How many pairs of shoes do you have?

58 replies

I have 21 pairs (shoes and boots) and I've just bought two more. I'm feeling guilty about how many pairs I have - though they all get worn.

About 16.
All get worn.If not, I give them to someone else.

Probably about 15 including flipflops/slippers etc.

I don't have the perceived woman shoe/handbag gene.

So I'm not feeling that guilty - I don't seem to be too far ahead of the average! I don't think I can justify buying any more now without ebaying some first though.

Where? At work or at home, or both combined?

Probably around 120 pairs of shoes and about 15 pairs of boots. I'm not remotely ashamed of this. It's my hobby...

Many are unworn, still in their boxes just waiting for the opportunity. Grin

Good grief - how do any of you get to wear them all???

I have 6 pairs - one pair of trainers, tow sandals (one smart, one casual) and three pairs of Dr Martens.

Why do you even need that many? Confused

LynetteScavo · 20/08/2010 19:51

I have no idea....but I've just got rid of 3 pairs, so less than I did have.

Some where between 15-20 at a guess.

My tally includes everything but slippers and a pair of Havaianas that are covered in paint from decorating.

I sometimes change shoes half way through the day if weather has changed/it takes my fancy.

I have all the basics in my shoe wardrobe i.e. black boots, brown boots, comfy sandals and flats, but I now find myself increasing my collection with interesting colours (red, purple, green) and things like wedges. I think I've got all the essentials covered now, though!

50 or 60. I have some of the posh shoes on display because they are like works of art. Grin
