    Red face "One Trick Pony" Shoes ....

    How many of us are guilty of taking shoes on a cruise that we only intend to wear once?

    Of course I'm guilty. What's a woman to do? Wear silver heels with a gold dress? I don't think so.

    Not me!

    Over the years I have learned to minimize my shoes to 5 or 6 pair at most, and that includes water shoes.

    Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

    As long as there are formal nights, there will be shoes you only wear once - because they were bought to go with a specific dress.

    Ah, but some of us buy shoes that will go with more than one dress! I have my black ones that go with all my black formal or dressy outfits and I have a pair of neutral organza sandals that go with my other formal outfits. And I only take one color for each cruise.

    I believe my DW is guilty. One of our carry ons was filled only with 8 pairs of her shoes. They would have fit in her suit case, but it made it over weight
    Past cruises-Zuiderdam, Oct. 2009 / Emerald Princess, Oct. 2008 /Voyager of the Seas, Mar. 2007 /Oosterdam, Nov. 2007 /Adventure of the Seas, Mar. 2006 /Zuiderdam, Mar. 2005, /Maasdam, Mar. 2001, /Veendam, Dec. 2001, and many others

    I have gone the other direction. I would bring only on pair of shoes for the entire cruise but she won't let me. On our last cruise I only wore 2 pairs the entire week. Now if I can just get her to let me where crocks with my tux, I could be down to one pair.

    I take flip flops as a backup and never wear them. I can't stand the thing between my toes.

    They're lightweight so I keep thinking it's better to have them and not need them; than to need them and not have them
