Shoes!!

Yes, I know I have too many as well. I have a few pairs of boots in the front closet that I didn't wear at all this winter, so they will be donated.

I'm just wearing sandals for the first time this week, and I have 5 pairs, some a bit dressier than others. Trainers tend to be used for exercise until they show some wear, then get put by the back door for dog walking or yard work, so only 2 pairs.

Dressier shoes/heeled sandals tend to last for years since they don't get a lot of wear, but I think about 6 pairs in different colours or styles. I was embarrassed last year when invited out for an evening do and my wedge slides fell apart, the top became totally unglued from the sole. Ladies with tape in the kitchen did a spot repair for me! Once again, this was not a case of a shoe wearing out, but rather the glue falling apart because of age. Too bad, because they were very comfortable!

About 15 pairs, including slippers and boots. I regularly wear one pair of trainers and one pair of slippers, and the rest are in an over door holder as we don't have much space.

I wear wellies for gardening whatever the weather, but only because they're easy to slip on and off.

I have a friend who has 2 pairs of shoes. I find her very strange.

I thought ten max -
1 pair FlyLondon boots
1 pair Barefoot boots
1 pair Sorel boots
1 pair Ugg boots
1 pair (ancient) navy loafers
1 pair (ditto) black loafers
1 pair Birkenstock shoes
2 pairs Birkenstock sandals (slippers)
1 pair sheepskin slippers
2 pairs suede clogs
2 pairs crocs
1 pair sandals
1 pair “smart” navy shoes
1 pair ditto black shoes
1 pair Skechers (bought reluctantly for a weekend break soon). I’m not a trainer person, I wish I was …
18 pairs!!!
I have one really “difficult” foot and find shoe buying stressful. Most of these shoes rarely see the light of day …

I have 3 pairs of trainers I wear all the time, 1 pair of sandals and 1 pair of slippers end of, why would you need so many shoes,????

You can never have too many shoes.Or books.(this is my opinion.) I've had some years though so fair enough.I recently had one pair give up on me & start taking in wet,so i sadly had to bin them, they were a pair of slip- in trainers i'd picked up cheaply in New York($19) when my feet hurt. Got in a smallish discount shoe shop i'd spotted.I loved those shoes.Sad day when i had to part with them,i had them almost 9years.🫤

44 pairs of shoes/boots/flip flops 🤭
Monday I talked myself out of buying a lovely pair of summer wedges online, telling myself “ you do not need them” …. However, yesterday when I looked in my shoes cupboard I found I’d already bought them last year in the sale 😂 and they were still in the bag they came in 😂
Always been shoe obsessed ……..

Because you wear different outfits, which need different shoes to go with them, you wear different styles of shoes and boots depending on the type of trousers or dress/skirt you’re wearing, or at least, I do. Trainers are not smart enough in my opinion to wear except if you’re working at home or walking a long distance.

I know I’ve got too many, but as a minimum for me I think about 10 pairs would serve all purposes:
Trainers
Walking boots
Wellies
Smart court shoes
Loafers
Flat sandals for walking, beach etc.
Smart flat sandals
Smart heeled sandals
Flat boots
Heeled boots

I’d be interested to hear if others would see a different or lower number, I might be out of the ordinary on this.

Haha I have no idea but too many! I have a 6ft tall shoe rack that's full snc I live alone... Plus there's always a few pairs laying around the bedroom. The thing is many of them are dress shoes or with heels. I can't walk in them and never go anywhere to need dressy shoes so they're all collecting dust. I mostly wear crocs or trainers, sandals inthe warm weather.

I have one pair ankle boots, one pair shoes, one pair of trainers and one pair of sandals. I’m thinking I need one pair more of everything……they’re all old

3 pairs of flip flops and one pair of shoes

Clogs for gardening, sliders by the front and back doors for nipping in and out.
Walking boots and shoes for Winter, sandals for Summer, all Keen, all more than five years old now.

Pavers slip ons - one white, one navy pair
Slippers,
My Josef Seibel sandals and shoes are very comfortable and smart enough for the occasions I go to.

I have an elderly pair of trainers for cycling too.

No heels ever - I just fall off them.

Is this a competition? Seriously? I can't believe how many pairs some people have!

I hate shopping for shoes and have a pair hiking shoes, a pair of short black boots, a pair of shoes I bought for a wedding 2 years ago and 2 pair of sandals, I've just thrown a pair of trainers that had a hole in.

I have a pair of shoes for each outfit. That way I do not have to think about clothes and shoes every morning.

I think I have 2 pairs of sandals.

That’s very organised of you M0nica

Hotter have just sent me a Sale brochure for shoes so I may treat myself to a pair.😃

Yes 😄 there’s a prize for those who have the most and a prize for those who manage life with the least.🏆🥇

The old ones are comfy or look just right: the new ones have been bought in the hope they’d be the same…

60 pairs and I gave all my higher heels away!

2 pairs Josef Siebel lace up shoes.
1 pair Josef Siebel sandals
I pair walking boots
3 pairs slid on sandals Birkenstocks
I pair closed toe Birkenstocks
I pair Boden loafers
12 pairs assorted , in a box under the bed , that I haven’t worn in ages.

Got about 25 prs all either ankle boots or a few very supportive sandals as odd feet and one is club . Only bought one pair of fuschia cosy fit ankle this year . All my footwear is Hotter ; Cosy Fit or Wauldlafer and all boots have to have laces to support my weak ankles .

Good topic. I cant wear sandals because last time I rolled my ankle and my leg broke in two places.

1 pair of slippers for in the house
1 pair of crocs for quick trips outdoors
1 pair of wellies for rainy days
2 pairs of trainers that are cute but I never wear
3 pairs of heeled black sandals I need once every four years
1 pair of trainers that I wear every day and replace once a year with same kind.
1 pair of hiking boots I wear for muddy walks.
1 pair of snow boots I wear once a decade.

Probably about 8 pairs of sketchers trainers, 2 pairs of sketchers sandals, 4 pairs of boots, couple of slip on sliders, 2 pairs of slippers. All other shoes already given away or waiting to be given away as I cannot do heels anymore.

You are me and I claim my tenner.

Sketchers rule.

Plus one pair black summer sandals, Clarks.
And 2 pretty pairs summer shoes, never more than rarely worn but memories of an event.

Oh, a pair of pretty Sketchers bootees too. And the very favourite particular colour sketchers I bought 2x duplicate pairs for "best" before they sold out.

Colour match my Sketchers (and socks) with clothes.
