Had a cupboard cleanout today and discovered, a little ashamedly, that I have 44 pairs of shoes. This is after I sent 6 pairs to the thrift shop and threw 4 pairs away.
Now I don't spend much on shoes, usually not more that $20 sometimes a fair bit less and some are more than 5 years old. It still seemed like a lot to me though.
So how many pairs do you have?
I'm the complete opposite - only 4 pairs! I have sneakers, hiking boots, thongs and heels lol.
Ahhh jees...erm..hee hee...I have no idea!!! I know I have at least 10 pairs of trainers! Only because I have to buy a new pair about every three months...there's nothing really wrong with them for most people but as an instructor they are no good after about the three month mark...between $150 and $200 a pair thats a lot of money :(
I guess about 6 pairs of thongs, 10 ish pairs of strappy things, 2 pairs of nice boots, 4 pairs of Uggy type things...what else...other shoes I guess 10ish pairs.
So yup pretty close! Wow thats a scary thought!!!
Um... 4 or 5... no, no not 45.... 4 or 5...
I have... a pair of trainers, a pair of masseur sandals, a pair of heels that I will NEVER wear again, a pair of flat dressy covered shoes, and a pair of slippers (if they count)...
My sister, on the other hand, just went through her cupboard and she posted a pic on FB... it looked like about 50 pairs. Let me go count...
ETA: On second inspection, she actually has an album called 'Shoesssssssssssss' (yes, like that). There is one pair that I'm sure she never wears that she bought because they had cupcakes on them.
Wow! Thats a LOT of shoes!!
I have about 6 pairs maybe?
I love your sister...and slippers don't count Leash! If they did then add...5 more pairs for me :):
The caption below the cupcake shoes tell me that they are TUK. If that makes them any more or less impressive? :rofl:
I only have 20 pairs at the moment because I culled about 10 pairs a couple of weeks ago. I need to go out buy some more as I need some heels for summer for work plus some more weekend shoes now that it is starting to warm up.
Well I just got rid of 10 pairs that haven't seen the light of day for at least 2 years....and in April I culled half of my beautiful shoe collection as we were moving interstate....I had lots. I love shoes....I had a whole wall in my walk in just for them, sigh.
Now I have left myself with the practical obvious needed ones (sandals, sneakers, thongs), a few for different mood changes, Two pairs of high heel boots that I've had for years and are beautiful, one pair of flat boots, and a pair of hot pink snake skin Midas Wedges...never been worn out but cost too much and too pretty to give to charity lol.
On the other hand I don't do handbags and only own 3 or 4.
Oooh handbags, someone should start another thread!!!!
:hide: 74 -- pre-preg, good pay. Now cr!p pay lots of bills lol
Umm I have sandal type things, my docs, my converse and a pair of thongs. I did have a pair of sneakers but they were sooo uncomfortable, so if I ever get to the gym I just wear my converse.
minus hiking boots add slippers and thats me!:
i have 3 pairs that i wear religously, my gallaz whitch are in need of retiring:cry: might bring my self to do it next month. my havanas love them and need a new pair, there a little in the thin side :cry: and my hoodies for feet.
ive got a pair of mini heels for special occasions or im wearing a dress:o(very rare!)
i also have 5 rediculously high ones that i will most likely never wear, the other half refers to them as my "stripper shoes" as they are so high you almost need a stilt walker degree to walk in! i know i will never wear them but there just so prety!! and it is because of those shoes i have been told, no more shes unless i need them, so new joggers and thongs will def be allowed!!!!
so all up about 9, altho 6 just sit there looking good!
I had alot of shoes before I moved house, I mean alot! but I donated, gave away, threw away all but 1 pair of heels, 1 pair of thongs, 1 pair of flats and 1 pair of sneakers. I have since added a pair of boots and a new pair of flats but I did throw out my old flats... so to answer your question, I now have 5 pairs of shoes.
Hrm. Black boots, brown boots, walking shoes, silly sandals, gardening shoes x 2, black slip-ons, plus fuzzy brown uggs for winter inside. That's 8 ... do gardening shoes even count? Mine look awful and are covered in mud, paint etc.
My partner has at least a dozen pairs of boots alone, but considerably more once you add in gardening shoes and walking shoes.
Ah now handbags, that's a different story!:
Okay, I feel really bad now that everyone's posted what they have. But I honestly couldn't survive on 5 pairs! I gotta coordinate with what I wear! I have lots of sandals, black ones, silver, red, brown. A couple of heels and lots of flats in various shades and styles!
PLEASE some other shoe aholic come in and post to make me feel better!
exercise runners, black runners, red runners ...
blundstones, thongs, gardening shoes ...
red boots ...
2 pairs sensible work shoes, 2 pairs “bite me” work shoes, 3 pairs “are you serious?” high heels ...
2 pairs slippers, 1 pair scuffs
might be forgetting some - so maybe 20 pairs?
I'm still waiting for toomanyshoes to reply! Tehehe
I personally have 10 all up. That includes 1 pair everyday/workshoes, 1 pair trainers, 3 pairs heels (this includes one pair of "never-to-be-worn-but-super-pretty-stripper-ones", haha, yes, I have those too!), 3 pairs ballet flats, 1 pair of slippers and 1 pair of thongs. That's it.
Double post
I heart handbags!!!!!!!!!:
I just culled about 10 pairs 2 weeks ago and on last count i have 52 pairs :o
Hi, my name is Kristy and i have a shoe addiction. Pity i cant wear anything other than thongs and slippers atm while i have 40+ weeks pregnant feet :)
I even keep my shoes in their pink lily clear boxes and stacked according to heel height.
if it makes you feel better, i live in jeans and trakies so dont need to co-ordinate to much there, thongs or joggers depending on the weather and im set! yes i am oh so fasionable!! lol:
I love my jeans too - but sometimes I like to wear the cute shiny ballet flats with the buckle, or sometimes the brown patent croc skin look ones, or the black with a bow or .........choices, I like choices!
Oh, and I actually don't own any thongs! I don't really like thongs lol.
I probably have about 10 pair, but 2 of them are old wedding shoes that really need to be ditched, and another pair are a pair of white flats that I'd never be seen dead in again :)
So 7, my sneakers, my back up sneakers for when these ones fall apart, my ugg boots, my going out shoes, my steel cap boots, and my flat open toed sandals, and my heels.
:redface: my name is Jo and I have enough shoes to safely see many caterpillars through their shoe life...
I have 5 different pairs of thongs in different colours (I actually have 2 different shades of pink)
I have ballet flats x 4, sensible work shoes with support x2 , patent leather heels in black and another pair in red, 4 pairs of boots, medium sensible heels x3 , heels that are made from crome, heels that are cork, heels that are black, heels that are brown. Slip on's in tan, brown and white, black, silver....... I have more but I think you get the drift.
Mrs B26 I am so envious of your storage system!!!
6 - One pair of thongs, one pair of work shoes, one pair of joggers, one pair of silver thongs and 2 pairs of heels.
I never wear the joggers cause I have a bung toe, the silver thongs I can't walk in - not at all - and the heels I have worn twice.
So, I live in 2 pairs, thongs & work shoes :lol:
I would like more.
Yes I also have a shoe addiction... I have at least 50 pairs & I also store them in clear plastic boxes. I am Deb, I have a shoe addiction & I am anal! :hug:
My wedding shoes
Gold sandals, black sandals, LV thongs,
Adidas pink shell toes, black ballet shoes, white ballet type shoes
Ugh boots, in black, brown and hot pink with flowers ( what was I thinking? ) :)
Six pairs of different colored havaanas thongs are my addiction, I could wear them all year
Three pair of different height black high heels
Brown Pocahontas high heels , love them ;)
Silver stilettos
Chunky wedges
Knee high black boots
Comfy brown slouch boots ( fave boots )
Pink ballet shoes with pink and white flower, from boutique in st Kildare , never worn...
Worn out black ballet from same boutique...
Three pairs of ridiculous high heels, never to be worn again and about four pairs that could do with a bin...
And there are also two odd shoes
Ooooh forgot the three boxes unopened at the top of my cupboard, when I was pregnant I kept thinking I needed does and so I kept buying pairs and not realizing till I got home. I didn't want to look stupid returning them so I stashed them ;)
My name is rufalina and I have a shoe addiction. You can never have enough shoes. I probably have about 30 pairs, and the only reason there are so few, is DH keeps me culled. I cant travel without taking a dozen pairs (and that is for a weekend at my parents house). I however, am not anal with them, too lazy, they are all in the boxes they came in, if they are good, or in crates according to style for things, or flats, or runners etc... MrsB, I have visions of being so organised...I wish...
And don't ask me how many pairs I have in my filing cabinet drawers (yes multiple) at work... scary.... I wear flats to the office and change there. I have trashed too many heals on the city streets... :redface:
28 pairs, plus three that are on their way to the op shop. I don't think it's excessive.
My friend Scott's grandma always said "be prepared to spend a lot of money on your beds and your shoes. You'll spend your whole life in one or the other."
Ironically, I haven't worn any shoes in nearly 48 hours.
I am also a shoe addict, although I am currently on top of my addiction, because of finances ;) My mum helps to keep me in many shoes, she buys them for me overseas every year (we're the same size, and she has fab taste). Being a Melbournite, I have a serious boot addiction, which is a problem, because they are so expensive!
I only like 'good' shoes, I don't buys cheapies ;) (Except for my 5 pairs of Havvies :)) And I do keep my collection reasonably well culled. I probably have about 40 ATM? It is a serious problem, although one that I enjoy very much :lol:
I'm the same I like good shoes. I have shoes for a very long time... I take good care of them. I've got 3 pairs of boots -but I am lusting over a pair of fire engine red boots on sale at Imeldas... OMG. I cannot afford them so they will not be mine but oh I salivate... They are my size too!
I'm not game to count but at least 35. An array of ballet flats (black, tan, bronze silver, grey, red, leather, suede, canvas) I like choice haha. About 6 different pairs of gladiator sandals (they are all I wear in summer), again in different colours and styles. My Docs, few pairs of chuck taylors in various colours, runners, havvies, knee high boots, ankle boots, few pairs of heels. And lastly the pièce de résistance a pair of vintage platform wedges..black leather with a wooden stacked heel. They cost a small fortune and I hardly ever wear them...they are way too high and uncomfortable but so pretty.
I love shoes.
i don't have many, but i try to get well made ones. I have just thrown out two pair (soles cracked) but i got a good ten year's wear out of them so that's good. I polish the leather, to make old shoes look new again.
black boots (that i got for $5 in opshop in 2001)
slip on leather sneaker type Colorado bought in 2003
leather slides bought in 2001
that's my current crop (that i live in)
i have kept my shoes for so long, by having a selection e.g four sets of sandals, that i rotate continously in summer. This summer i only have the slides now, so need to buy myself at least one more pair of summer sandals.
sitting in the wardrobe, is a pair of black boots bought on sale (thinking they would replace my current boots, which have STILL not worn out, but have been re-heeled 2 of 3 times). so these "replacement" boots have never been out of the box.
i have a beautiful pair of white 1930's style dressy shoes, i bought them in 2003 when i thought i was getting married. they are so beautiful.
the shoes i buy, need to be wide (c-fitting), foot bed support and no skinny straps. i stopped wearing heels years ago, when a podiatrist gave me a stern talking to (i used to LIVE in stilettos). also, from what he told me, i will never wear thongs again.
I'm pretty good with shoes I only own like 6 pairs and they are all ones I wear often. I'm more a bag person.
Dh thought I had too many pairs tho, and I tried to explain to him I really didn't. It wasn't until he saw my mums collection he stopped bugging me. Mum has over 300 pairs!
Sent via my vortex manipulator (using tapatalk)
18 pairs are sitting at the front door waiting for DH to take to the op shop.
And too many to count in the wardrobe! Lol.
As for handbags....................
:
lol ummm :redface:
I have around 100ish, collected over the last 15 years and I also look after them pretty well, don't wear them around the house and they go back in their spot as soon as I come home. I have pairs that are 10 years old and look brand new.
DH use to complain about how many I have but then I worked out what he would have spent on smoking/alcohol/clubbing/his muscle car and it's very even. I've never smoked, hardly drink, etc so I think it's fair :redface:
I've also only paid retail for less than 10% of them, always wait for them to go on sale but some I didn't want to run the risk of missing out lol
