Shoes

How many pairs of shoes do you own? I hope you don't mind me asking. I have 40, which came as a bit of a shock. I am not Imelda Marcos.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have just sat and totted up and I think I must have about 25 pairs. I do have trouble buying shoes. I can never find shoes, at the moment they are all too high and fussy and flip flops all seem to be too flat. I love Roland Cartier, but their designs always stay the same. Also alot of casual shoes are far too clumpy and wide with horrid round toes. I sometime sthink I should open a fashion and shoe shop and just stock the thing I like!!
I feel sad with myself because this question actually led me to counting ; but here's the tally. 18 pairs shoes, 2 pr dress shoes, 2 pr sandals, 3 pr slippers, 1 pr hiking boots, 1 pr hiking shoes, 1 pr gardening shoes, 2 pr wellington boots, 1 pr trainers. Total 31, which has surprised me. Must stop buying shoes !!

i have just really shocked myself, i knew i had a bit of a thing for shoes ( i choose what clothes i'm wearing according to what shoes i fancy wearing) and my other half has climbed onto a very high horse....i confess.....93 pairs of shoes, no wonder we havent got enough shoe storage (my other half has 5 pairs of shoes)
last night i was banned from buying any more shoes for a month as a result of this question, unfortunately i had spotted a gap in my collection so i've just been and bought some little stroppy (that is stroppy, quite like strappy) shoes coz the sun's come out and i just didn't have anything to wear, happy again, 94 pairs of shoes and counting :-)
Well, not counting the footwear supplied for compulsory wearing at work, I have 1pr of dress shoes, 1pr of trainees for hanging about in, 1pr of trainees for 5-a-side (which are split and in need of replacement) 1pr of sandals (bought for hols next week) and my wife tells me I also need a pair of "deck" shoes for the hols too.
I also have 1pr of slippers (much needed Christmas prezzie from my daughter) and an old pair of walking boots, which have just been superseeded coz my more affluent bro-in-law replaced his and gave me his old cast-offs which, incidentally, have only been used about 5 times!
I also have a pair of steelies for grafting in and a pair of welliegogs for the wet, clarty stuff. And finally, sob, sob, a pair of footie boots which hardly ever got used just coz I couldn't get into the side... Thank goodness for 5-a-side!!!
I think that makes 10... Blimey, I never knew I was such a slave to fashion!
