[Closed] How many pairs of shoes do you own?

...and this is why I stay off the front page.

Anything that leads to shoe polls, is witchcraft.

1 pair of trainers for work/general
1 pair of black leather shoes for weddings etc
1 pair of MTB shoes
1 pair of road shoes
1 pair of walking boots
2 pairs of flip flops (do they count as shoes?)

Not enough for a shoe pole

You must be a hip teacher at the college - DMs for work!!!! How many laces???

Only one pair of running shoes?????? Forget n+1, you need more running shoes than that!

1 winter cycling boots
1 summer cycling boots
1 roadie cycling shoes
1 pair of walking trainers
1 pair of winter walking boots
1 pair of work shoes
1 pair of wellies - I dont recall ever wearing these but must have
1 pair of sandals for that one warm day we get each year
1 pair of slippers - do they count?

Loads, 3 pairs cycling, 3 running, 3 formal, various trainers/casual/walking.

1 pair of barbour brouges, without the brogue front
1 pair of DM dealers
1 pair of scarpa rangers
1 pair of teva links

I did have some 5/10 exums until 1 hour ago, and the sole fell off.

Too many...

I'm a big girl when it comes to shoes, I've got stacks. I couldn't even begin to list them (but I'll do an overview) : mostly trainers - loads of Nike Air and Jordan variants throughout the years, numerous Etnies skate shoes, different versions of Vans, Adidas shell-toes. Magnum army boots, Timberland boots, CAT boots. Five ten Impact lo's for riding. There's more but that'll do for now

EDIT: Wish I could find some Vans Gravels to add to the list, fed up with my monstrously chunky Five Tens that hold more water than the Hoover Dam

I have about 60 pairs 😀

1 pair of trainers
1 pair of converse
1 pair of work shoes
1 pair of boots
1 pair of mtb flat shoes
1 pair of mtb spds
1 pair of road shoes
1 pair of walking boots
1 pair of wellies

That's loads more than I thought!

1 Formal

2 cycling

1 work (approach shoes)

1 approach shoes (actual approach shoes)

5 pairs of walking boots (1 current summer, 1 current winter, 3 old knackered pairs I refuse to get rid of, used on the allotment, ghyll scrambling etc.)

1 sandals

2 climbing shoes

1 pair running shoes

so - 14 pairs in all, my wife has about the same, but none of them are much use for anything…where as mine all have pretty specific uses.

You must be a hip teacher at the college - DMs for work!!!! How many laces???

They're not proper DMs, they're [url=

ones with a slightly padded ankle and just 4 holes[/url]. But I am a hip teacher, obviously 🙂

At least one member of staff has been known to wear Vibram 5-fingers for work 🙂

Only one pair of running shoes?????? Forget n+1, you need more running shoes than that!

I don't run enough to justify multiple trainers. I've just realised that I own 5 bikes and 5 pairs of shoes; that must be some sort of cosmic balance, right?

More than I thought

4 pairs of leather shoes for work (although I only wear one pair and ignore the other ones)
1 Pair of walking boots
1 pair of Doc Martins (black eight tie)
2 pairs of Merrill outdoor trainer things
1 pair of Asics running shoes
1 Pair of Nike trainers
1 Pair of ghillie brogues for wearing with kilt
2 Pairs of Specialized MTB Shoe
1 Pair of Diadora MTB shoes
1 Pair Shimano flat pedal shoes

Still loads less than my wife "Imelda" though!

Not as many as some but more than others, OTOH I have 5 pairs of cycling shoes (winter wet [and most of the year TBH], winter cold, summer, hot summer, commuting)

got a bunch of other old shoes kicking about in the bottom of wardrobe coz I'm a hoarder but v.v.rarely used.

oh if we're doing all footwear then I have 2 pairs of snowboard boots and 1 pair of skates too

I don't really own many clothes either; I'm wearing my only pair of jeans, which I wear all day every day.

far too many pairs of cycling shoes, although most are just stuck in a box in the cellar because after trying them for a month or two I decided I didn't like them.

If I count the contents of the box.

6 pairs MTB shoes
3 pairs of MTB winter boots
3 pairs of road shoes
3 pairs of running shoes
3 pairs casual shoes
2 pairs casual trainers
1 pair sandals
1 pair hiking boots

I have also thrown quite a few cycling shoes away, the ones I do have left are the ones I could wear without pain if I had to.

3 pairs work shoes
2 pairs trainers
1 pair boots
2 pairs cycling shoes (1spd, 1road)
5 pairs running shoes

And people thought I was a little excessive!

From memory:
5 pairs shoes
2 pairs boots
1 pair wellies
4 pairs trainers
3 pair cycling shoes
1 pair football boots
1 pair sandals

Was thinking that was a lot, but looking at some of your posts, maybe not.

1 pair general trainers/approach shoes
1 pair brown leather ankle boots
1 pair rigger boots
1 pair black leather work shoes
1 pair brown leather work shoes
1 pair [s]smelly[/s] biohazard standard sport sandals

and
1 pair mtb shoes
2 pairs of road shoes
4 or 5 pairs of climbing shoes
1 pair winter walking boots

BUT I regard the last 8pairs as sports equipment, so they don't really count for purposes of the front page survey 😉

- 3 pairs of work shoes
- 3 pairs of Puma trainers
- 2 pairs of Sketchers trainers
- off road running shoes
- road running shoes
- 2 pairs of S-Works MTB shoes

That's 19 pairs, I'm actually quite surprised by that!

some of you lot are like women...... 😆

DrJ, only the good ones get the cedar treatment! (And yes, it's worth doing! One pair of Oxfords is about twenty years old now. From Oxford as well, as it happens.)

Hmmm...

Absolute madness, you lot are like ladies. I have:

1 pair black shoes,
1 pair running trainers,
1 pair decent walking boots (Need cleaning),
1 pair of holey walking boots for gardening,
1 pair Nikes that have just got holes in the soles 🙁
1 pair £20 canvas 5:10s from PSA that I now use all the time due to holes above
1 pair £26 Teva links from yesterdays PSA on their way to me

I am staggered by this. Some of you lot are clearly running an n plus 1 rule for shoes. I like to think I'm running a 1 in, 1 out system as I've on about 6 pairs for years.

DD, it's probably a lot easier for you to store lots of shoes, though. Don't take up as much space! 😉

42/43...like the UK average Flashy. Most of my horizontal efforts went where it's important.

I have a massive nose.

27
I am not going to list them ,but 8 are cycling related 😳

Step 1 is to build a massive workshop / shoe store.....

Know any good brickies?

Pair of goretex salomon gutties
Pair of asics runners
Pair of brown boots
Pair of black dress shoes
Pair of mockasin type shoes aswell, but I never wear them, the sole is too thin and hurts me if i walk anymore than half a mile in them.

I'll generally wear these until there are holes in them and them buy new.

Blimey!

Of my five pairs, two are knackered and need replacing, one was from a charity shop, and one is permanently muddy. The other pair are flip flops.

I've just realised that I'm going to have to buy a new pair of shoes then next time someone dies or gets married.

In order of height:

1 pair of Sorel 1964 Premiums in Tabacco
1 pairs of worn-out brown leather boots
1 pair of brown leather Caterpillar Abe boots
1 pairs of smart brown leather boots
1 pair of Converse hi-tops
1 pair of Gore-Tex Salomons (for biking)
1 pair of cheap Salomons
1 pair of black vans
1 pair of white vans
1 pair of Airwalks
1 pair of Duffs (or Etnies, not sure)
1 pair of Deklines
1 pair of slippers (do they count?)
1 pair of flip flops

Is this actually happening? Oh well WTF:

Each below is obviously one pair.

Sport
x1 running trainers
x1 old running trainers for MTB all year round
x1 football boots studs
x1 football boots studs spare
x1 football boots moulded
x1 football boots moulded spare
x1 football indoor
x1 walking boots
x1 squash/tennis trainers

Casual
x1 trainers

gardening
x2 old trainers

work
x2 shoes (1 pair to left at work for commuting days)

home
x1 slippers

summer
x1 Havaianas

16 in total, I could probably get rid of one pair, but all others serve a purpose.

Easily over 100 pairs, some of which I've never worn and some are the wrong size

[i]some of you lot are like women...... [/i]

You need to try much harder, Hun *kisses*

Hang on, let me think...

1x pair brown brogues
1x pair black oxfords
1x pair Merrell approach shoes
1x pair Merrell walking boots
1x pair running shoes (road)
1x pair running shoes (trail)
3x pair boots assault, combat high
1x pair brown oxfords
2x pairs wellies

Do flip flops count too?

willard: Not a single pair of cycling shoes?

Hmmm, I have somewhere north of 60 pairs.

In my defence I get given a lot of shoes for free from suppliers through work which is nice. But it also means that I never wear any out as the wear is spread over so many pairs. This means that they rarely get to the stage of getting thrown away.

Just checked - Oh dear. 😀

a pair of nondescript grey and brown fashion shoes that I haven't got round to binning yet.

have you guys actually gone and catalogued them all, or is this from memory ?

If the latter, I'm impressed 🙂

as far as I can remember :

2 pairs work shoes
2 or 3 pairs brown work/casual
more than 2 but less than 5 pairs of trainers

bike :

2 pairs mtb
1 pair road
1 pair velodrome
1 pair defrosters 🙂

and some slippers !!!

have you guys actually gone and catalogued them all, or is this from memory ?

If the latter, I'm impressed

Memory. But mainly because I wear them all with reasonable regularity (work shoes on rotation, though one pair of the Paul Smiths have now developed cracks in the leather - that's why I have two pairs!).

This thread has cheered me up.

22 I think

3 x smart / formal shoes
4 x casual shoes
2 x walking trainers
3 x casual trainers
1 pair road running shoes
4 x fell running shoes
2 x cycling shoes
2 x hiking boots
2 x rock climbing shoes
3 x sandals / flip flops

So 25 pairs, I've probably missed a couple of pairs but by my reckoning thats about £2000 tied up in shoes.
