About 40 I love shoes and even with my wonky large feet I still find it easier to find shoes that fit and look good compared to trying on clothes.
Must admit my heels don't get worn very often at all these days, don't get the opportunity.
My new favourites are my naturaliser wide calf, flat heeled boots.
I have 1pair knee high heeled boots, 1 flat ankle boots, 1x knee high flat boots, 4x ballet flats, work shoes, runners, 4 pair flat sandals, 7 x wedges, gumboots, rest are various heeled shoes
I have:
2 pairs of high heels (that never get worn but won't throw out as I love them anyway!)
1 pair of Emily Strange boots (that I have never worn thanks to muscular calves that even at 40kg lighter I can't get rid of).
2 pairs of runners (exactly the same, one is old and now only kept for mowing etc)
1 pair of work shoes (that only get replaced when absolutely vital. At the moment they are $60 Grosbys. Totally comfy)
I might have a pair of Chucks in there but I think I got rid of them. Only been worn once anyway!
I didn't count my ski boots, my wellies, or my fishing shoes (which are now running around mayaness's creek shoes)
I also need a pair of knee high boots (I have over the knee lace up boots but want shorter, slip on ones) and I need at least 2 pairs of docs. Next year I will also need some riding boots & more running shoes.
5 pairs ballet flats
4 pairs sandals/thongs( ok you said no things but these are leathery flower ones that count right? If not then 3!
2 pairs of Asics
3 casual runners , puma type, sands goes and Keds!
2 pairs heeled wedges, brown and black
2 pairs boots knee high, black and brown
1 pair crocs for gardening
Gumboots
Many havianas but not counting them!
Ok so roughly 20ish! That doesn't count a few pairs of shoes I don't wear but still have floating around like silver bridesmaid shoes!

2 pr of summer sandals (that i wear constantly in summer)
1 pr fancy shoes (that i bought when i THOUGHT i was getting married, back in 2003, never wear, cannot bear to part with). Gorgeous shoes. They were to get married in. Classy, thirties style mary jane with a heel.
1 pair sneakers i bought in 2001, that hurt my feet so i don't wear them much, feel like i SHOULD have one pair of sneakers, so i keep them.
1 pair slip on sort of sneakers, that i wear virtually every day in winter, bought in 2002, really should toss them. Colorado has gone bust, i can't replace them.
1 pair black boots that i got in 2000 from opshop, have resoled and reheeled them twice, i used to wear them in winter alot, before separation, now i rarely wear them, so comfy.
i find shoe shopping so scarey, they're so expensive, i'm scared of buying a lemon, so i put it off, for much longer than i should. There are so many dodgy shoes out there. Shoes that look great on top, but have slippery soles. I wrecked my feet in my early 20's (living in stilettos back then) so now i have to be careful, no more heels for me.
1 ankle boots
1 sneakers (need new as toe is starting to stick out through the top)
1 Colorado sneakers (which I should toss as they have a terrible squeak, but haven't been able to find anything to replace them with)
6 ballet style
3 heels (work/going out)
2 bridesmaid shoes (may or may not wear again, but like too much to toss)
6 thong style (with flowers, jewels, heel etc)
So that's 20 (gosh!)
The of course slippers, gardening sneakers, gumboots and a couple of Havainas. And steel caps.
lol I was going to say I'm not a shoe person (anymore ) but after reading all the replies....turns out I still am.
More than 20. Various coloured casual sneakers, runners x2, high and low heeled boots in different leathers, sandals and ballets in various colours/patterns/styles, heels etc.
More than 12 in regular rotation including my birkies.
A couple that I hang onto for old times sake (a pair of hot pink Midas snakeskin wedge sandals and dragonfly diamonte wedding shoes)
Well, see I would only include in the count the ones I wear regularly as the others are ones that I've had for ages, don't wear and should go to the opp shop. That's my line and I'm sticking to it
So:
five pairs of boots
one pair sneakers
one pair Converse
two pairs flats
four pairs sandals
Apart from that, I have 10-20 pairs of shoes/boots that were either mistakes or shoes that I used to wear a lot, are no longer fashionable but I can't bear to part with.
