    I've been asked this question before, so I finally decided I would count my shoes. Including my winter boots and sneakers (which I hardly ever wear), I have 32 pairs of shoes.

    How many pairs of shoes do you own? I expect that the women will own many, many more shoes than the men! Like, no duh! :laughing:

    I saw a show recently (on HGTV where they are looking for a new house), and this one woman had so many shoes that they needed their own room, and she would not take a house that did not have a special room for her shoes! :laughing: I was sooooo jealous!

    I own a pair or work boots, a pair of "cowboy boots", a pair of sneakers, a pair of dress shoes, and a pair of house slippers. When a hole develops in one of them, I replace them... eventually. So... 5.

    I wear the work boots when I'm working on the farm.
    I wear the cowboy boots when I'm working with animals on the farm.
    I wear the sneakers when I'm in public, in casual clothes.
    I wear the dress shoes when I'm working at my job, or for 'dress up' events.
    I wear the house slippers when I'm in my skivvies.

    I rarely attend any meetings on Sunday for which the dress shoes would be appropriate. ;)

    No more than 12. Not sure of the exact count. Of those 12, 3-4 likely need to be tossed. I hate wearing shoes.

    That's just something my grandfather used to say to me. He would say, "you have your Sunday go to meeting shoes on again today, huh?" He was a funny guy. He also used to say, "my mother used to make us take a bath every Saturday, whether we needed one or not!" :laughing:

    I've heard that before as well, from old timers. I am unfortunate to never have known my grandparents; all but one passed before I was born, and the other shortly thereafter. The sneakers will be the appropriate footwear for the mosh pit at the Metallica concert, this Sunday. ;)

    I had more shoes than 32, but I just recently got rid of a couple/few that I don't ever wear or that were just old or out of style.

    Yes! I happen to be traveling to NY on business next week, and will be able to see them across the river in NJ on Sunday. Sunday go to meeting shoes... indeed.

    I have to stay out of trouble because Monday morning will be a 'dress shoes' day. :)

    It is. I could get rid of one pair of dress shoes. That said, they all have their purpose, and I do wear them regularly. I have 2 pairs of work shoes, because they last longer if you alternate them and not wear them two days in a row.

    With winter shoes, 6 or something. Way too few imo and definitely need an upgrade here, but shopping clothes is like the least appealing thing in universe. Shoes and pants are the worst two things to look for. *blam*

    I have five. I have a pair of sneakers for everyday use, a pair of steel toed work boots because I was working for FedEx, a pair of dress shoes, a pair of black combat boots becuase I'm in the police academy, and a pair of running shoes. I think I still have a pair of winter boots from when I was living in Alaska.

    Grubby sneakers for yard work and auto work
    House shoes that I rarely wear

    My wife has over 50 pairs and dozens of purses. I think I need a new gun.

    About a dozen at any given time, but I make it a rule not to wear more than one pair at a time because I wouldn't people to think I am a show off ;-)
