 9:40 am | #

  My well-worn Birkenstocks because they love ME back!

• 8. Lucy @ Lucyeats | February 26th, 2011 at 10:05 am | #

  140 pairs?! I have about 30 and I’m struggling to find places to store them. Do you have a little house for your shoes?

• 9. Carli | February 26th, 2011 at 10:08 am | #

  My over-the-jeans boots that I wear almost every day in winter. They’re brown with buttons, and a bit of a vintage vibe, and they make me feel almost stylish enough to live in Surry Hills!

• 10. jenny | February 26th, 2011 at 10:08 am | #

  My favorite are a low heeled – necessary due to a back injury – bright patented red full shoes. I always feel special when I have them on, like Dorothy.

• 11. MaidInAustralia | February 26th, 2011 at 10:19 am | #

  Oh my, what a lovely prize. My favourite shoes to wear are probably my Fit Flops. They might not look flash, but they are so very comfortable. Supposedly, they also tone my butt and thigh muscles as I walk, but if that’s the case it’s an added bonus. (And they certainly have their work cut out for them).
  My other faves are a pair of seude boots I got for the markdown price of NZ$20. They are the most comfortable boots I’ve ever worn, and the cheapest also!

• 12. Anne Common | February 26th, 2011 at 10:31 am | #

  My favourite shoes are a pair of Colorado wood/leather platforms.
  THey are a dressy blue leather yet can look just as good on a night out as they can for a picnic at the beach.Soo Comfortable too.

• 13. Samantha | February 26th, 2011 at 10:35 am | #

  My favourite pair of shoes are the leather boots I bought at the markets in Florence. I started wearing them as soon as i got them and I wore them for the rest of my honeymoon in Europe. They take me back to Europe everytime I put them on

  I’m an avid collector of old shoes that have great sentimental values to me.

  My little ballet shoes – Thanks to mum, I still have them to this day. They remind me of the good old days as a nine year old, putting on the shoes after school for my weekly ballet lessons. I love the passion and invigorating feeling bouncing around the hall on my dancing shoes wearing my tutus. My sweet affair with ballet was cut short prematurely however when Dad lost his job in the late 80s (due to global financial crisis) as he couldn’t afford the expensive ballet lessons anymore. Those shoes came with so much heart, sweat and tears. I still have them to this day to remind me of those unfulfilled dreams.

  There are other shoes that are dear to me, like the lovely golden sandals that belonged to Grandma. It’s like a family heirloom and comes with a unique piece of jade shaped like a phoenix. There is so much tradition and history (Grandma wore them on her wedding day). They don’t quite fit my feet but I love them just as much for the sentimental values.

  It’d be great to win the Benjibox shoe boxes. My shoe collection will take pride of place in my home museum for my viewing pleasure. I guess I’m a cross between Carrie Bradshaw and Charlotte York in a way

• 15. milkteaxx | February 26th, 2011 at 10:37 am | #

  wahhhhh 140 pais of shoes! i just bought 15 pairs of shoes from an overseas trip and im running out of room alreadY!
  my favourite pair of shoes would be my grey lace up ankle boots with a fold down checkered pattern inside. they are so comfy for something that gives me an extra 9cm and it was cheap!! <3

• 16. jl | February 26th, 2011 at 10:43 am | #

  It will have to be my very first Ferragamo shoes-which I still have- as I saved so hard for it when I first started working years ago.

• 17. Cheryl | February 26th, 2011 at 11:03 am | #

  Wow! 140 pairs of shoes! Move over Imelda!
  I have a vast collection of flats, as this is all my feet will accept, as I have bunions and a hammertoe that is crossed for good luck.
  My favourite shoes are my old Brooks, extra wide walking shoes, nothing fancy, just sheer comfort, so the dogs and i can go on our treks.

• 18. MissJane | February 26th, 2011 at 11:32 am | #

  Most of my shoes I love. However I have a pair of boots I bought 18 months ago. Full price I couldn’t justify because of lots of other footwear. But on sale, easy. A gorgeous mocha brown, stunning when worn with dresses or with jeans tucked in our out. Very comfy too.

• 19. Shirley@kokken69 | February 26th, 2011 at 11:34 am | #

  I have almost as close a collection as you and likewise, I find myself wearing the same few pairs most of the time. These boxes are lovely for organization but unfortunately, I won’t have the space to stack them up….

• 20. EHA | February 26th, 2011 at 11:56 am | #

  Oh goodness – I did not dare be honest earlier, as my first choice would take a prize in any contest for the plainest and least fashionable! But, Lorraine, you have an admirably honest following, so – I bought a pair of black knitted flatties with rubbery soles from ‘Innovations’ some six years ago for about $60! I would not know I have them on, they grip onto any surface, uneven included and, since I live in slacks, are barely noticeable. Six years of everyday wear – can’t complain!!

• 21. Anna | February 26th, 2011 at 12:02 pm | #

  So many shoes….only two feet….Sad!!
  Question: how can a comfy flat sandal be dangerously Rock ‘n’ Roll?
  Well, Barbara Bui had the answer when she designed my current favourites….black leather with silver buckles, and silver rings around the chunky ankle strap – when I wear them I feel like I really mean business!

• 22. Stephanie De Santis | February 26th, 2011 at 12:08 pm | #

  My favourite pair of shoes are fabric red and white polka dot 8 inch mary janes I purchased in New Zealand. every time I wear them people comment favourably. They are so cute and even though I can normally only stand to wear them for two hours their feminity and ageless quality wins out everytime.

• 23. Stephanie De Santis | February 26th, 2011 at 12:12 pm | #

  My favourite pair would be the red and white polka dot 8 inch mary janes I bought in New Zealand about 6 years ago. Their timeless beauty are a hit every time I wear them. And even though they cause me untold amounts of pain, I persist through as they make me feel feminine and beautiful. Silly perhaps…but I love them.

• 24. Lulu | February 26th, 2011 at 12:19 pm | #

  Oh – let me tell you about my current favourite shoe (note the singular!) – its an ‘air-cast’ boot: its massive and grey and covered in buckles and velcro, and you can pump air into it! Stylish it is not (unless you’re into that kind of thing, *wink*), but it means i will be able to run again (eventually) and it gets me seats on buses.
  (by the way, i don’t actually want the benji boxes, as i keep my shoes in their original boxes, but just thought i’d add my two cents worth anyway) xx

• 25. Nomsie | February 26th, 2011 at 12:40 pm | #

  They are such a great idea for us storage poor people of the world…my favourite shoes would have to be my “wonder woman” boots, they are gorgeous red boots, not quite knee high, more like mid calf length…they go well with all my vintage outfits

• 26. Hannah | February 26th, 2011 at 1:03 pm | #

  My favourite pair are the heels I bought at Harvard in America, which I think I’ve posted on my blog. They have wooden heels andcover almost the entire foot with green fabric, and tie at the back. They make me feel fabulous when I wear them

  And I am so, so envious of your 140 pairs…

• 27. Stefania | February 26th, 2011 at 1:22 pm | #

  Whilst planning our trip to the US a few years I go jokingly referred to the trip as my Jimmy Choo shopping trip – so in NYC I fell in love (seriously) with this pair http://christianlouboutinnyc.com/jimmy-choo-black-satin-patience-jeweled-slingback-pumps-p-674.html and just had to buy them so I did with my hubby’s encouragement and support! Can I just say I love shoes have a lovely collection but these take pride of place and unfortunately due to the extensive shopping was unable to bring home it’s original ‘home’ – needs somewhere special to rest in between the making me feel ‘pretty’ nights!! PS: The price quoted on this website is cough cough considerably less than what I paid – but I don’t care I love them! Lol

• 28. Jennifer Swift | February 26th, 2011 at 2:42 pm | #

  My absolute favourite pair of shoes at the moment is my New Balance Toning Shoes as they give my legs a great work-out and lovely toned appearance so that they look fab in any of my gorgeous collection of flattering boots and daring stilettos!

• 29. Mary Preston | February 26th, 2011 at 2:48 pm | #

  I have a pair of boots with killer heels that make me feel like a million dollars. I wear them at every opportunity.

• 30. Maree | February 26th, 2011 at 4:09 pm | #

  I have about the same at last count but my favourite were purchased 10yrs ago overseas.They are a tan colour that have the perfect enclosed point that go with everything.. But mostly I love them because they my legs look much slimmer and toned than they actually are!

• 31. Rachel | February 26th, 2011 at 5:29 pm | #

  A pair of leather boots I bought brand new at a garage sale. They had a $10 sticker on the bottom. I asked if they were really only $10. The lady said “NO! NO! NO!,they are worth $600 someone must have swapped the prices” (i don’t know if she was implying I had, I definitely hadn’t). She must of seen the look of disappointment on my face, so she kindly said if they fit me I could have them for $10.These boots were going to fit me no matter what(a bit like a cinderella story), I had fallen in love with them and even more knowing they were so pricey! They now have pride of place in my wardrobe are a little big but I just wear thick socks!!!!

• 32. Ophelia | February 26th, 2011 at 5:54 pm | #

  My favourite shoes are… the $1500 pair I just bought in Sydney. They are the Carrie Bradshaw shoes. And I mean THE Carrie Bradshaw shoes. The Manolo Blahnik blue high heels she christens her new wardrobe with in the movie. THOSE shoes. I now own a pair. They will be loved forever.

• 33. Ellie@fitforthesoul | February 26th, 2011 at 5:57 pm | #

  Wow! haha…140~that’s unheard of! Aside from you. Hmm I don’t really have fancy/brand name shoes, but my favorite is the pair of mid-heel booties with elastic ‘faux’ straps that criss-cross. It’s hard to explain! It’s from Korea I believe. Thanks Lorraine!

• 34. rachel | February 26th, 2011 at 6:15 pm | #

  so hard to choose! current favourites are new cream espadrilles with ankle ties – love them with a summery dress or cute shorts! my shoe count has passed 100 pairs..hopefully it dosent grow too much more cuz finding a home for them is becoming a problem

• 35. Mrs Bok | February 26th, 2011 at 6:30 pm | #

  I LOVE your boots!
  And the storage idea too of course…

• 36. Joanne Burke | February 26th, 2011 at 6:56 pm | #

  Mu spotty high heels, they are black and white and so cute to wear

• 37. jess | February 26th, 2011 at 7:54 pm | #

  My fav pair of shoes are these lovely Siren wedges I picked up a week ago. I’ve been on the hunt for a pair of wearable wedge heels for ages and these are perfect (waiting for the right shoes to come along do pay off). The shoes are leather, the heel isn’t too high and the wedge of the shoe isn’t one of the usual chunky ones you find but slim and stylish. Since wearing them, I just can’t stop raving about them

• 38. Judy | February 26th, 2011 at 8:07 pm | #

  this may be an odd choice, but my fav shoes are my havaiana thongs – so comfy and come in all the colours of the rainbow. i probably wear them the most.

• 39. Paula | February 26th, 2011 at 8:21 pm | #

  LOve great comfy shoes

• 40. Laura | February 26th, 2011 at 8:25 pm | #

  love this idea, and so so need it. My wardrobe needs a lot of love. Carrie would not approve.

  Love your shoe collection too Lorraine!

• 41. Judi | February 26th, 2011 at 11:21 pm | #

  My favourite shoes are a pair of black scanty slingbacks.

  My daughter was buying a pair of boots and there was a special of buy one and get the second pair for half price.

  She didn’t want another pair so she asked me if I did.

  I got them for $30 so I was rapt!

• 42. VandaB | February 26th, 2011 at 11:25 pm | #

  I have a pair of hand beaded bling shoes with silver wedge heels from Kuala Lumpur that are a talking piece.

• 43. Susan | February 26th, 2011 at 11:27 pm | #

  my favourite pair of shoes would be my runners. They have helped me stay cigarette free for 2 years now.
  In the early days when I felt like a cigarette I went for a run instead. I went from only making it a few meters to doing fun runs in a few months.

• 44. Cakelaw | February 26th, 2011 at 11:47 pm | #

  My favourite pair of shoes are a pair of red pumps – they have a T-bar strap, pointy toes, a little dainty heel and are purple underneat. What’s not to love?

• 45. desiree | February 27th, 2011 at 12:18 am | #

  my nude peep toe stilettos because they make my tiny legs look longer!

• 46. Angela@spinachtiger | February 27th, 2011 at 12:38 am | #

  I love those boxes.I still cherish a pair of glass slippers (okay they are plastic) that my aunt who passed away would wear ballroom dancing. I would put them in one of those boxes. Cheers to the lucky Australian.

• 47. Linda | February 27th, 2011 at 12:45 am | #

  I have all the shoes and boots I can use, and then some. My favorite “boots” are mukluks.They
  have silicone-soled moccasin feet
  with rabbit fur legs lined with wool and they close with fat ties of soft leather crisscrossing up the outer side. Only three crisscrosses. Stylish. Most comfortable things I have ever worn. By the by, for boot shapers, I use the pillowy packaging that comes with mail orders. Works like a charm!

• 48. shemyla | February 27th, 2011 at 1:25 am | #

  My fav and most comfy shoes are Crocs Cleo sandals. I can wear ‘em with pants, shorts, skirts, during the day, at night, out shopping, at home! Totally love ‘em

• 49. Ming | February 27th, 2011 at 1:39 am | #

  My fav pair of shoes is a $20 knee length boots bought from my local Op shops. It was my first time buying a second hand shoes from Ops shop but it was my best purchase. Everytime i wear my boots I try to imagine what the previous owner style and design and at the same time I try to style it with my own designs. Love it to bits.

• 50. pigpigscorner | February 27th, 2011 at 3:15 am | #

  Mine’s a pair of ballet pumps. So comfy…

• 51. Cooking Gallery | February 27th, 2011 at 3:21 am | #

  Look at those shoes…! I am just like you, I have many pairs of shoes, but I normally always wear the same pair everyday – how boring…!!

• 52. Heather Dinsdale | February 27th, 2011 at 8:22 am | #

  My favorite pair would be grey suede booties with a wooden heel – the most expensive pair I’ve ever bought, and not easy to walk in but make any outfit look amazing!

• 53. Margarita | February 27th, 2011 at 8:56 am | #

  What a great giveaway!! too bad I”m in Canada!

• 54. Marina Moschos | February 27th, 2011 at 9:06 am | #

  Something old Mum’s ring), something new (my necklace), something borrowed (a hanky) and something blue – Teal blue satin heels for my wedding shoes. Absolutely gorgeous and got the reaction I wanted. Whenever I wear them I get all sorts of comments. By far my favourite pair of shoes.

• 55. Kelley | February 27th, 2011 at 9:59 am | #

  That is like picking a favourite child… HOW on earth can I do it?

  How about the only ‘shoe’ in my closet that I despise? That damn Roboboot sits there and mocks me every damn day.

• 56. Marie Pohnetalova | February 27th, 2011 at 10:53 am | #

  my pair of Jimmy Choo – they’re just like my boyfriend – stylish, supportive, comfortable, reliable and good for walking all over on!

• 57. roberto colombi | February 27th, 2011 at 10:54 am | #

  My sports shoes – the incentive to keep me ‘Fit and Sporty’ not Fat and Forty’!

• 58. AR | February 27th, 2011 at 1:21 pm | #

  My fav shoes is a pair of navy blue suede flat. So comfy even for driving!!!

• 59. kate james | February 27th, 2011 at 2:24 pm | #

  I LOVE shoes but unfortunately have to wear dull boring NURSE shoes every day. YUK.yuk yuk

• 60. Liz | February 27th, 2011 at 2:33 pm | #

  Probably a pair of Chanel-esque cream quilted flats with a black patent cap. I definitely couldn’t afford the real thing but when I saw this pair of shoes in Wittner I was in love! But as a student, I couldn’t afford the $130 pair either… so I waited until they went on sale and nabbed the last pair for $40!! Beautiful shoes at a bargain price…? Definitely my fave pair

• 61. Anna | February 27th, 2011 at 2:58 pm | #

  Having already told you about my favourite Rock ‘n’ Roll sandals, I should tell you about my other most favourite shoes….the gorgeous Hermes booties that belong to my premmie teeny-tiny great-nephew Tobey, who at age 300 days is still in hospital. Can’t wait for him to come home, and when his feet finally touch the ground, can’t wait to hold his hand as he struts his stuff in the finest baby shoes in the whole wide world!

• 62. becca | February 27th, 2011 at 5:30 pm | #

  oh my Lulu Guinness black shoes with diamante on the toe. I love they way they make my legs look lovely and long and they were super cheap in a TK maxx

• 63. Rhianna | February 27th, 2011 at 8:34 pm | #

  I love all shoes from my Havianas to my Nine West and Tony Bianco numbers… At the moment I have just moved so I have two of my suitcases packed to the rim of my shoes… I’m in desperate need of a shoe wardrobe or organisation

• 64. Pia | February 28th, 2011 at 1:13 am | #

  My silver Gizeh Birkenstocks…

  Although on their last legs, they still have a special place in my wardrobe.

  These shoes have seens sights others can only dream of in New York, Hawaii, Beijing, Shanghai, X’ian, Seoul, Hong Kong, Bali, Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide.

  Their cracked cork soles and worn tread remind me of the amazing times I’ve had travelling and that my comfortable choice of footwear allowed me to walk that extra two blocks where I found a quaint secret garden, climbed the steepest steps up the Great Wall of China, discovered a local pub where I met new friends and created lifetime memories…

• 65. Faith | February 28th, 2011 at 5:22 am | #

  It’s giveaways like this that make me wish I lived in Austrlia!

• 66. RedDoll | February 28th, 2011 at 9:47 am | #

  My orange “Sandra” Fluevog’s… I bought them when I lived in Vancouver and I absolutely adore John Fluevog’s designs… He names everyone of his shoes… My Sandra’s are getting a little worn, may be time to return to Canada for a visit!

• 67. D | February 28th, 2011 at 10:23 am | #

  My black patent Gary Castles – because they haven’t gone out of fashion in over 5 years!

• 68. Megan | February 28th, 2011 at 12:27 pm | #

  My favourite are a pair of ballet flats because they are so soft and comfy. They are completely worn out and I haven’t been able to find a replacement though, I’ll be so sad when they die!

• 69. Jenny | February 28th, 2011 at 4:26 pm | #

  I have my ever faithful Dunlop Volleys as they are non-slip and I feel very safe and secure in them. I have many different styles but my faves are slip-ons, no laces, white with a beautiful green fern pattern, love ‘em so much I even wore them to a wedding!

• 70. Cathy | February 28th, 2011 at 5:05 pm | #

  My favourite pair of shoes aren’t even mine! They are black, strappy and excruciatingly high! They belong to my teenage daughter and the look of utter joy when she puts them on is worth every cent we paid for them!!

• 71. Mandy Graham | March 1st, 2011 at 12:09 pm | #

  I love my runners as they are so comfy.

• 72. RICHARD D T WILSON | March 1st, 2011 at 6:10 pm | #

• 73. carmen | March 1st, 2011 at 6:14 pm | #

  My favourite pair of shoes is a Italian leather flat black sandle with gold coins,they are so comfortable and soft.

• 74. Anna Johnston | March 2nd, 2011 at 6:56 pm | #

  OMG…. LOVE! This little invention is fantastic, I’ve seen these little boxes around the traps and I popped them onto my dream board.
  My absolute favourite pair of shoes and I don’t like to play favourites, but, they are gold stilettos with CZ stones lining the foot strap and the ankle strap, they lace up elegantly around your ankle and wearing them does that thing every gal loves to her legs. To boot they are super comfy, and just gorgeous to wear. They live on a shelf where no other shoes can touch them or damage them.

• 75. phil | March 3rd, 2011 at 1:49 pm | #

  my rm williams boots because they are comfortable and good for wearing out to dinner

• 76. Mel | March 3rd, 2011 at 2:58 pm | #

  My absolutely favourite pair of shoes are a pair I have only worn ONCE in my life!! Yep, just once (and I bet you can guess why… that’s right, because they were my wedding shoes)! I ADORE these oyster silk peep toe pumps… I felt so elegant wearing them and I didn’t even mind they made me taller than my new hubby!! Now I just need an excuse to wear them again!

• 77. kerry | March 3rd, 2011 at 8:49 pm | #

  Purchased in Verona, my love for my navy patent and multi-coloured strapped shoes, was as great as that of Romeo and Juliet. Sadly, they came to an equally tragic end. T’is true “parting is such sweet sorrow”. If only I had protected them with Benjiboxes it would have been the greatest shoe love story of all time.

• 78. Vivian | March 3rd, 2011 at 11:59 pm | #

  They seem like an ingenius idea.
  My fave shoes would be Bruno Magli boots my mum gave me ! theyre perfect for autumn and winter with dresses or jeans

• 79. Tammie | March 4th, 2011 at 8:18 pm | #

  Charles Jourdan sandals with chain decorations and see through heels that have been my favourite shoes for dressy occasions on summer evenings for almost thirty years……. looking tired now, but such a treasured special part of my life…..

• 83. Karly | March 6th, 2011 at 9:52 am | #

  I have a pair of Paris Hilton brown stiletto boots that were $299 – twice the price I normally spend on shoes. Despite the high heel they are comfortable to walk in, they look fab on, and make me a feel a little bit Paris-Hilton-sexy when I have them on.

• 84. cheryl | March 6th, 2011 at 10:30 am | #

  A pair of khaki mid length boots, I tried them on, walked around, put them down, looked at the price tag, and thought some more, scanned my credit card out the door.

• 85. Karina Anderson | March 6th, 2011 at 9:55 pm | #

  My favourite pair of shoes is a pair of shoes given to me by a kind-hearted lady;she doesn’t even know me; she gave me this pair of shoes because her daughter told her that I need a pair of shoes. And she gave me a pair of high quality shoes of hers, which she never has worn.

  My current favourite pair of shoes is my 5-inch satin white wedding shoes which I will wear on the 26th March, marrying the love of my life and my best friend. Cannot wait for the day to come

• 93. Alex Caruss | March 13th, 2011 at 9:41 am | #

  My Irregular Choice 5″ heels. They have a cat buckle on the side with pink velvet lining. They’re strange and amazing.

• 94. Elaine | March 14th, 2011 at 10:00 pm | #

  I’ve just bought a beautiful pair of red patent pumps – they are gorgeous, comfortable and presumably I will just have to click my heels 3 times when I want to go home…

• 95. Wendy | March 15th, 2011 at 6:24 pm | #

  Navy blue slip-on leather flats that I’ve have forever and fit like a pair of gloves. Oldies but goodies, always there for me.

• 96. Sue | March 16th, 2011 at 10:45 am | #

  I have a favourite pair of shoes that I just can’t seem to stop wearing, they look great and are so comfortable and I just love them to death.

  I love my running shoes,
  They put me in a great mood.
  Means I’m having time to de-stress,
  That’s when I feel my best!

• 99. katrina | March 16th, 2011 at 9:36 pm | #

  My black DKNY black slip on’s, they are so comfy and go with almost everything!

  4 Ft 11, I’m just so small,
  Love my shoes that make me Nicole Kidman tall.
  My Greek Santorini boots help me see,
  Past my 7ft tall husband’s knee.

• 101. Grace Pribudi | March 16th, 2011 at 10:40 pm | #

  With snakeskin print that’s as sexy as a lady snake and gold killer heels, my Emporio Armani’s make me squeel at how great I feel!

• 102. Karin Williams | March 17th, 2011 at 4:09 pm | #

  My BLUE snakeskin, high heels, man stopper, outragiously high, sexy, adorable, don’t know what i would do without them shoes! Every time i wear them, I always get a comment or even a jelous look. love them!

• 103. Marlene | March 17th, 2011 at 4:37 pm | #

  My beautiful sliver tap shoes that make strking music with the “shoe horn” while I was in “shoe business”. There’s no business like shoe business!

  My fav shoes are my tan knee high boots, they are my fav cos not only are they comfy they boost my height which is what I need…. and I can wear them riding my motorbike!!

• 106. Marlene | March 18th, 2011 at 11:12 am | #

  My fake “Manolo BLANKS”, “Christian LouboutinI, and FendiN from a market in China are not quite in the same fashion CHANEL as Carrie. But I just love my Jimmy CHEW. They look almost as good as the real thing and if you look quickly you miss the wrong spelling. Best of all, the shoes have lasted through the neighbour’s dog, Jimmy, (who somehow has learnt how to spell), constant chewing on them!

• 107. Annabelle | March 18th, 2011 at 3:13 pm | #

  My shoes have travelled around the globe,
  Worn with anything from jeans to a night robe,
  They’re worth every cent!
  $589.00 I spent!
  My Acne pin leather pump heal,
  Elegance is what it makes me feel,
  A concealed platform for my petite frame,
  Flat I am NOT game!
  The epitomise pleasure,
  My wardrobe treasure!

• 108. Becky Neary | March 19th, 2011 at 9:12 pm | #

  Walking to collect my diploma,
  The polished floor made me fall over!
  I stacked in my black high heels,
  Still love them despite my ordeal!

• 109. lynne lillington | March 19th, 2011 at 9:20 pm | #

  My pink thigh high suede boots, I wear them every chance I can and buy clothes especially to show them off.

• 110. sam | March 20th, 2011 at 1:44 am | #

  cool boots in fashion nearly every day

• 111. carmen | March 20th, 2011 at 3:26 pm | #

  A pair of Jimmy Choo shoes I purchased in new york on sale,black,leather ,high heels.

• 112. Bobbie | March 20th, 2011 at 7:07 pm | #

  I’m a typical woman with a LOT of shoes,
  A favourite you say? You want me to choose?
  My old faithful sandals I wear every day,
  My killer high heels I struggle to walk in but just had to have anyway,
  The boots that look good tucked into my jeans,
  Or my gardening sneakers when I’m being ‘green’,
  I’m sorry my friends I just cannot choose,
  I’m absoltely in love with all of my shoes.

• 113. Tina Parker | March 20th, 2011 at 8:28 pm | #

  My Guess platform wedges. I am stuck in ‘sensible’ shoes every day due to my job so I love to step out in heels and these are high platforms but extremely comfortable. My favourite saying is “most people were born in hospital, I was born in heels”.

• 114. Chey | March 20th, 2011 at 8:37 pm | #

  My pink & white checkered Havaianas. Four years we have been together, may we never part..

• 115. Carolyn Mazzeo | March 20th, 2011 at 8:49 pm | #

  I have a pair of Wittner peep toe leather mules with a 12cm heel. My friends are envious when I’m still wearing them hours after they’ve removed theirs – but they are so soft and comfortable I could wear them all night long (possibly even to bed!).

• 116. Jessica Tibbits | March 21st, 2011 at 12:31 am | #

  I’ve got a pair of red patent square toed block heels. I call them my ruby slippers. They are a bit small and don’t go with many outfits – but they are so shiny! They are a work of art.

• 117. Pamela | March 21st, 2011 at 5:19 pm | #

  I have had my pair of suede turquoise heels with cream stitching and tassle straps for 6 years and no matter where I go everyone comments on how much they love them. I have bought many outfits with these heels in mind.

• 118. Raelene Graham | March 21st, 2011 at 10:03 pm | #

  My favourites are a pair of runners I picked up in Italy, they are plain white leather(great for cleaning!)Superga’s.I love these to death, they are the most comfortable shoes, I’ve ever worn!

• 119. Jo Deller | March 21st, 2011 at 11:28 pm | #

  My favourite pair of shoes are a black high heeled pair made for me in 1981 when I was a teenager because I have size 11 feet which were impossible to find shoes for back then, they are still in fantastic condition and get regular use. The man who made them worked in a tiny shoe factory in Chippendale/Redfern and he was so lovely and complimentary to a shy suburban girl that I always feel good when I wear the shoes and remember him….

• 120. Shezza | March 22nd, 2011 at 5:14 am | #

  Shoes are my life!
  In my cupboard they dwell
  From flip flops to stilettos
  This prize would be swell!

• 121. Kara | March 22nd, 2011 at 7:21 am | #

  It sounds silly, but my favourite pair would have to be my daggy old work shoes. I work in child care so they are always covered in sand, spit, dirt and sometimes other yucky things I won’t mention lol. But I spend close to 40 hours a week in them, they are comfortable and they are my favourite pair of shoes

• 122. sam | March 22nd, 2011 at 8:35 am | #

  My no special brand grass green high heeled strappy sandals – they add a splash of colour to any outfit I wear and lift every outfit.

• 123. Lyn | March 22nd, 2011 at 10:58 am | #

  I love my Black Bootyshapers,
  Who could beat Italian Makers,
  Cute,Soft,Leather,Toe Peepers,
  Comfort,Style,Catwalk Creepers!

• 124. DD | March 22nd, 2011 at 3:58 pm | #

  My over loved Ug boots. Comfortable, warm and the fashion accessory equivalent to ‘comfort food’. Don’t know what I’m going to do when they finally give out on me.

• 125. Diana | March 22nd, 2011 at 4:01 pm | #

  My wedding boots. They’re very old world ankle boots, white leather, that lace up with a tiny heel. I adore them because every woman in our family has worn them on her special day, and I can continue to love them until one day I must pass them on to my daughter. They’re in such great condition for old shoes, and amazingly we’ve all had the same sized feet!

• 126. Ernie | March 22nd, 2011 at 4:03 pm | #

  The sexy black suede stiletto ‘puss-in-boots’ boots that my gorgeous wife now only wears indoors, just for me!! They’re hot, smoking hot – nearly as hot as her.

• 127. Rita | March 22nd, 2011 at 5:56 pm | #

  My satin wedding shoes with diamond encrusted heels are a must to cherish, as it cost a fortune to buy.

• 128. karina | March 22nd, 2011 at 10:45 pm | #

  My fave are my boots that are flat and the most comfortable shoes to dance in.

• 129. Sarah | March 23rd, 2011 at 1:13 pm | #

  My “Something Blue” Manolos. Worn when I married my beautiful husband (and a couple of times since) to channel Carrie on my big day. I still put them on to give me a pick up if I’m feeling blue!

• 130. Kim Brekelmans | March 23rd, 2011 at 4:48 pm | #

  my gorgeous and warm well worn slippers

• 131. bianca | March 23rd, 2011 at 7:22 pm | #

• 132. Helen | March 24th, 2011 at 12:14 pm | #

  My favourite pair of shoes is my “organ playing shoes”. It’s actually a pair of jazz-shoes (dancing shoes) that has been modified by adding about 0.5cm of leather heels. Those shoes have earned their keep many times over. I use them to play pipe organ – I’m an organist by trade!

• 133. julie bennett | March 24th, 2011 at 8:06 pm | #

  i bought my first pair of boots EVER seriously finally my calves fit into boots, i adore those love my boot inserts GENIUS!!!

• 134. Kate Longley | March 24th, 2011 at 9:44 pm | #

  My Dan Post boots I bought in Vegas on our honeymoon. They were the one thing I had to have and didn’t care of the cost. The look vintage and are hot!

• 135. Karen | March 24th, 2011 at 10:22 pm | #

  My favourite shoes are my black boots which I’ve had re-soled twice already as they are soooooo darned comfy!!!

• 136. Sheridan Scarlett | March 24th, 2011 at 10:46 pm | #

  My uncle’s (no longer) cream converse shoes. He’s in a band, and his converse are the only shoes I ever see him wear.
  They hold a ton of memories for him as well as for meh! =}

• 137. Kelly Horne | March 24th, 2011 at 11:24 pm | #

  Strappy black sandle heels with a diamonti circle decoration. I fell in love with them. They are simple but beautiful….Im wearing them next weekend to my sisters wedding!

• 138. Angela kolopeaua | March 25th, 2011 at 12:19 am | #

  My best shoes ever are my have Black Guess high heels, even after having 3 babies i put them on and still dance the night away, feel like i am 20 again and not have saw feet. ( i did this 3 weeks ago!!!)

• 140. Rob | March 25th, 2011 at 1:02 pm | #

  My three-times re-soled motorbike boots… though now nearly ready to call it a day!

  These Benjiboxes & Booty Shapers would certainly sort out my wife’s shoe obsession! (well, tidy it up a bit anyway!)

• 141. Cheryl | March 25th, 2011 at 2:39 pm | #

  On my toenail painted feet,
  On the beach or the street!
  Summer or Winter I don’t care,
  Havaianas are all I wear!

• 142. tabatha | March 25th, 2011 at 3:43 pm | #

  My BOOTS were made for walking and that’s what we’re going to do.

• 143. Michelle H | March 25th, 2011 at 4:21 pm | #

  My big boots, they resemble biker boots but in a much more fashionable way – and they jingle when I walk!

• 144. natalie Foster | March 25th, 2011 at 5:24 pm | #

  My favourite pair of shoes are my black strappy pair that have caused me many embarrassing moments such as thursday I slipped, in the air and shopping all over the floor – yet I just love them they are so dainty!

• 145. Jo | March 25th, 2011 at 5:40 pm | #

  I love my Zebra print “Betula” slip ons … I have big feet and dont usually get “pretty” shoes so I love these!

• 146. monica scurlock | March 25th, 2011 at 5:41 pm | #

  Silver slip-on with a flat heel..dressy enough for a night out, down to earth enough for day wear as well!

• 147. Carrissa McNamara | March 25th, 2011 at 5:49 pm | #

  My black, flat airflex boot. Ever stylish and ever comfortable, what more could a girl wish for?

• 148. Di | March 25th, 2011 at 8:46 pm | #

  My Italian green leather heels with the cut out leather butterfly across the front section,sadly in a moment of stupidity I gave them away………

• 149. Jeannette Lockett | March 25th, 2011 at 9:33 pm | #

  The black leather boots my daughter brought me back from Italy are my favourite pair.

• 150. Alicia | March 25th, 2011 at 9:36 pm | #

  I’m a shoe addict also. My favorite pair is a cream and grey Aldo pair with a hint of yellow. They were the first pair I bought after having my first child and they reminded me that I don’t need to be a 20 year old socialite to love wearing high heels!

• 151. Ann | March 25th, 2011 at 11:18 pm | #

  I love my boots sooo much because not only are they sexy but they cover my toe nails when i am having a bad toe day!

• 152. Elizabeth Davey | March 26th, 2011 at 9:59 am | #

  my purple sparkly converse as just like me they are purple and sparkly

• 153. Nita T. | March 26th, 2011 at 11:00 am | #

  My favorite “Nite on the Town” shoes are a great pair of Italian boots I bought in Chicago over 10 years ago and because I’ve treated them with a lot of TLC (and they’re very well made), they still look like new.

  My favorite “at home kick back” shoes are my soft ankle high fluffy booties.

  PS: I also L-O-V-E this website! The design is so well thought out and the recipes are abolutely fantastic!

• 154. Karen | March 26th, 2011 at 11:51 am | #

  My favourites are definitely my Salvatore Ferragamo flats – they are so comfy but stylish!

• 155. Gabby | March 26th, 2011 at 1:00 pm | #

  I love my pair of Miss Jacq satin pumps, patent black heel topped with an effusion of electric blue, carmine red, fuschia and tangelo gyspy style flowers. Being satin they cannot be worn on a rainy day which can be risky in Melbourne, and if there is a hint of dirt or sand I have to perform a series of (hopefully) lady like skips and jumps to avoid these gems hitting the ground for too long. I know every woman (and no doubt some men too)who has a pair of shoes they wish they could go back in time and purhase 5 identical pairs, this is that pair for me.

  I really love my thongs (flip flops). I wear them everywhere because it’s so comfy. Suitable for all occasions and great for thong throwing competition

• 157. michelle | March 26th, 2011 at 1:42 pm | #

  OMG what a gorgeous competition. all my shoes are thrown into an old cardboard box i am embarrased to admit to.

  would LOVE to win this prize

• 158. Crystal Adams | March 26th, 2011 at 2:35 pm | #

  My comfy reliable skechers take me walking everywhere

• 159. Katherine Ryan | March 26th, 2011 at 3:38 pm | #

  Ooh, it’d be either my brown heeled cowboy boots (well similar style anyhow, but less obvious, so they’re not really ‘trendy’ and likely to go out of style) or a pair of bronze beaded flat sandals that I love to wear during summer – they make me feel pretty and exotic.

• 160. Tash Nowland | March 26th, 2011 at 8:30 pm | #

  My trusty old joggers are my fave because I can be walking my dogs in the bush or planning mouth watering meals for my family while scouring the markets for unusual ingredients. They have even taken me to the greatest views looking out over Sydney harbour, standing right on top of the bridge.

• 161. Rachelle | March 26th, 2011 at 9:18 pm | #

  My colorado wedges.
  They go with everything.
  Now slightly rough around the edges,
  But so comfy they make my heart sing.

• 162. Letona | March 26th, 2011 at 10:56 pm | #

  The old Dunlop Volleys. Comfy comfy comfy. They’re all terrain, great for everyday and they do not slip in the rain.

• 163. Belinda Bonello | March 26th, 2011 at 11:50 pm | #

  My leopard print sandals that had black silk and diamonds. I cannot tell you how many times someone out shopping has stopped and asked me where I brought them. Even just last week someone asked me.

• 164. Anna | April 9th, 2011 at 1:41 pm | #

  My fav would be my all star sneakers they are so comfy.I wear them everyday for the walk to work and then change.They are the best.

• 165. Natasha | May 4th, 2011 at 11:31 pm | #

  My favourite shoes I own are by ShooBiz, I won them about 3 weeks ago! They are called “Mikayla” They have laces, and a nice stilleto heel! I love them sooo much!
