I agree, I tend to wear things I like that suit me and are *usually* practical.
however, I LOVE shoes. I now have about 7 pairs of boots alone. And I could buy hundreds more. I've bought two pairs on my trip.
My clothes are usually just practical and comfy. I don't like wearing things that make me feel exposed or unflattered.

100 pairs of shoes, here
I think I have about 7 or 8 pairs of boots. I want more though, I love boots at the moment.

I have about 30-40 pairs of trainers.
None of which I am likely ever to wear again (apart from when I went to see KRS1 and broke out some old-skool Pumas). This is after a cull of about another 30-40 unwearably-knackered pairs.

this makes me feel better about my desire to own more pairs of shoes

My 'black t shirt with band logo on it' collection must be over 50

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 19 Jan 2011, 14:00, Reply)

I don't have any of those any more
the only thing I have is a Rip Curl t shirt that unfortunately looks like it says Def Leppard. It's almost embarrassing.

Does it have a knot in one sleeve?

That can be easily rectified.

The day I read that the drummer was once arrested for beating his missus
Was the happiest day in my life.
WALK ON THE OTHER SIDE OF HIM!

He could have been doing it with his feet, mind.

I had a mate who had one pair of baseball boots and no other footwear.
The soles eventually fell off, so he tied a pair of laces around the soles and the boots because he was too tight to buy a new pair.

I looove them.
I'm going to go shoe shopping tomorrow while I'm in Oxford I think.
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 19 Jan 2011, 13:54, Reply)

I think I've got about 10 pairs of what could be classed as trainers.
I never wear them though, there's always something nicer.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Wed 19 Jan 2011, 13:54, Reply)

I haven't worn trainers since I stopped going to the gym.
I just don't like wearing them outside; much prefer boots.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Wed 19 Jan 2011, 13:57, Reply)

*counts*
I have three pairs of shoes and two pairs of boots. That's it.
I do want some more skate shoes though, which is a little decadent of me, no?

That's a very lot of shoes
I have about 25, but that includes my collection of boots and sports shoes. Shoes, meh, but I could very easily buy more boots.
(berk, Wed 19 Jan 2011, 13:53, Reply)

I had a fair amount of shoes
But then the Great Wardrobe Mould Epidemic of 2010 struck, and now I have very few.
On the plus side, it means I do have an excuse to rebuild now.

I would be sick if anything happened to my shoes.
You poor thing.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Wed 19 Jan 2011, 13:56, Reply)

Amongst the casualties
Were three pair of heels, my biker boots, and my favourite pair of converse.

Interestingly, the shoes either side of my Iron Fists were the worst hit, but they were wonderfully untouched.

Please stop...it's too much. I can't bear to think of the suffering.

When I moved I lost about three shoes (so ended up with three odd ones). Thankfully, they were only a generic black peeptoe stiletto (of which I have about 5 pairs), a generic black ballet pump (about 3 pairs) and a generic gunmetal ballet pump (at least 2 pairs). I still sulked for a week.

I've got a metric fuckton of pairs of footwear
but most are specialist - sailing, skiing, hockey, climbing, "dressing up"

I suspect I only have about 10 pairs of what could be considered "normal" shoes and boots.
