I add, a pair of everything in both brown and black, to get you covered--pumps, flats, sandals, boots. It's a philosophy that's served me well--this way I'm always well accessorized.

Also, one must have a pair of glam shoes--something you can wear on a special occasion: a wedding (other than your own!), a black tie event, a night at the opera, or a special celebratory event. Those shoes must have something sparkly or at least distinguishable as festive (some ornament, special fabric, etc.).

Sport flats and comfy sandals are also among my basics, too.

And of course, my basics also include a shoe in just about every color you are prone to wearing (you know, just in case!), so I might not exactly represent the voice of reason in that regard. (Ahem). (Yes, no shoe wardrobe is complete without red shoes. And boots. And sandals. Who's with me? Hello?)
