Just how many pairs of shoes do you have?

I have aquired about 20 pairs of shoes and 15 of them are all black. Why is this? I guess because black is my favorite color?. Just about all the clothes I wear are black, if I'm not wearing scrubs. However, all of my scrubs are very colorful and my Sketchers are white. When I'm not wearing black, I like to wear dark colors. So, when I do go out and dress up, I wear my black and it's hard for me to chose which pair I want to wear. I 'm not like most girls, I guess, because I don't have hundreds of pairs. How many pairs of shoes do you have and do you have a favorite color??? I would be interested to see who has the most pairs of shoes! Any wild colors???

My shoe wardrobe is very boring but I think I have about 15 pair and I hate buying them and don't wear most of them!! I do have them in case I am dressing up for something but I don't have many dress clothes or places to go dressed up in!! I like brown shoes but I don't have many brown clothes......doesn't make much sense. I wear athletic shoes more than any other kind and even wore them most of the time during my 30 years as a teacher.

Well idowrite, I feel that being comfortable is the most important thing when choosing a "shoe wardrobe". Yes, athletic shoes are ideal for your line of work. They are also required for my line of work. If I get feet pain of any kind, then I am no good to work. Thank you for your response and hope you can keep your feet happy and comfortable. Take care of your feet always.

well this is really easy. I have exactly two pairs of shoes. one pair of black ugly orthopedic shoes with brace for left leg and one pair of red mocassin bedroom slippers. the orthos cost me in co pay some three hundred dollars as they are custom made, fitted to my feet' per plaster casts. the style is hideous however and I love pretty shoes.

Well Hatley, I'm sure your red mocassins are very comfortable. That really sucks that your orthos cost so much. I would think the medical supply stores or some type of prostheses store could help you out with this. Thank you for the comment. Good luck in finding more attractive shoes; but hopefully not for the high expense.

I don't have a lot of shoes, just a few. I do have a pair for work, one for just around the house, and a pair for whatever sport I am playing. Each pair is black, or red and black...which is my favorite color combination.

I assume you are a man, buldwgz. The colors make sense with being a Bulldog fan. Thanks for the response.

Four, four pair of shoes are all I have, Bevvy22. They are all athletic type shoes that I wear to school or just out for the day and/or night.

hehehehe I have several pairs of shoes. Two pairs of tennis shoes...which I wear fishing, some steel toed boots which I wear to work. And oh yes, a pair of really colorful boots (camouflage) boots I use in the winter time...the only problem is I keep losing my feet when walking through the woods.

You are so funny. I hope your tennis shoes were successful in helping you catch a shark recently. Those tennis shoes may start to smell a little fishy after a while. Now as far as the camouflage boots and the matching attire, you would be completely invisible to everyone. I can't stand when some people have those invisible trucks and hunting equipment. I just happen to bump into them. That's the only way I can figure out they are there:)

It seems that my tennis shoes aren't very lucky when it comes to shark fishing...well not for me at least. They work pretty good for everyone I invite though. I would just pull them off, but that would be bad luck for everyone.

I wear sarongs. If i have more that 3 of one design i make a tunic. Or i just wear a top of some color which matches the sarong. My fav color is green all different shades. I also love black, lilac, purple, turqoise, pink. I have a huge rolling suit case full of flip flops and starting to fill another. Clogs of many colors and a few pairs of regular shoes. All are many different colors. Only color i don't like is orange.

Hello jdyrj777. Green is great and there are so many differsnt shades. I like all those colors you mentioned too. I too, do not like orange either. I am a Georgia fan and any team with orange, I do not like. My husband and I do not allow anything with orange into our house. Anyway, I live here in south Georgia, so "flip flops" are very popular down here. I have a lot of those type shoes. I borrow my daughter's too. Thanks for responding. Take Care!

Pink and orange shoes ought to be cool as ever! I have the perfect outfit to wear with those colors. But yes, black is the common color and they go with just about anything. Thanks for the response and have a great day too:)

OK frozenberry, you have the most pairs of shoes hands down. Your closet must be huge. You sound as though your wardrobe is very colorful. Much like your avatar. Thanks for the response.

Hello Bevvy22, I have about thirty pairs of shoes, One pair of sneakers, One pair of boots for bad weather, about 15 or 16 pairs of hi-heeled sandles, 8 or 9 pairs of pumps and 3 pairs of hi-heeled boots. Theres more black then any other color but I have a few whites, a couple of reds and pinks, and just about every other color you can imagine! I do love my heels, I think I only wear the sneakers about once a month if that. I have this pair of red sandles that I wear more then any other because they go so well with a lot of my dresses and are more comfy then my other red pairs. Yours truly, Tianna!!

It is intersting that women love shopping when men love to do sports or play games.Many women spend much money on shopping, so do I.I have many clothes that is full of my closet.And I have about 25 shoes,most of my shoes are dark colors such as brack\brown.I think dark colour is easy to pair any colour clothes.Else,it is most important that whether the shoes is comfortable.DO not buy the shoes that are very beautiful but not comfortable,it is not good for your health.

Yes, thank you apple1982 for the suggestions. You are correct; we shouldn't buy shoes just for their beauty and color. They are bad for our health if not fitted properly. And I agree, the dark colors are easier to match with various color clothing.

Don't see the point in having 10+, seems like a waste of money. I only have 4. Running shoes, dress shoes, basketball shoes and soccer shoes.

Well Some_dude, obviously you are a male, and that's ok! My husband is the same way. He feels as long as he has his cleats for whatever sport he is playing, one for going out and one pair for work; he's happy. Thank you for your response.

That sounds great, ztfyhu. It's good to hear that some boys or males, have a lot of shoes and not just women. You have the most pairs of shoes, that a male has responded to my discussion. Thank you for your input.

Hello bevvy22. I have about 30 pairs of shoes. About 8 pairs are black, 10 are different colors of flip-flops (I live in a warm climate) and about 5 more are sandals. I have a pair of light green stacked heeled shoes that have no sides or back, just a section of leather across the top of the foot. I forget what those are called. I think this color of green is a little unusual. My favorite shoes is a pair of white leather sandal-like shoes that have a separate place for my big toe. They are hard to describe, but they are so very comfortable! I just bought a pair of Roman sandals, sort of like flip flops, with a metallic, shiny bronzy color. They are sweet! I need to clean out my shoes and get rid of a few pair. That's how I control the number I have at any given time. Take care. PearlGrace

Oh, I want a pair of shoes like the white leather sandals you described...they sound awesome! I am in a warm climate as well, so those type of shoes work perfectly for me as well. Thanks for the response PearlGrace.

I love shoes, I think I've got about 50 pair. Mostly, my dress shoes are black, but I do have a great pair of bright red heels. My favorite ones were a pair of silver sandals with a 4 inch heel that lit up when I walked, but the dog got them! Other than that, my 5 pair of sneakers and my 4 pair of sandals, all my shoes are black! Must be a popular color!

Wow 50 pair, miller23231, that's pretty good! I need to but me a pair of red high heels too. I like to get dressed up with pretty colors too. But the light up shoes I've seen but have never bought them. They are too cool! My dog, an English bulldog named Piggy, has never chewed on anything. Much less my shoes. We adpoted her at 2 years of age, so we were lucky we didn't have her as a puppy. I'm sure she had her share of eating shoes before she joined our family. Shoes are important and I would be pissed if she did eat them. Thank you for your response and may your shoes light your way to happiness!

I know what you mean. I have about twenty pairs and most of them are black high heels. My current favourite pair is red with only 1.5 inch heels. They are comfortable enough to wear everywhere. I love my brown heels too, but they are 4.5 inch heels and I can't walk and carry the baby's car seat so they're for dates only. P.S. most of my high heels were bought by my husband

Hi Essie119! I love high heels and they really make my legs look better and curvier. My husband picked out some of my shoes too and he likes them when I like to dress up real trashy. However I've never had 4.5 inch heels before. But I'm pretty good at walking in them and I don't blame you for not trying when carrying the baby. I've been married 18 years and dates are few and far between. But now when or if we go out, I like to dress trashy and wear my special black heels. Good luck with the baby and family life. Go ahead and get your "walk on!"
