    How many pairs of shoes do you have?

    Apparently I'm a shoe addict. I'm in a certain place in Egypt known as "De Nial". My DF (Dear Father, don't get too excited!) has banned me from buying any more shoes.

    Just out of curiousity, how many pairs of shoes do you have? Including sandals and slippers, but NOT thongs... (I detest things between my toes, but we aren't going there!)

    And how many do you wear on a regular basis?

    I have about 50 pairs of all types - I have no thongs either for the same reason as you!

    I don't have many at all, maybe half a dozen. I have a pair of casual shoes plus runners, hiking boots, a couple of pairs of nice shoes that I can wear with trousers and one pair of heels...

    Well, if thongs can't be counted...I'm down to 1 pair of Sketchers. That's it.

    I hate shoes.

    Other than my Haviana's !

    I have 3 pairs in regular wear. My boots every day in winter, my birkens every day in summer and my five fingers when I work out.
    I own about 10 other pairs but I wear the first 3 I mentioned 95% of the time.
    I didn't count my pink uggish slippers that I wear every night in winter.

    One pair of shoes
    One pair of sandels
    One pair of slippers
    One pair of hiking boots

    Not a shoe person and way too tight to buy more than is absolutely necessary.

    My shoe wardrobe:

    1 pair mum trainers (pink and floral, useless for serious sports but can't find a sports pair)
    2 pairs flat courts, one black one gold
    4 pairs sandles: flat sandles in greyish colour; white sandles with wedge heel; black sandles, 5" stiletto; very silly black sandles, 4" stiletto, with laces that wrap from ankle to knee.
    1 pair 3" thin heels in coral
    1 pair 4" thick heels in dove grey (they are gorgeous!)
    1 pair walking boots
    1 pair flat black ankle boots
    4 pairs heeled ankle boots - 2" gold suede, loose fitting, 4" brown lace-ups, 4" black zip (calf-length really) and 3" black zip stiletto
    1 pair black PVC knee-high 5" stiletto heel

    So 16 pairs all up. I would be a shoe person if (a) they were less expensive and (b) they came in my size more often. I wear them according to season and all have been worn in the last year. Outside the house too - the knee-high are great under some boot-cut jeans or with a calf-length skirt. Although I do have to pick where I wear them.

    I commonly wear the ankle boots, grey heels, flat courts for driving and the white sandles.

    If i had to guess i would say around 30 pairs.

    I however get around mostly in thongs but if its raining/too cold i will wear flats or my work shoes. I only wear my runners when im exercising. So the rest are heels, wedges, boots and sandals.

    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.
