They say a woman can never have too many shoes, but I suspect they have never tried to live with another grown up in a small one-bedroom apartment. In the spirit of both giving to others and comfortable togetherness, I elected to weed through the pile of shoes growing on our closet floor and get rid of some that I no longer wear (and in some cases NEVER wore) for one reason or another. We’re shipping off our box of sneakers, flip-flops, flats and pumps to Soles4Souls, an organization based in Alabama and Utah that specifically collects shoes from around the country and gives to those who need them. You can read about their good works here on their blog, such as the amazing million-plus they gathered to help Katrina victims last year.
