    Probably like 7 or 8 pairs. I mainly wear flip flops or plain flats, but I have others for different occasions. Gladiator sandals when I know I won't be walking a lot because they're slightly uncomfortable, two different pairs of sneakers for days when I'll be hiking or walking a lot for some reason. I have a pair of fuzzy boots that'll last me the rest of my life because I wear them maybe three or four times a year when it's cold enough. Then a pair of regular boots.

    It's complicated really. I stick to the shoes that are comfortable because I had club foot when I was born and the doctor over corrected my feet and they point outwards and walking for too long is uncomfortable in general so I need my shoes to be comfy at the very least. Just trying on shoes tells me nothing so I end up with shoes I don't realize are uncomfortable until I go to a festival all day and my feet are dying.

    I can relate. After paying for food and stuff and rent and bills there is not much left. Can't afford to buy new clothes or shoes. I have one outfit that is almost falling apart and a pair of plastic slippers I bought for winter.

    But I like it minimalistic and I prefer a more or less stress-free living over having a lot of money. :)

    One dress and one daily wear. Never felt the need for Jordan's any thought to shoes. If they keep the water out they are fine.

  6. Yikes!

    I can imagine when you are doing the shopping you have no shoes on and you have to go super slowly through the supermarket.

  8. There could be broken glass, it could be slippery if you aren't wearing shoes.

    Supermarkets are known to have spills and broken glass.

    Oh, this made me laugh.
    I have this very same thread at my two other forums.
    I have hundreds of pairs of shoes, same with boots, then sandals.
    I can't help but keep buying more.
    I love Jimmy Choos.

    2 chacos
    1 teva "terra-fi 4" river sandals
    2 Adidas "top ten" high tops
    1 nike Air Force one high tops
    1 Red Wing hunting boots, for hiking and work
    1 black leather combat boots
    1 alpinestar Tech 7 MX boots
    And rollerblades gathering dust in the closet after a knee injury a couple years ago, but those probably don't count

    I live in chacos when i'm not at work, once I punch the clock boots go off and sandals go on (sometimes mismatched!!). wish i could go barefoot but there's too much broken glass and too many used H-needles around here to risk it, the joys of city life i guess.
     
  19. We discovered when we moved to a new apartment that I own 26 pairs of shoes and 33 pairs of boots. 10 of which are thigh high or crotch high. So I may need to take a bag of them to the charity shop soon because space is tight
