How many shoes do you own?

[Sherri]

I would say about 14, but only where about 7 pairs of them.

 

[SplshMtnLvr28]

Uhh I think like 15 pairs.

 

[MUFFYCAT]

Incuding sneakers I would say about 35, but I only use 4 of them.

Plus I have 6 pairs under my desk that I never use.
Because you never know when I may need them?

Offhand...2 pairs of black Converse Chuck Taylors, 3 pairs of black granny boots, 1 pair of blue suede boots, 1 pair of black suede and lace mary janes, 1 pair of black "gothic" mary janes (for job interviews)...

1 pair of black faux-reptile sandals with a big black rose at the toe...2 pairs of black flip-flops...1 pair of suede black Isaac Mizrahi sandals that I got at Marshalls for $15 (they still had the $350 price tag attached, too!)...

I probably have others that I don't wear, so I can't think of them right now.

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

I have about 40 pair. A girl can never have enough shoes you know. That includes my flip flop collection.

 

[F1Julie]

Last time I cleaned out my closet, I had 47 I think. Now I'm probably up to about 53 pairs. I love shoes.

 

[SandraVB79]

about 70 pairs, which makes about 140 shoes. And some days, I still don't find a pair that fits my outfit!

My husband wouldn't get that but I do. Certain outfits need just the right shoe. Do you have anything you could wear with these?

 

[LisaNJ25]

Only 3.. I really need to buy myself a few pairs and stop buying for the kids.

 

[MagicalMom]

I really don't have a clue. I think I'm afraid to go count them too!

 

[SandraVB79]

Grumpy's wife: I have outfits to go with every elegant feminine pair of shoes known to (wo)mankind!

Close to 70 and that is after donating 20 pair to Goodwill this month. I took about 20 pair to Goodwill a couple of months ago too.

Out of the 70 at least 25 are black.

 

[Golf4food]

How many shoes or how many pairs? Because if you want individual shoes just double the number below...

1 pair shiny black tuxedo shoes (I'm a musician, gotta have 'em)
1 pair brown dress shoes
1 pair tennis shoes
1 pair sandals
1 pair black golf shoes (that double as normal black dress shoes if I take the spikes out...)
1 pair white & brown saddle golf shoes

So 6 pairs (or 12 shoes...)

I think 6 pair is pushing the limit of the maximum number of shoes that any straight guy should own.

 

[CEDmom]

I'd say somewhere around 20. I only wear a few though on a regular basis.

 

[CheshireVal]

I have close to 100 if you count flip-flops. If those don't count, probably 85ish. Just a rough estimate.

 

[BeNJeNWaFFLe]

Probably between 30-40 pairs. I have never counted though. Because then I couldn't tell myself that I don't have enough and I need more! Oh, I'm going to pass by DSW and the mall today, I might have to make a trip inside!

And some days, I still don't find a pair that fits my outfit!

That is so true. I have shoes that only go with one outfit. Then I have outfits that I just can't find shoes to match. It is very complicated, men will never understand.
I have two black and pink cocktail dresses. I bought a pair of pink shoes to match one of them. Then when I got the second dress DBF couldn't understand why those pink shoes didn't match the pink in the second dress and why I was going on a rampage trying to find shoes to match. He doesn't get that not all pink is the same.

 

[pkasbohm]

to many to admit...

I think you have to many when you are looking for a pair to wear and you come across a couple of pairs you forgot you had!

 

[U2_rocks!]

Hmmm.... let's see .....

- about 7 pairs of typical work shoes (navy, black, brown, flats & heels)
- about 4 pairs of dressy shoes
- about 4 pairs of more casual shoes
- about 3 pairs of flips-flops
- 2 pairs of sneakers - one good pair for running, one black stylish pair for just walking around
- 1 pair of ankle boots with a low enough heel that I can ride in them occasionally, but they're nice enough to wear out
- 1 pair of moccasin type shoes

I also have a pair of jazz dance shoes on the way.

So, that's about 23 pairs of shoes. Of all of those I probably wear about 8 of them very often, about 7 of them sometimes, and about 6 of them hardly ever!

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Probably about 20 pairs if I had to guess. I'd feel silly to actually go and count them.
