How many pairs of boots is too many?

[LackingCommonSense]

How many do you have?

I reckon I have 10 pairs... but I still want more!

Lol..I was wondering the same thing! Just got 2 new ankle boots, need to exchange a present from m&s and thinking I may get a pair of ankle boots, and have another 2 on my wish list..
I'm trying to make sure they are different styles and colours though so I get wear out of all of them

Oo didn't answer your q, I have 6 at the moment which isn't too many I guess!

I have them in different colours too but I also have some I never wear that I should probably get rid of.. I keep seeing new pairs I want! I'm a bootaholic

The formula for working out how many pairs of boots you should have is n+1, where n=the number of boots you already own.

I've just had a mental count up and I think I've got 9 pairs which cover all bases. I've just brought 2 pairs which filled some gaps. I wear them all often. My categories are:-

black flat ankle boots
black healed ankle boots
black knee high boots
brown flat ankle boots
brown healed ankle boots
brown flat knee highs
brown healed knee highs
uggs
grey healed knee high boots

Actually I don't wear the grey ones much, I thought they would bring a good versatility to my wardrobe but I find them difficult to coordinate with my clothes.

I like the n+1 formula

I have

Black knee highs
Black ankle (could probably do with replacing as I've spent more reheeling them than they cost in the first place..
Black slouches
Brown ankle uggs
Brown casual ankle
Brown smart ankle
Tan knee high uggs
White biker boots (difficult to coordinate!)
DM's
Wellies (actually, do these even count?)

So that's 10. I might be missing a pair...if the wellies don't count I'm not even in double figures so another pair is totally justifiable

You can never have too many pairs of boots,
I just did mental count and came up with the following :
1 knee boots , black
1 ankle length black boots,
1 black biker boots,
1 knee boots burgundy,
1 suede dark brown biker boots,
1 suede charcoal flat ankle boots,
I honestly though I had more , need to buy some

Oh gosh, I have about 20 odd pairs at last count. Always looking for more .

flat, dark brown over the knee boots
flat, tan over the knee boots
low heeled, brown ankle boots

• wear all of these regularly with jeans for the school run, popping to the shops, trips to the park etc

flat black over the knee boots x 3 in slightly different styles that I wear for work, smart-casual outings etc

heeled, suede black knee boots x 2 that I wear out to the pub, restaurants etc

black heeled ankle boots x 3 in slightly different styles to wear for slightly smarter work events (my work isnt a suited and booted affair)

grey boots that go with my grey skinny jeans

camel coloured, heeled knee boots that go with my lighter jeans

Streetwalker boots for dressy nights out - I have 6 pairs of thigh high, over the knee and knee boots that are very high/expensive/sexy...rarely wear them but love having them just in case.

Three pairs of ancient Uggs I wear around the house and to go to the corner shop as they are SO cosy (hate the look, though)

Hmm...

Riding-style brown knee boots
Black biker boots
Cowboy boots
Silver shortie uggs
Heeled waterproof ankle boots
Wellies
Muckers
Walking boots
Jodhpur boots
Snow boots

10 pairs! It's enough to cover every base, I think...

I am currently testing this question using practical experiment.

Brown knee flats x2
Black knee flats x5
Black knee heels x2
Black ankle x3
Purple knee heels x1
Calf snow boots x3

I am glad I am not alone in my boot madness

Black knee flats x 1
Taupe knee flats x 1
Black ankle x 3
Brown ankle x 1
Burgundy ankle x 1
Khaki ankle x 1
Grey ankle x 1

I have loads, I love autumn/winter/spring! And I'm not remotely fashionable, I just like boots and also like comfort for walking around town (rarely have access to car) - so spending money on the right footwear is important.

2 x black knee high
1 x black calf
1 x brown calf
2 x brown knee high (one on the way out)
4 x black ankle boots (one flat, one wedge, two heels for smart occasions)
2 x brown ankle boot (one wedge, one flat walking/snow style)
1 x Rocket dog uggs-a-like black boot for snow
1 x black/trainery ankle length waterproof/snow boots
1 x grey ankle/calf boot
2 x converse hi-tops (one black, one blue)
1 x ridiculous cowboy boots I can't bear to throw but should
1 x petrol green Fly London knee highs

The calf boots are all cheap pleather type and I expect they will last one season (cost £16 max), the rest all cost between 30-90 but will last or have lasted years. Wonder if I should get calf boots like that too but don't have the budget right now. I don't actually buy boots that often, but because I have so many they last a very long time. My husband wears one pair at a time but has to buy a few a year!

I've got loads too.
You can NEVER have too many!

1 flat knee high brown
1 flat ankle black
1 flat ankle tan
1 heeled ankle black

I would like some more heeled ankle boots but am pregnant so rubbish at walking in heels.

While reading through the replies I though how ridiculous it is that you all have so many, thinking that I only have a couple of pairs. After a few minutes thought I realised that I have 8 and I really could use a few more.

I think I have loads - though I am in good company
