"Last Word"-Shoe In

Friday, September 07, 2007

SUSIE GHARIB: And finally tonight women love shoes and a new survey proves the point. The "Consumer Reports" research center says the average American woman owns 19 pairs of shoes. But she only wears four of those pairs regularly and some have only been worn once. Also, about a third of the women surveyed said they had trouble finding room to store all their shoes. That could be because the average woman buys four new pairs every year. And Jeff, here's a fact that will not surprise any woman who has ever worn high heels. Almost half of the women surveyed have been injured at least moderately by their shoes. I can attest to that one.

YASTINE: It sounds like another area personal injury attorneys need to get involved in.

GHARIB: No, I hope not.
