With the big screen debut of "Sex and the City," we thought these fun facts would be appropriate:

• A poll of 1,057 women by the Consumer Reports National Research Center for shopping magazine ShopSmart found U.S. women on average own 19 pairs of shoes although they only wear four pairs regularly. Fifteen percent of the respondents have over 30 pairs.
• The survey also found women would risk injury to squeeze into new slingbacks or stilettos, with 43 percent of women saying they had been at least moderately injured by shoes and 8 percent reporting serious injuries like sprains or breaks.
• Six out of 10 women regret at least one shoe purchase and on average women have worn a quarter of their shoes only once.
• According to a survey conducted by Opinion Research Corporation on behalf of Marshalls, nearly 60% of those responding said they would rather live without chocolate, cell phones or even the man in their life than live without their shoes. Five percent said they would choose shoes over all three combined. Additionally, 44% said that in these tough economic times they would eat out less, and 20% would take less expensive vacations. Only 12% said they would cut down on their shoe spending.
