To ask how many shoes do you have downstairs

[JamB4cream]

2 adults & 2 teens,

Just been around and counted 39 pairs of shoes hanging around downstairs (including boots, flipflops, slippers) so nearly 10 pairs each.

Is this unusual?
Some are neatly on a shoe rack, some are on a boot rack, loads are just hanging around near doors.

5 of us, each has 3-5 pairs of shoes downstairs. They are in an Ikea Trofast unit, with 1 drawer each plus one for hats etc. Any that don't fit in there go upstairs. We also each have a pair of wellies on a boot rack outside the front door.

Walking boots x2 (mine and hers)
Trainers x 2 (mine and hers)
Her school shoes
Slippers x2 (mine and hers - mine are on my feet)
Sandals x2 (mine and hers)

All shoes are in the shoe rack by the front door (enclosed cupboardy thing) or the dog chews them. Our other shoes have their own shoe rack in the understairs cupboard and I am not counting them. No shoes are on the floor (at least not without teeth marks in!)

12 pairs by random doors.

Not bad really, I have too many shoes and really struggle with keeping them organised

2 adults in this house.
2 pairs, one pair of his trainers and one pair of mine. There will be a pair of his work shoes when he gets home too.
All other shoes are in the bed as we have one of those lifting beds and not alot of storage.

About the same OP but all in a big trunk so not on display.

None except the ones on our feet. Shoes being left downstairs would annoy me no end!

downstairs?!

About three or four pairs each, we are pretty good at tidying shoes into wardrobes when they are only used occasionally. I would love to build some kind of storage into the hall so they can all live there though, because we don't wear shoes inside and I sometimes end up just throwing whatever is at the door on my feet out of laziness.

Offhand I can count 7 of mine, 3 for DH, 3 each for the children so 16. Not counting wellies or slippers.

All of them. I live in a ground floor flat.

One of the positives of all my DC leaving home is the disappearance of the shoes randomly left in the downstairs cloakroom or lounge.
All my shoes live in the bottom of my wardrobe on a shoe rack.

All of them (approx 29 pairs in total). Shoes on in a house is disgusting.

2 adults and 3 children just been round and counted and - 27.

Here we go, I wondered how long it would take to turn into another shoes on v off indoors thread.

About 50! Five of us! Shoes, boots, trainers, footie boots, running spikes, ballet pumps, sliders, flip flops, wellies, slippers, eork shoes.....Christ!!!!

Lots.

Those people who dislike shoes upstairs, why? How do you check what your outfit look like in heels etc? Where do you keep the nice ones you rarely wear?

All of them. They live under the stairs on a shoe rack.

I just wouldn't need them upstairs, and there's lots of room for them where they are.

Mind you, we do need to work down the number in the shoe racks (just two of us, and a lot of the pairs re barely worn). Then when we have a new built in wardrobe, I'd happily have the 'occasion' shoes booted upstairs and the everyday ones stay where they are.

Trainers, a pair of solid outdoor shoes that should be sandals in a non soggy June, grr, grr, and some slip ons for going out to the garden. DH’s trainers and a pair of everyday shoes. All other shoes are on racks upstairs in wardrobes.

Billions

Work shoes, work boots, trainers, running shoes, cricket shoes, football boots, crocs, walking boots, sandals, school shoes, casual shoes, winter boots..... not including the cycling shoes which live in the garage with the bikes.

Sporty family of 4, 2 of who have outdoorsy/construction related jobs. Makes for a lot of footwear! Drives me nuts.

39! I would go loopy and bin loads. I have a cupboard in the hall where school shoes are put when they get in, and the shoes we are wearing that day. Anything else I expect to be away in the shoe racks in wardrobes until they are needed.

Quite a lot, we have a built in shoe rack by the front door, wellies in the porch and then a unit with two boxes containing the kids shoes in the front room!

Um. Good question

1 pair of football boots outside the front door.
1 pair of childs sandals outside the front door (they got dog muck on them once and DH won't allow them back in the house)
2 pairs of shoes outside the front door (DH's. He will not bring his shoes indoors)
1 pair of shoes on the lawn (again, DH's. He left them out there to dry but of course it rained again, so he left them outside to dry...and so on...)
DS1 has 1 pair school shoes, 1 pair of trainers (plus his football boots outside)
DS2 has 2 pairs school shoes (he wanted to keep the old tatty pair) 1 pair of sandals inside, a pair of boots that he never wears because he can't be arsed with laces (plus the other sandals outside that we keep so he can play in the river when the sun definitely comes back really soon)

I have quite a lot of shoes. Downstairs we have cupboards under the stairs to hide a lot of them. DH has maybe 6 pairs in the cupboard (that are new and forgotten about)
I have maybe 3 pairs out at a time, and the rest (er, 20 pairs?) in drawers and upstairs in boxes, and in my sewing room because I'm either trying to sell them or trying to repair them.
Wellies are all in garage at the mo. Four 'current' pairs and about 4 pairs that DS2 will 'grow into'
As are crocs for 'doing the garden'
As are all the spare plimsolls that currently don't fit DS2 and I will forget about until DS2's feet are too big for them.
As are the 'water shoes' that get taken on hols but never worn.

I have no idea how many that totals. Its probably about 40 pairs of footwear

3 - Gardening clogs, walking boots, the ones I'm about to put on.
Far too many more upstairs

Same as you OP. Some on racks, some neatly paired by the back door, some paired in the hall. Trainers, walking boots, slippers, flipflops, dress shoes, sandals, crocs, my heels and boots and wedges. Way too many.

Too many - we have 3 different shoe storage units - one holds 8 pairs, one holds about 10 and another has a couple of boxes with kids shoes/sandals/trainers, plus a bucket with wellies and a tray with walking shoes on. And some just sitting about too in a pile of boxes. A quick add up would be nearly 40 I think. That doesn't include about 5 pairs of sandals still in a box upstairs because summer isn't here yet - grr. A PP asked why so many - we all (4 of us) have walking shoes, wellies, trainers plus the kids have school shoes and a pair of sandals. DH has about 5 pairs of brown leather shoes/boots. I have casual shoes, smart ones, converse, shoes to slip on to pop to the shop etc - plus 4 pairs of boots for winter.
