Ladies, You Own HOW MANY Pairs of Shoes?

Is it an addiction ladies? Do you really have that many shoes? According to new research, the average woman owns 21 pairs of shoes - including nine pairs she never wears.

A study of 2,000 women found that the typical woman's wardrobe will contain four pairs that have never been worn, and five that have only been worn once.

Stiletto heels are most likely to gather dust. For one in ten women, flip-flops and wedges were also shoes that never leave their boxes.

Women own an average $568 worth of unworn shoes.

The study also found the average woman will have spent $10,400 on footwear by her mid 40s.

Over a third confessed to buying shoes they didn't need because they were on sale.

The poll revealed that the twenties is a woman's most shoe-hungry time due to less financial responsibility, a higher interest in fashion and a job with more disposable income.
