Oh god SO many but they are teenagers obsessed with trainers, and don’t wear anything else plus their feet have stopped growing. Ds1 buys his own as he works weekends. He will happily spend £180 on one pair. I know. Ridiculous .

My two and a half year old has a pair of leather shoes, a pair of canvas shoes and a pair of wellies.

Ds has ASD and a huge problem with shoes. He wears his one pair of black school shoes for everything and luckily has the next size up on hand to go into.

Dd likes her school shoes but has plimsolls and sandals and wellies and until this month had party shoes and winter boots - need to buy new ones.
Both KS2 age.

But, I have a lot of shoes. I love shoes so much.

7yo ds: one pair of trainers (will buy school shoes before September) and Dr Marten ninja turtle boots

I have form for massively overbuying shoes and clothes - and then half of them don't get worn before they're grown out of so with him starting school in Sept I'm trying to make an effort to cut back.

2 x regular casual shoes (kind of trainers?)

2 year old:

3 x trainers type things (she gets soaking wet all the time and they never seem to dry out quickly)

Too many!!

14 year old daughter;

Two pairs sandals
One or flip flops

One pair ankle boots
One pair snow boots

16 year old son:

Though I must add my daughter’s feet haven’t grown so she hasn’t had new shoes in a year! My son seems to buy a pair every month (often second hand off his mates).
