How many pairs of shoes?

[Renard]

3 pairs of shoes (black leather).
2 Pairs of trainers (merrell and adidas samba).
2 pairs of cycling shoes (shimano for the road; northwave for the mountain bike)
2 pairs of walking boots (brasher for normal weather; hanwag for ice/crampons)

 

[summerdays]

I was in the wardrobe earlier today and noticed a pair of espadrilles that have gone un-counted In my defence I must state it is more because I have a problem throwing things out ... keeping things just in case, rather than because I buy loads every year. And I don't buy the ultra expensive shoes/boots - maximum I will spend is £60 and they would have to be boots to pay that price (I wait for sales bargains instead).

You can tell I feel guilty though can't you - trying to defend this hoard!

 

[snapper_37]

1 pair berghaus walking shoes
1 pair northface walking shoes
1 pair columbia walking shoes (my favourites)
1 pair adidas trainers
3 pair nike trainers
1 pair sketchers
3 pairs of going out boots
2 pairs work shoes
2 pairs of ART shoes
1 pair wellies
1 pair slazenger sandals
2 pairs flip flops
1 pair cannondale spds
1 pair nike spds

Blimey, it's only when I've thought about it that I realise how many shoes I've got and how many I haven't worn for ages.

When we were young, we didn't have shoes.....actually we didn't even have socks

You have rock hard feet,so dont complain

 

[Nihal]

So i have the least

1 pair of sneakers
1 pairs of Reebok running shoes
1 pair of really worn out but paper weight trainers
1 black Adidas shoes(useful for nothing,it's like wearing a rock)
And to add to that:1 pair of those weird footfall shoes

This has to be the saddest thread ever. When you find yourself participating in a discussion about how many pairs of shoes you own you might as well give up.

Twelve pairs. Ten of which I rarely - if ever - wear.

 

[Pennine-Paul]

1x Cycling Shoes
1x Converse boots
1x Doc Martens
1x New Rock Boots (Gothic boots for the uninitiated)
That's it......................................
