How many pairs of boots do you consider reasonable?

Not me grin. I have lots of boots too. I tend to wear boots and sandals more than shoes, but even so, there is no reason why you shouldn't have as many pairs as you like - you are paying for them.

Also, boots fulfil differing functions. Some are to keep your feet warm, some are to stop you slipping in the snow, some are for comfort, some are to look nice and set off an outfit, some are for going on long walks etc. There is nothing wrong with having them for as many of those situations (or others) as you find yourself in.

Enjoy your boots!

Sad really - so many dead animals to put your feet in!

I have just bought a very comfortable - but smart pair of grey suede boots. Did I need them? Probably not as I already have a pair of fur lined grey suede boots, but I am telling myself this new pair are “smarter”
Anyway, is there any reason we should not have several pairs of boots in the same way we have several pairs of shoes, not just one in each colour
So counting up my boots - oh dear , but sone are “smart” others, utility - black leather -2, tan leather -3, black suede -1, brown suede -1, blue suede -1, grey suede -2, tan suede-1.
Anyone prepared to make me feel less like Imelda Marcos?
