How many shoes do your kids have?

Thinking about spring/summer footwear.
My 5.5yr old DS Obv needs school shoes, he also has wellies, pe pumps and a pair of trainers for outside of school. What footwear do your boys this age have for spring/summer?
Also have 2.5yr old DD who has clarks 'proper' shoes and wellies, what about for summer for her? She would happily only wear sparkly shoes but I need a bit of practicality!
They both measure 'E' fitting according to clarks, so lots of shoes are just too wide.
Just want an idea of what other people do :)

DD is 5.5 and she has:

School shoes (ricosta)
Indoor school shoes (doodles)
2 pairs of wellies (1 for home and 1 stays at the stables)
Trainers (next - bought in sale)
Canvas converse style hi tops (primark)
Red Glittery Mary Janes (next)

Her feet grow quite slow so shoes last a long time and tend to wear out before they are outgrown. I've already bought some wellies and school shoes in the next size up as they were on sale.

When summer comes in I will buy her some sandals and she might need some new trainers too as the last ones are looking a bit done.

I dread to think how much I spend on shoes for DD each year, much more than I do on myself for sure.

I definetely spend more on the kids shoes but think I'm quite savvy , shop in end of season sales, Amazon warehouse deals and EBay.

They have roughly the same each , selection of :
Converse ( hi top & low tops in various colours)
Clarks Originals Desert Boots
Nursery Plimsolls
Wellies
Next smart hi tops
Adidas hi tops

Looking to get them some Havainaas for summer , have been scouting Amazon warehouse daily til their sizes come up
They go for as little as £4/£5 on there .

DS has Clarks school shoes and Clarks trainers. Cheap sandshoes and wellies as he isn't wearing them every day and will have Clarks Doodles sandals in summer.

Friend moaned at me the other day that she has bought 6 pairs of school shoes since august, my DS is only on his second pair of Clarks so his have actually worked out cheaper than her Asda ones in the long run.
