Soooo.... How many is too many?

[Tak]

I have quite a few pairs but generally am in either work boots or trainers

I will of course give a loving home to any that people wish to buy for me

Don't you guys have flippies too?

Picky has man-sandals. But I like flippies. Flippies ftw!

I've got:

1 pair smart black
1 pair smart brown
1 pair everyday brown
1 pair white Faux Allstars
1 pair garage trainers (utterly filthy)
1 pair steel toe DMs for workshop (clean but safe)
1 pair flipflops
1 unworn left foot black Allstar just in case

[Pumpkinstew]

1 pair of dress shoes (slip ons) for use with penguin suit
1 pair smart shoes for meetings
1 pair semi smart for everyday work (used to be but have been well worn)
1 pair reinforced toe cap (for bovvering )
1 pair walking shoes
2 pair trainers (both trashed)
1 another pair of walking shoes (cheap ones, to spare the good ones)
1 another cheap pair that are still covered in mud from quad biking last summer
1 pair rugby boots (servicable)
1 pair rugby boots (beyond repair, but ready for emergency use)
1 pair sandals

11 pairs. More than I would've guessed once I come to write it down.
I have a bad habit of trashing shoes within 2 months of owning them though so I generally need backups for when a pair fall to bits.

Hadn't really thought about it before...

1 pair River Island everyday use.
1 pair brown Italian leather fashion shoes.
1 pair standard black leather.
1 pair black leather ankle boots.
2 pairs of running shoes which I alternate.
1 pair slippers.
1 pair Reebok sandals.
1 pair Salomon walking boots.
1 pair white fashion trainers that I've worn about twice (can't remember the brand).

So about 10 I guess, of which three or four are worn regularly, the rest being for quite specific events/times of year.

Tis Faysh,

One pair work boots (Magnum Elite Spiders, the comfiest boots evaaar)
One pair of ex-work boots vanilla Magnums.
One pair black Lonsdale trainers - current everyday shoes.
One pair black and red Nike Airs - previous everyday shoes.
One pair of brown leather smart(-ish) trainers.
One pair of black "going out" shoes for wearing avec suit.

There's also about 5 old pairs of trainers that act as gardening/work shoes.

You can really, and this coming for someone with a lot of shoes. There is only so many you will ever wear, you get to a point where you realise you haven't worn that pair in the corner in over a year. That is when it is time to stuff them on ebay and start building up the funds for the new pair, rinse and repeat (although not the shoes they tend not to like that). Its like a life cycle.

I have:

Dress shoes for work
Smart boots when trainers are no good
Running trainers (which tbh never really get used as often as they should)
Comfortable pair of sketchers
Red Converse All Stars
Black Converse All Stars
Navy Blue Converse All Stars
Black Converse All Stars with playing cards on the side
Black Converse All Stars with skull and crossbones on the side
Pair of scabby trainers for walking the dogs/working in the garden

Need to pick up a good pair of waterproof boots this weekend really.
