About 30 - 40 pairs.
Mainly ankle boots and lots of trainers and converse type suede things.

I sorted out my shoes a few months ago but I still haven't worn any of the ones I kept back. So I shall have another purge soon and just leave myself with

-A pair of ankle boots for winter
- a pair of trainers with easy-to-do-up laces
- a pair of plain smarter shoes with a low heel
- a pair of sandals
- hiking boots

I never really got the attraction of shoes. One pair of plain black shoes goes with everything, surely.?

I have many pairs of shoes too. Heels, flats and many different colours. I like a co-ordinated outfit. I did work in a footwear company where a perk was a free pair every six months and as a result I have amassed a fair collection of quality shoes. Fact is I haven't bought a single new pair in the last eight years since I retired. Think my collection will see me out.

Probably about 25/30 pairs.

However, when I first moved overseas, I had to sort out my entire house, because I rented it out. I had over 100 pairs of shoes. I did manage to sell quite a lot of them on Ebay though.

3 pairs of flip flops
1 pair of ankle boots
1 pair of high boots
3 pairs of trainers (Skechers)
1 pair of wellies

Nothing ever matches.

At a guess i would say around 8-10 pairs.
All but one pair are Clarks the other is Timberland.

Well, how many have you got Sally?
One person's 'loads' is very different to another's smile

I have loads, especially sandals and have just ordered another pair, in navy. I bought them from Gabor. I have wide, quite sensitive feet and Gabor do some stylish ones.

My OH thinks I have too many shoes, but I do like an outfit to match! He says he has a brown pair and a black pair and that’s enough!
