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

You should buy some wellies

Just one really special pair.

I've no idea but it's no where near the amount the OP has.

13 pairs of running shoes! Why?

Cycling shoes - spd 7, spd-sl 6

Other shoes - about 6 or 7

Just one really special pair.

Liar.

What about the slippers that you wear to piss in the garden?

13 pairs of running shoes! Why?

We are way past any logic here, though i will try.
2 pairs of trail shoes - 1 for really muddy stuff, 1 for firmer ground.
5 pairs of Nike Pegasus 34's - 1 shield waterproof pair, 1 pair that are basically worn out, 1 pair in their prime, 2 pairs that I bought dirt cheap in the sale as this model has now been discontinued.
1 pair Nike Pegasus 35's that I don't really like but are to good to throw away
1 pair Asics Cumulus that are lovely soft things that are great for recovery runs and not much else
1 pair ON CloudFlyer that I've never got on with and so are relegated to gym work
3 pairs various other models that I've not gone on with and are relegated to casual wear

probably too many but I tend to keep old shoes until they hole, hang or both. Sensible ppl would probably own 1 x pair of trainers unless competitive multi-terrain athlete.

8 pairs

2 dress shoes (for weddings funerals and interviews)
1 pair casual shoes because comfort
2 x training shoes
1 x Crocs for slippers etc
1 x waterproof walking boots

😃 @ Perchy!

In reality, however...
Bike x 5
Running x 2
Walking shoes/boots x 3
Tennis x 2
Squash x 1
Water shoes x 1
Wellies x 2
Flip flops x 3

3x nice trainers
2x grubby old trainers
1x reasonably tidy boots kept at work
1x nice autumn/winter boots
1x dress shoes
1x cool suede Clarks

one of the pairs of 'nice trainers' has just developed a hole by the little toe, so they will soon be relegated to 'grubby old trainers'.

Hmmm....probably more than I realise.

Smart Shoes:
1 pair under my desk at work (>6yrs old)
2 pairs at home that barely get worn (one pair about 10 years old & the other 3 years or so)

1 pair of Hi-Tec hiking boots (~13 yrs old)
1 pair of Dunlop wellies (~6 years old and purchased for the 24:12)
1 pair of Primark slippers (~two years old & quite pongy)

Meh, you count them...

I’ve got another pile, just as big, upstairs.

If i count all the brand new unworn pairs boxed at the back of the wardrobe, bought in the sales as the next pair, then I have a LOT less...I probably don' need to buy shoes for 10 to 15 years!
In use...still too many.
1 pair each of chainsaw boots, standard wellies, steel toe cap work boots, flip flops, slippers, bike shoes, trainers, converse, 2 x brown leather smart shoes with leather sole, black smart with leather sole, black smart with rubber sole.

count the spares and well...over twice as many I'm sure.

I'm as bad with coats...I don't need to buy another coat so long as I don't change shape!

one pair of spd bike shoes, two pairs of trainers, that's it.

and one pair of so called tent/bothy type slippers.

It has become clear she thinks I have a shoe habit
...
My count looks like this:
Running shoes – 13 pairs

I would concur with her.

1 pair Nike Pegasus 35’s that I don’t really like but are to good to throw away

What are you planning on doing with them?

Lunge – you have more pairs of trainers than i do all of my shoes totalled! Where do you keep them all?

I'm lucky in that I have a big cupboard in my bedroom where I added some racking that means they all fit nicely. There cycling shoe live in the garage.

Casual trainers – 7 pairs
...
Casual shoes/boots – 4 pairs.
...
3 pairs various other models that I’ve not gone on with and are relegated to casual wear

So 14 pairs of casual footwear.

wow.

Then again...

1x Work shoes at work
1x Gym shoes at work
1x Road SPDs by turbo, rarely worn
2x road SPDs, one new one old
2x mtb/xbike SPDs
2x 5.10 flats, one new one beaters

1x sandals
2x slip on trainers used as slippers
various other decorating shoes
decent DMd I'm aware are in my boys rooms but no desire to go in and search.
1 pair reef shoes
2x wetsuit boots
many pairs knackered wetsuit boots
probably some flippers somewhere

So yeah OP, you have a problem. So, it would appear, do I. 40ish?

Thing is past a certain point you buy stuff faster than it falls apart, so it (literally) piles up.

So 14 pairs of casual footwear.

Correct, but they're different uses in my head, hence splitting them.
Casual trainers are things like Converse
Casual shoes are generally leather but not smart enough to wear for work
3 others are old running shoes that are worn casually as I don't like running in them.

All worn on different occasions.

Let's see. I have:

A pair of Salomon approach shoes, worn daily.
An old pair of the above, used when I'm likely to get them filthy (primarily on the bike).
Black Hush Puppies for work.
Brown brogues bought for my wedding day, probably worn twice since.
A pair of Berkies for summer.
A pair of sandals for bumming around the house in.
An ancient pair of Doc Martens which get used occasionally for things like decorating (I'm 99% sure they're actually my old school shoes).
A pair of New Rock boots from my (rock) clubbing days, used for the odd gig these days but they're uncomfortable so that's not very often.
A pair of supermarket-special Converse-a-likes which I bought because I fancied trying something different, not worn very often because the soles are like paper.
Two pairs of rock-climbing shoes (a comfy pair for general use and a painful but more technical pair for the tricksy stuff).
A pair of running shoes (Brooks Vapor 3 if anyone cares) in toxic green and silver. Why does no-one decent make black ones any more FFS?
Oh, almost forgot, Berghaus walking boots.

So that's 13 I think, all with different purposes.

2 x uniform work shoes
2 x wellies
1 x dog walking boots
1 x walking boots
2 x flat mtb shoes
3 x spd shoes
1 x running shoes
1 x trail running shoes
1 x timberland leather ankle trainer things.
2 x chelsea boots
6 x pairs of brogue's
3 x pairs of loafers
1 x brogue boots
1 x leather Chelsea boot/ winter soles
1 x suede desert boots
1 x deck shoes
1 x chukka boots
1 x walking sandal things
2 x Oxford shoes
1 x leather sneakers
1 x converse.

I do know I have an issue.

30odd replies, hundreds of pairs of shoes listed and no-one's admitting to owning golf shoes?

I take it this is a minimal administrative process rather than full declaration?

christ, I thought I was bad but clearly I'm an amateur.

1 x duck boots for walking the dogs.
1 x hiking boots
1 x cycling shoes
1 x wellies
1 x birkenstocks
2 x summer shoe things from Trunk Clothiers. I usually get about 1 summer out of these and then in the bin. Bought two pairs this year and they're both good for next year as a result.
2 x NB MT101s for running.
2 x barefoot things for yoga.
1 x smart boots for work.
4 x smart work shoes (1 country brogue, 1 x wholecut oxford, 1 x derby and 1 x half-brogue).

..and about 3 pairs of old trainers for knocking about doing DIY etc in. Oh, and some wetsuit boots.

I did a rough count from memory and got to 41. There's probably some that I've forgotten.

A fair few of those are duplicates of shoes I like for when the current ones wear out.

My plan is that when I've bought all the things I could possibly need for the rest of my life, I can retire.

5 x pairs of Vivo Barefoot shoes in various guises.
1 x pair of Vibram Five Fingers.
1 x pair of Merrell Trail Gloves.
1 x pair of climbing shoes.
1 x pair of Five Tens for flats.
1 x pair of Specialized MTB SPD.

I’ve been thinking of whittling that down, but now I’m starting to feel under stocked compared to most of you. Vivo shoes are ruddy expensive too. Luckily they last ages. Can’t wear normal shoes now though as they are just either plain uncomfortable or feel very odd.

I'll try:

Work:
Office winter - chelsea boot
Office summer - deck shoes
Worksite - steel toe caps

Leisure:
5:10 approach shoes
Flip flops
Black dress shoes

Cycle:
5.10 free rider (x2)
Mavic SPD
Post cycle muddy driving shoes (old running shoes sans laces)

Other Sport:
Running shoes
Walking boots
Footy cleats
Astro shoes
Cricket spikes
climbing shoes
ski boots
beach rubber shoes

I think that's 18

I'm a shoe lightweight by these standards:-

Bike shoes x2 (only because I've just replaced them and haven't thrown the old ones away yet)
Casual trainers x1 (all I ever wear from spring-autumn)
Slippers x1
Hiking boots x1 (winter use only)
wellies x1 (but never wear them)
ski boots x1

3x pairs cycling shoes (2x shoes, 1x GTX boots).
2x pairs sandals/slippers (forgot them one year skiing and had to buy another set for the chalet)
1x Pair lifting shoes (raised heel)
1x Pair CF shoes (Nanos)
1x Pair cheap gym shoes
2x Pairs GTX walking boots (one winter, one summer)
2x Pairs 5.10 Approach shoes
2x Pairs Salomon trainers
1x Pair wellies in shed somewhere with a family of mice living in them
2x Pairs dress shoes
1x Pair vaguely smart boots
1x Pair casual shoes
1x Pair ski boots

So 20 pairs in total I think..

Wife has probably over 50 pairs, if not more.

Does seem very excessive, I must give some to the local Charity shop....

A pair of 'approach' shoes that do for bike commuting, dog walking, cycling, if it's wet, gardening, etc.
A pair on Vans.
A pair of Tom's boots for work.
A worn out pair of DMs.
A pair of running shoes for running.
An old pair of running shoes that live at work for at-work exercise things.
An old pair of approach shoes that live by the back door as communal garden shoes.
A pair of 'posh' shoes for weddings, christenings, etc.

So, eight.

About 40 - I have some golf shoes

Six pairs of Vans, down from about 10 pairs.

Three pairs of Adidas trainers - Samba, Superstar and Stan Smith.

Three pairs of walking boots, three pairs of cycling shoes (road, off road, touring) a pair of Crocs and a pair of wellies.

Three or four pairs of Clarkes, for work, court, weddings and funerals.

I agree with kayak23, OP is Imelda Marcos and I claim my £5.

12.

Worn always:

2 x Merrell Vapor glove 3s

Worn for activities:

1 x ‘gravel’ (woo!) spds
1 x Salwa snow boots
1 x gumboots
1 x crocs

Worn rarely nowadays:

1 x patent leather dress (shoes!)
1 x tan brogues
1 x brown monks
3 x black oxfords

I had a bit of a clear out the other week and got it down to 58 pairs upstairs, I'm not counting the half dozen or so walking boots/work boots/wellies in the porch racks, but I'm half looking for some new Chelsea boots for the winter and some of those soft loafer/driving shoe type things for warmer climes. I didn't think I had a problem. From memory:

2 pairs of 'best' boots (patent DMs, Underground winklepickers)
1 pair of weird Skechers platform boots
1 pair of ghillie brogues
2 pairs of work dealer boots (DMs just about worn out, new pair of Dickies - I'm a fan of workwear in an 'office' environment)
2 pairs of 'nice ' trainers (black on black Adidas Coast Stars and some old school DCs)
1 pair of not so nice trainers (canvas 5:10)
3 pairs of MTB shoes (5:10 Freerider, O'Neal Pinned Pro, Shimano 'hiking' MTB boot - older equivalent of the XM9)

1 pair of 'snow' dog walking boots from ALdi (kind of fur lined welly/gaiter hybrid things)
1 pair of Vibram Five Fingers
1 pair of sliders for going to the bins
1 pair of nike football boots somewhere

I’m lucky in that I have a big cupboard in my bedroom where I added some racking that means they all fit nicely

That doesn't sound lucky to me, 147 pairs of used shoes kept next to your bed, full of win that mate. :o)

Jesus, I didn't realise most of you were women!

2x smart/work shoes, one brown, one black.
2x walking boots /shoes also double as riding /winter use.

You're (mostly) all bloody weird.

Two pairs of brown.

One of black.

Some for running.

Some for walking.

Some grubby ones.

Slippers.

And anyone that wears brogues is not to be trusted.

Jeez, look how many shoes you nutters have.
1x adidas superstar
1x etnies kingpin
1x wedding/funeral/interview normal shoes.

Total of 19 pairs including everything from ski boots to wellies and golf shoes. About 4 of aforementioned pairs are on their very last legs. God knows how many of you have the time to wear all the shoes you have.

God knows how many of you have the time to wear all the shoes you have.

I genuinely feel bad about how many I have.

I genuinely feel bad about how many I have.

Yep, me too.

But equally, as I look at my list I also think there are few if any I'd want rid of.

Thought I was on mumsnet for a minute....
2 pairs posh brogues ,
3 pairs desert boots ,
3 pairs spd disco slippers,
2 pairs winter spd boots ,
1 pair walking boots ,
2 pairs "approach" shoes ,
3 pairs trainers,
2 pairs steel toe/sole boots,
1 pair sandals , 1 pair wellies,
& 1 pair of sliders & footie boots. Crikey .

3 pairs of cycling shoes depending on bike/pedals being used.
2 pairs of running shoes, one for road one for off.
2 pairs of old running shoes for gyming, one pair at home one under the desk at work.
1 pair of old trail running shoes used for MTB'ing on flats.
1 pair of brand new still-in-box running shoes bought in the sale waiting for the current pair to retire.
2 pairs of walking boots.

1 pair of golf shoes.
2 pairs of posh work/Wedding/funeral/bar mitzvah shoes, one pair at home one pair under the desk at work.

So I'd say I'm normal, except maybe for the golf shoes.

Black Loakes smart
Brown Jones smart
Hi-Tec walking boots
Timberland boots
Mizuno running
Mizuno table tennis
Timberland deck shoes
2 pairs of flip-flops (on heavy rotation all year round)

How do some of you have less than 10 pairs of shoes? I have more pairs of sports shoes than that;
3x gym/weightlifting shoes
3x football/rugby boots
2x running trainers
1x squash/court shoe
1x Spesh 2FO 1.0
2x clip-ins (MTB + road)
1x golf shoes
1x hillwalking boots

Not to mind the formal and casual shoes and boots; roughly 20 pairs. Once your feet stop growing, why not invest in good quality footwear for all occasions. Its all about contact points remember.

Holy, holy, shit.

58 pairs

..and that was *after* a clear out?!

Are some of these answers really genuine?

At any one time, I usually only have:

1x pair of Quiksilver flip-flops which, to be fair, I wear most of the year (these get replaced when necessary).
1x pair of trail runners from Decathlon which cover running/biking/anything else that requires trainers (these get replaced when necessary).
1x pair of Converse for some work stuff, client meetings, and, erm... weddings (these get replaced when necessary although I sometimes replace them earlier if I need something extra smart :o) ).
1x pair of bombproof North Face winter boots which only come out a few times a year (which I don't think will ever need to be replaced).

I honestly can't see any reason for owning more than that.

Er, I'm absolutely the opposite. Edit - apart from ambientcoast, I like his style, especially the Converse for best. 😁

1x pair of brown boots.
1x pair of trainers.
1x pair of MTB SPD's
1x pair of road SPD's (free, didn't pay for them)
1x pair of wellies.
1x pair of old trainers for gardening or other dirty jobs.

So six, still more than the number of bikes I own.

1 pair walking boots
1 pair trainers
1 pair posh black
1 pair of slippers
1 pairs of strappy heels for the weekend

1 pairs of strappy heels for the weekend

🤣🤣
Have to say, it is a little bit worrying how many people don't own a pair of cycling shoes!

1 x smart pair (basically just funerals these days).
1 x smart kilt pair.
Several casual.

2 cycling
1 hillwalking boots
1 wellies
3 casual
1 smart
2 general trainers/running

Bike
Sidi road shoes
Giro road shoes
Giro mtb
Mavic mtb
Northwave waterproof mtb

Too many, need a clear out. One pair of smart shoes for suit days - even these are vaguely boot like. Two pairs smart boots. Half a dozen pairs walking dozen boots / wellies. Half a dozen pairs trainers / walking trainers. Four pairs spd mtb boots / shoes. Two pairs ski boots - one down hill and one touring. Two pairs of hut slippers for general paddling about the place.

Chukka boots
Timberlands
Smart blacks
Smart browns
Older browns
Loafers
Deck shoes
Sailing boots
Casual trainer
Running trainers
Wellies
Summer riding shoes
Winter riding shoes
Flip flops
Ski boots?
Merrel walking trainers
Site steels
Factory steels

So ‘only’ 18 pairs - and a frightening amount of money!

Probably 75 pair plus.
But a) I am old b) I can’t be arsed to count them.

I have no real idea, but I know there’s four pairs of Meindl Desert Fox boots, one pair really well worn, midsole starting to go, one pair might need resoling soon, and two pairs barely worn, a pair of 5:10 bike shoes, a pair of 5:10 skate-type shoes, a pair of German Paratrooper boots, which I was wearing earlier today, a pair of Muckboots, several pairs of Vans of indeterminate vintage, a pair of Teva sandals I bought in LA in 1993, a pair of Dr Martens black brogues for smarter wear, a pair of Meindle Canadian-style winter boots, my work steelies, and a bunch of old shoes stuffed away that could well do with being sorted and disposed of.
None of the above are new, the newest are probably two or three years old, some, like the 5:10’s are probably closer to ten or twelve!
