Shoes...

[BoyNeedsTherapy]

So, having discussed this several times recently, I was wonder about everyone's opinions on shoes. Now, I admit, I have quite a few pairs of shoes...34 to be exact. But, 10 of those are flip flops, so that's only 24, of which, 4 pairs are boots, and 8 pairs are dress shoes, then I have 4 pairs of nice sandal/flipflops leaving 8 pairs of tennis shoes/sneakers/trainers/whatever you call them. So really, I don't think that's obsessive or excessive. Anyhoo, I suggested that someone on GA must have more shoes than I do, so I was wondering if anyone does? I would make a poll but I'm not sure how...A ha, I made a poll, so yes, please vote, and if your vote is over 25 pairs then please post how many you have Thank you.

Shoes are cool. My problem is that I buy new ones and keep the old ones. Just bought a pair of those Nike Free (run barefoot) tennis shoes. Damn they're comfortable. They cost about $100 though, so that raises another question.

 

What's the most you ever paid for a pair of shoes?

 

As for me, it would be a $400 pair of black Allen Edmonds dress shoes.

[BoyNeedsTherapy]

The most I've paid...hmmm, well I've got quite a few that cost me between $100-140 but the ones that are worth the most are a pair of Ferragamo dress shoes that should have been about $500-600 I think, but I got them in an awesome sale so paid less than $100 for them

Jeez - I'm still laughing over Ben and his 34 pairs!! I'm a girl and I only have 18. Who needs 10 pairs of flip flops?? Do any of them have that flower on the top?

 

I have 2 sandals, 2 tennis shoes, 2 boots, and the rest are dress shoes in 4 basic colors. Some are flats, some are pumps and some are high heels.

 

I have never spent more that $40 for a pair of shoes and its been a couple of years since I bought the last pair. Guess I'm not a shoeaholic. I actually don't like to wear shoes. I go bare foot as often as possible.

I don't have a foot fetish, but somehow that is strangely erotic.

[RTJ]

I feel out of place here. I only have like 2 pair of tennis shoes, a pair of running shoes, a pair of dress shoes, a pair of sandals, and like 4 pairs of flip flops. I guess it's because I keep my shoes until I wear them out.

[woody]

i have 9, which i think is all i would ever need, 3 sneakers/ casual, 2 dress shoes, 2 hikeing boots and 2 flip flops.... i never really understood the shoe fixation, my mother is completely excessive though, she has like 52 different pairs of shoes, i mean really why do need so many shoes, she never wears most of em, she recently had why parents wardorbe expanded cos shed run out of space to store all her shoes

[Sugarmag]

No such thing as too many shoes.

 

3 pairs tennis shoes

3 pairs of boots

4 pairs of flip flops

2 pairs of work shoes

4 pairs of sandals

5 pairs of dress shoes.

 

I would own more shoes if my husband didn't give me such a hard time about them. I have been banned from going to a shoe store alone.

 

As for the most expensive shoes I have bought. $85 for a pair of Puma's. I always try to buy on sale.

Lol, no none of my flip flops have flowers on. I have so many because they're what I like to wear the most, and they're cheap and people have bought some of them for me. I'm now down to 31 pairs because during the process of moving I decided that there were 3 pairs that I don't wear much any more so they're gone.

And you keep telling yourself that.

I have seven pairs of shoes.

 

1 pair of sandals

2 pairs of tennis shoes

2 pairs of dress shoes

1 pair of casual shoes

1 pair of hiking boots.

 

I usually spend about $100 on a pair of shoes and I wear them until they fall apart.

 

The most expensive pair would be my hiking boots. You do not want cheap boots when hiking the Appalachian Mountains/Trail. They have to be well made, comfortable, waterproof, warm, and light. My pair cost me $500 and are still in excellent condition 6 years later. It was a good investment.

Try cross-country in the Sierra Nevadas or the Rockies

I have done parts of the Intercontinental Trail. It was brutal. The boots handled it quite well though.
