Enough shoes to open a museum!

Your thoughts about this video

jo
wow! im amazed at how many shoes u ave my parentz wuld never let me have that many uve inspired me :)

Kira
Oh my gosh i have the same problem! I love shoes so much I have like a million pairs! What I try to do is stay away from shoe stores. Dont go near them! They are as addicting as drugs! Love Kira

Lily
At university age it's very immature to be squandering your money for shoes that you dont even need!!! I pity your parents and hope you learn to budget on the vital things not blue boots....

natalie
if you buy i pair of shoes every time you go shopping, 1 way you can cut back is dont go shopping all the time

vivien
i know my name is silly but i give good advice i think you should let your parents take control of your money n only spend as much money as needed that way you wont by as many shoes

Shirley
Well, I have the same problem, but I buy all my 'new' shoes at the charity shops, so the expense if far less.

Kevin
You could open a shoe shop. Joking apart, sounds like an obsession to me, curable of course in most cases. What am I saying I buy model Jaguar cars. I should talk.

ellie
i think it is pathetic that someone can be 'obsessed' with buying shoes. we all get urges some times.pull yourself together!

Amber
I thought I had it bad... but dis gurl tops me 'n' all!!! N e wayz, I'm soooooooo glad ma mum gives me limits on ma money... I h8ed @ 1st,but den i reliesed dat i woz spendin 2oo much on ma shoes. I guess tellin parents about dease fings kinda helps, don't it?

sue
i think you are brave to admit your problem on video nation and i understand how you feel as i have a problem buying clothes in the last year i have taken out a 2000 bank loan a 1000 visa card and three store cards, this year i have promised my self im not going to buy any more clothes i think my spending is one way i deal with stress when i shop i forget my problems just for a few hours, like you i also feel i need help to overcome my problem, im sure you have had lots of positive comments and i hope you find the help and willpower to over come your problem.

samira
get a grip on your self slow down you will have no money left at this rate and be in serious just for buying too many shoes

Shelley
I recommend u seek professional help for your shoe addiction. Remember the first step is admitting u have a problem. I hope u will be able to one day control this illness. You have my support.

kelly
I feel bad for that lady.She must feel bad about lieing to her parents and spending money on things she already has enough of.

Ahmed
This is fascinating production. Clearly depict day to day problem young people face which need professional help. I think Ms Rowlands did a splendid job to record this as social document. However, she could be a good adviser for people seeking advise regarding shoes!

chloe walker
Every time you go shopping when you look at shoes. think about what else you could buy.
