Too many shoes?

November 1, 2010 9:15am CST
Do you have a lot of footwear, the right amount, or not enough? If i am to include the likes of flip flops, shoes, slippers, trainers, boots, then i would say i have about 15 pairs, many of these are still boxed up and new as i like to find some great bargains. I only get rid of my footwear once they wear down so much on the bottom or they start to get holes in them. Good job my feet aren't going to grow anymore or i would have wasted a bit of money.

I have approximately two pairs of shoes. I have my pair for everyday use. Then I have my pair for special occasions, like visiting family for the holidays and other things. I think that is more than enough for me. Also, I used to have a pair of snow boots, but I need to get a new pair. Still right now, I have the two pairs that I do.

I have never had any snow boots. I guess if you don't need many shoes then that is great. For me though it is more a case of the fact that i see so many cheap deals and just buy them. As i have so many in i certainly won't be buying for a long time now. I do do a lot of walking and so my footwear does quickly wear down and so they don't last as long as what i would have thought.

It may sound surprising but i have more shoes/trainers than my wife as she only has one pair of trainers and refuses to let me to buy her anymore until those ones are worn out and start to get holes at the bottom. I have about 3 pairs of trainers and some work shoes but one of my pairs of trainers are old and i mainly use them for gardening so i don't wreck my good shoes.

i have one shoe pair,2 slippers, 3 chappals in my shoe rack. i have also 2 pairs of chappals in my parents house,which i wear when i go to my parents house. so i have 6 pairs only now(+2 in my parent's house) ,less than u and others. but i feel that ,those are sufficient for me.

What are chappals?, many footwear isn't needed, i just go overboard when i see great bargains.

Hi craigy... I have enough foot wears like shoes and sandals... Actually i do wear sandals in summer as i sweat a lot. But in case of winter i tend to wear shoes as well.. it keeps my feet warm with socks. I have more than 10 pairs of footwear. Have a nice day.

I am not a great lover of sandals really. I think even if we did have nice weather here i wouldn't really wear sandals much. Normally it is mainly either trainers or shoes that i wear throughout the day. The weather is awful here in england and so we really do need to wrap up everywhere, even our summers are mainly cold, i would love a load of hot days but we never really seem to get many througout a year. I really do love my footwear, now that prices are going up and the VAT is set to rise i am glad that i took advantage of many forms of footwear as i got them so cheap and they will last me for many many years to come. I guess i really have got some bargains, as now with some i could be paying double the price soon, always best to get bargains when you see them, i may have a load of footwear but they will all be fully worn at somepoint, and saving all the money means i can have a few more luxuries in my life.

I have more shoes that you, I think, but none of them are boxed, I use all pairs except one pair (that is really not that comfortable). I have around 30 pairs, and I still do not consider myself a shoe freak, haha! But I realize I maybe have too many shoes when I think about it. But as long as I use them, what's the harm, you know?

that is a lot of shoes, i just like to grab bargains when i see them. Don't forget though, it is normal for women to have loads of shoes, and i am a guy.
