How many shoes do you own? You can include all footwear. And how many is excessive?

1 pair Es Skating Shoes (every day)
1 pair Dress shoes (only when I have to, or feel like looking really good)
1 pair Tennis Shoes (working out)
1 pair Shower Sandals (those bathrooms are NASTY)

So four... and that's a LOT for me... I didn't use to have shower sandals, or tennis shoes when I was working every day, all I wore was dress shoes..

Here's a slightly different question:

Who hates buying new shoes?

I do.  Because it means I'll be replacing an old pair.  About 2 years ago I bought a pair of cheap steel toed boots from Wal-Mart and I swear they've been the best boots I've owned.  I've walked the soles off of them, scratched the finnish nearly completely off the foot and worn holes in the insoles and into the rubber underneath.  I had to stop wearing them because they were eating my socks alive.  I've started wearing a new pair of boots but they're just not the same...

I hear ya Mak. Those 10 year+ boots I mentioned I wore almsot everyday (except for with shorts in the summer) for 10 years. I finally replaced them almost a year ago as my "daily driver" boots. They are in great shape for the age and for what they've been through, they can tell a lot of stories  :thumb:  But they just look too reatty to wear to work anymore and my GF said she wouldn't go out in public with me unless I got new ones  :roll:

I'm with you... I hate shopping in general.. the shoes I'm wearing now have no heels on em, as I tend to drag them just a little bit when I walk.. well, walking up and down the giant hill outside my dorm multiple times a day, every day has worn the heels off completely.. but I like it.. and the shoes are COMFY, even though they're almost 2 years old.. a few squirts of febreeze every now and then, and they're GREAT!

shopping for shoes is only fun if I don't have to do it :thumb:

I lied: Shopping for anything (other than motorcycle accesories) is fun only if I don't have to do it.

$1.50 walmart sandals = daily wear
dc's = work shoes/school shoes
redwings = hunting/cold weather
gaerne = motorcycle boots

when you have big feet it gets kind of hard to find lots of shoes.

I own a lot of footwear, but most of it is special purpose.  I have 4 or 5 pair that I wear regularly, and about 12 or so others that fill specific needs (running shoes, motorcycle boots, hiking boots, golf spikes, tuxedo shoes, cross trainers, etc.).  Other random stuff (combat boots, worn out cross trainers to mow the lawn in, etc.) probably adds another few pair.
