Has anyone else realised they own far too many shoes?

[Summerinthecity26]

I have been having a big sort out of my house and I have thirty pairs of shoes for charity! Shoes, sandals, trainers, boots, heels, court shoes I used to wear to work years ago. It’s ridiculous!

I am left with one pair of black boots, two pairs of flat sandals, sliders, a pair of Toms and a pair of white Vans. I also have two Mary Jane style flat shoes in red and leopard print which I like but kill my feet so they might go too.

I am going to try to manage with fewer shoes, bags and clothes going forward!

I don’t know how many pairs I own but I never seem to have the right pair for the occasion - I think I might make that today’s job, a shoe sort out. I don’t think there’s more than about 20ish pairs all in, maybe 25 at a push. But I definitely don’t wear them all (thinking of one specific pair I bought last year, I didn’t like them when they arrived but never got round to sending them back) and I could free up some space somewhere to perhaps buy some new ones once I’ve worked out exactly what I do have.

3 x trainers
1 X sandals
1 X slippers
1 X long boots
1 X ankle boots
1 X Mary Jane's

Can't remember when I last wore any of them other than 2 pairs of trainers and the slippers.

I have so many pairs. I love shoes but I don’t actually go anywhere nowadays to wear them but still I buy them to go with an outfit I have bought which I also don’t wear as I don’t go anywhere 🤦‍♀️
Ive a whole wardrobe dedicated to footwear and still I have to stuff some into different places it’s gotten out of hand now.
I do get most of them from vinted so not paying full price but still too much

I counted up my shoes, sandals etc 😳

Sandals 11 (includes wedges)
Court shoes 2
Knee length boots 1
Ankle boots 1
Ugg boots 3
Trainers 3
Plimsolls 6
Loafers 2
Havaianas 4
Flat mules 7
Jimmy Choos 3
Louboutin 7 - I’ve got 2 or 3 pairs to sell as they are far too high for me to wear anymore.

I have also half filled a bin bag of shoes to go the the charity shop and also have a pile of other flip flops and deck type shoes for the bin as they’re not good enough to charity shop.

I have way too many but certainly this time of year is when I wear almost all of them except the boots.
