If you're a women, you should probably know that there's only one true answer to the question: "how many pairs of shoes do you own?". And that answer is: "too little". Maybe that's the reason why some women feel reluctant to reveal the large sums of money they spent on footwear. I bet each of you have lied at least once to your husband when asked about the price of your new heels. I'm sure that you began with telling him about this great deal to eventually reduce the sum spent by half...

Anyway, British scientists managed to count how much does an average woman spend on shoes during her lifetime. According to the research (dated 2006), an average woman will splash out more than £33000 on footwear over a lifetime.

I'm sorry about quality of the film, but it's a perfect reflection of the described situation and I just couldn't find a better copy.
