When I was younger and single I was always buying shoes for myself. They were never expensive shoes but I just liked to have some variety. Now that I'm married with children I pretty much live in sneakers and maybe a pair of sandals and flipflops. How many pairs of shoes, sneakers or sandals do you have?

Many LOL I live in flip flops, tennies and go bare foot when I can.
I've had my kids and raised them and now I am still a bare foot grandma!
the shoes in my closet range from old than old tennies to new a new pair I bought this year.
Since thongs have made "the scene" with capris, I too have many pairs..........
I am not a shoe person. I wear them to protect my feet. I wear a pair to a social function about one time a year LOL

I have never been a big shoe person. I probably have a dozen or so pairs. I have got to get me a navy pair. The navy ones i had i wore to church the other day & they were hurting my feet so bad i threw them away when i got home. lol. Can't stand shoes that hurt my feet.

Because of the fact that I recently found all of my sandals that I had acquired over the past several years, I actually have six pairs of shoes that I will wear right now. However, had I not come across those things, I would only have two pairs of shoes that I would wear. That is a pair of tennis shoes that I typically wear more than anything and I also have a pair of flip flops that I would typically wear when we were taking the kids to the swimming pool. There is no time for shoes and stuff for myself when I have the children to worry about.

I have black hiking boots, white sandals, and black and silver flat dress shoes. That's all I need.

Me too. When I was younger and still studying I had enough money to spend for shopping. I like to buy shoes and I had a lot of shoes at home. Some of them I didn't even wear them because I had too many pair of shoes. They were not expensive though, and I never bought a pair of shoes that exceed MYR60. It means I was not spending beyond my ability and never had to incur with any debt when it comes to shoes.
Now, I don't have a permanent job and I am married to a husband who doesn't earn the moon and the stars. So I have to save money and I have to forget about my shopping hobby. It is very stressful because I love shopping very much but not able to do it anymore. Sometimes I will just pray that maybe some day a rich person will pity me and leave some money for me so that I can enjoy life just like everybody else.
Now I only have two pairs - sandal and a slipper. That's all. I'm so sad..

I've a pair of tennies, a pair of slippers, and a pair of knock off Birkenstock sandals. That is a total of three pairs of footwear.

I have this same thing going on with me and shoes. Only for me i didnt start buying things for myself until my kids were grown and out of my house with their own kids. I just wanted a variety of flip flips, sandles and clogs. I have a few full covered shoes too. Alomost all of my shoes fit into 4 under the bed storage containers.
