If you love shoes as much as I do, you probably have a loooot of pairs hidden in your closet! :D I don't have that many. I have 14 pairs, but I'm planning on getting new boots pretty soon.
Almost all of my shoes are high-heeled. I'm pretty short, and I think they're very elegant. I think I'd only wear high-heels even if I were very tall.
I know people who have 70 pairs or more, and I'd like to know if we also have that type of shoe lovers here on myLot. If you're one, I hope our feet have the same size! Hahaha! ;)
Thank you all!

I am that type of shoe lover. And as a matter of fact my feet have recently changed size. I have been the same size since college, but since giving birth to my son 3 years ago my foot has grown a size. It has been a good reason for me to finally clean out some old shoes (and get busy replacing them with new ones.)

Fourteen pairs of shoes isn't a lot? LOL, you and my sister are similar in that. She loves to buy shoes. I love shoes, but I have to spend my money on other things. But when I find a shoe deal, I'm in heaven. I have five pairs of shoes: tennis shoes, flip flops, dressy shoes with a slight heel (I'm 5'11 1/2), and a pair of casual slip ons. To be honest, I would have been able to say 6 pairs two days ago, but one of my dogs got a hold of one my shoes, and chewed the heel off. That little devil.
You probably have already done this, but I think you could find quite a few sites that have contests to give away shoes. I don't know where you shop, but say Payless or Zappos often have online contests. This maybe could help you add to your collection. If a person has to like something, shoes are a great choice! : )

Well before my fire I had a couple of pair of heels for if I was to work in an office. A couple of pair of hiking boots, since I lived in the country. Assorted flippy sandal like shoes and then a couple of pairs of tennis shoes for work. Now since I lost everything. I have a pair of tennis shoes, a pair of casual shoes and a single blue pair of heels for the office. So far they have done ok by me. Also one pair of flip flops. Shoes are ok and they have a way of finding their way into my house. However, they are not really important unless I have none when I need them.

I only own 2 pairs of shoes. I have a pair of sneakers that need replaced because they are falling apart and they are what I wear everyday because I am pregnant and can't wear my other pair of shoes. My other pair is a pair of low heel slip on dress shoes that I can't wear right now because I can't keep my balance in them. Usually I have less than 3 pair of shoes for me. After I get new tenny shoes I will be keeping the bad pair so that if I am painting or out cleaning up the yard then I don't ruin the new ones.

Ohh shoes, thats my weekness, shoes and bags at the same time.
As of now I can't even count how many shoes I do have most of them came from my friends, although some are not brand new I was proud to them that they gave me shoes.
I have different kinds of shoes and most of them is styletto type coz I'm small I must wear tall shoes.

To be honest, I'm a shoe junkie. Just ask my husband, he thinks I'm ridiculous! I have at least 200 pairs of shoes! I am on the verge of going through and donating some, because I don't wear most of them, and I don't have room for them.

Are you serious...Shoes are my life. I love shoes..They are my second life. If I go to a Mall or Discount Store I have to check out the shoes. I have over 100 pairs of shoes.
Hubby wants to know why I need so many....
Oh, and by the way I am a size 7 1/2.

Being a guy I only have one pair of shoes, and to be honest, I hate shoes. My girlfriend has, what seems to be, billions of pairs of shoes. I find it ridiculous, but that is just me. Try searching the phrase Kelly shoes on youtube. That sums it up how i feel about shoes;)

well i might have ten pairs too, i have not counted yet, but i am crazy about shoes too. but unlike you, i hardly wear heels, i like them, but since i am average tall, a good height, i dont need to wear them. and i would advise you not to wear heels too, cause they ruin the body figure. i mean in occassions its ok, but all the time, its really not good. i like joggers more than fancy shoes cause they are really comfortable.

I have a pair of dressy shoes, sandals and a pair of running (casual) shoes. I am not too crazy about what I wear on my feet, just as long as they are comfortable and look appropriate. I don't see how someone could have more than 5 pairs of shoes. Anything more is simply exaggerated and wasteful.
