For example, the average american woman owns 19 shoes.
The average British woman owns 17 shoes.

Does this mean that the average Anglo woman only has one leg, or that she likes to walk with only one shoe? 😀 Inquiring minds wish to know.

In seriousness, France has a less harsh climate than most of America. England’s is more constant with little to no snow. Perhaps the extra pairs are winter boots and summer sandals.
