Average man spends a quarter of his life to buy his shoes -How far this is true?

We don't have a lot of shoes, just work boots, tennies and town shoes, my husband does have foot problems and it take a while for him to get fitted, but it's only once a year, that can't be 1/4 th of his life. I guess we just don't fit in.

Wow - 1/4? That sounds like a lot of time! Not sure that's true I know my partner has more shoes than me, but even so, I can't imagine that in total he will spend 25% of his lifetime buying shoes... hmmm Where was this article written?

Well I guess I am not the average man then because I certainly don't spend a 1/4 of my life time on shoes, this is very very high percentage. For me I guess it would be 1/100 and that's a generous amount, I hate buying shoes, I have to be in the mood and that is not very often, I think I buy about 2 or 3 pairs of shoes a year so I can't see that equating to 1/4. I have about five pairs of shoes I own, not including trainers for the gym. So to be honest I don't agree with this article my friend.

that guy must have 100 legs,i still have shoes from 8 years ago,wingtips never go out. it's like buying clothes at malmart,wash them once and they shrink 3 sizes but pay for a good shirt or pants and they'll last years same with shoes.if i spent a quarter of my life buying shoes i'd have shrink check me out.

I think my husband has about 10 pairs of shoes in total. A couple of pairs of "good" shoes, a few pairs of trainers, summer stuff, and a pair of walking boots. It's not like men need a lot of shoes, I mean trainers go with everything they are likely to wear anyway. Women on the other hand, we require many more shoes to go with our many outfits. If we were to live in jeans and t-shirt, then fair enough, a couple of pairs of trainers would do the job. But most of us don't. I myself no longer have room for any more shoes. My husband has made me a huge shoe rack (which is now full), and if I want a new pair of shoes, I must throw out an old pair. This doesn't happen of course, I just hide the new ones under the bed, or in the botton of the wardrobe. Having said all that, I don't think I spend 1/4 of my life shoe-shopping. A fair chunk of time yes, but not that much. But men spending that much time - I don't think so. :)

A man spends a quarter of his life to buy his shoes?this is unbelieveable.a woman will be more believeable I think,I will never agree with this

What rot! Don't believe this for a minute all the best urban
