And the UK's shoe addiction doesn't come cheap. A new survey has revealed that British women will spend more than £34,000 on shoes over a course of a lifetime. Clearly keen to give Carrie Bradshaw a run for her money (the Sex And The City character who realised she could have bought an apartment with the money she'd spent on shoes) British women buy on average 13 pairs of shoes per year. Shoe-aholics! A new survey has revealed that women spend, on average, £34,000 on shoes in their lifetime and snap up 13 pairs every year This results in an average annual spend of £570 which, over the course of 60 years, equates to a staggering £34,200 spent on shoes - enough to buy two new family cars and still have enough change for a fortnight's holiday. According to the survey, the average woman buys two pairs of boots costing roughly £160, three pairs of pairs of flats for £60 and three pairs of heels for £135. She will also buy, on average, two pairs of sandals costing about £100, one pair of flip flops for £10, a pair of trainers for £60 and one pair of pumps for £45. Shoe fan: Sarah Jessica Parker's Sex And The City character, Carrie Bradshaw, would be proud that women buy two pairs of boots, costing roughly £160, three pairs of pairs of flats for £60 and three pairs of heels for £135 each year The survey did not take into account shoe purchases for special occasions such as weddings where individual costs were likely to be much higher. 2 pairs of boots, costing £80 each= £160 3 pairs of flats, £20 each = £60 3 pairs of heels, £45 each = £135 2 pairs of sandals, £50 each= £100 1 Flip flop= £10 Gym trainers= £60 Pumps= £45 A spokeswoman for PromotionalCodes.org.uk, who carried out the study, said: 'The relationship a woman has with her shoes is an extremely special one which very few men can truly understand. The range of shoes out there for women is truly staggering and can cost anything from the tens to the many hundreds of pounds for a pair. One woman who took part in the survey said: 'I hate to say it but I think I am addicted to buying shoes. In fact I have been known spend more money on a single pair of shoes than an entire outfit. I have a separate wardrobe in the house just for my shoe collection. My husband thinks I am mad as there are pairs in there that have only been worn once. Another respondent added: 'For me shoes have got to be practical first and stylish second. I'm not one of those people who are prepared to sacrifice comfort for fashion, after all I'm not keen on having bunions in later life.'
