Soooo.... How many is too many?

[Flibster]

Shoes... Mens shoes.
Given the trainer thread, I thought I'd ask this question.

How many pairs of shoes is too many pairs of shoes for a man to own?

I'm not going to reveal how many I have at the moment...but I think it may be too many.

I know nothing about men's shoes. I personally keep pictures of my shoe collection on my phone so i can look at them, they never fail to make me happy. I have about 20 pairs of shoes, of varying price but as long as they are pretty they can cost £5 or £150 i don't care.

(I have a feeling that a fair few people will be unsurprised that i was the first reply)

Acceptable shoes for a man to own:

Dress shoes, for those times you need to look your best
Work shoes, whatever these may be
Weekend shoes, for, well, whenever you aren't at work
Training shoes, for running, football etc.
Dirty shoes, for doing mucky things. These are probably an old pair of weekend or training shoes.

Any more than that is officially not required and totally homogay.

I never have more than 3-4, wear them till they fall apart, get new pair.

Occasionally borrow a mates pair if they suit better

I have quite a few pairs but only regularly use two pairs. I really ought to throw out the old manky pairs. The rest are either walking boots I very rarely use or new pairs I've not even worn once yet.

Spot on there, more dirty shoes are acceptable but only if you can't be bothered to throw them away

I'm probably safe then, since the new (unworn) shoes are in original boxes shoved as far out of sight as possible.
