There's probably a few more, but those are the ones in regular rotation. I need to purge a few pairs because unfortunately the closet in my dorm room has very limited space. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-curious-how-many-pairs-of-shoes-do-u-own#post-848042 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 18:42:14 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 848042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 pair slippers<br /> 1 flip flops (summer slippers, essentially)<br /> 2 workboots (should probably get rid of these as I never wear them anymore but they're still in good shape and I paid a lot of $$ for them)<br /> 3 other boots<br /> 3 sandals<br /> 3 peeptoes or slingbacks<br /> 8 heels (probably too much for my lifestyle)<br /> 3 casual sneakers<br /> 2 workout sneakers (probably need more actually)<br /> 10 flats, mostly ballet flats </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-curious-how-many-pairs-of-shoes-do-u-own#post-847948 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 17:28:30 +0000 Aziraphale 847948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, all right, we're doing the female version of a pissing contest! LOL I'm kidding. But that's what I always think of when we compare shoes. I wonder, in the history of humankind, if a group of men have ever counted up and talked about how many pairs of shoes they have? ;-)</p> <p>OK, here goes. These are ALL the things I wear on my feet (not including socks!):</p> <p>11 shoes<br /> 5 short boots<br /> 4 mid-calf boots<br /> 3 tall boots<br /> 2 wellies<br /> 3 sandals<br /> 1 flip flops<br /> 2 house slippers<br /> 3 sport shoes (gear)<br /> 1 snow boots (gear)<br /> 1 gardening shoes (gear)<br /> 1 downhill ski boots (gear)</p> <p>This reflects the climate I live in, of course. More boots than shoes, not many sandals. So, 28 pairs of "fashion" footwear, if you don't include the house slippers and flip flops, which I don't. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-curious-how-many-pairs-of-shoes-do-u-own#post-847945 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 17:24:11 +0000 abc 847945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not ready to face my number yet. </p> <p>At least half, if not 3/4, are black pumps for work - trying to get out of the black shoe rut.</p> <p>Need to purge.</p> <p>Going to the corner to hide now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-curious-how-many-pairs-of-shoes-do-u-own#post-847911 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 16:50:53 +0000 Amy 847911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know.

Really i think is because every week i purchase one or 2 piece of clothing i donate like crazy every 6 months and i if i don't a sack or 2 full of clothes go to army salvation withing a year :/ and jewerly !!! im hooked with that too, and bags not a fan only 2 backs to carry my stuff!! Clothes r my obssession! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-curious-how-many-pairs-of-shoes-do-u-own#post-847086 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 22:18:45 +0000 Mo 847086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say 35. I have only worn some pairs a few times so far. The snow, and my job, keep me from wearing my 'fun' shoes most of the time. I also tend to want to be ready for anything, and my fancy shoes can get in the way of that ;)<br /> The best purchase I've made in years are my purple Dansko Veda's for work. So glad I did that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-curious-how-many-pairs-of-shoes-do-u-own#post-847076 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 22:06:39 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 847076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure, maybe 150. I do wear them all but have to rotate them seasonally to have space for them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-curious-how-many-pairs-of-shoes-do-u-own#post-846109 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 20:32:04 +0000 Susie 846109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Probably 60-70. I think. Not counting slippers. Or flip flops. Yikes, maybe I should count and do another purge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-curious-how-many-pairs-of-shoes-do-u-own#post-846104 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 20:26:39 +0000 rachylou 846104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking... 75, and this after purging. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-curious-how-many-pairs-of-shoes-do-u-own#post-845822 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 16:15:35 +0000 Emily 845822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear. My Stylitics closet doesn't lie - I currently have 29 pairs of shoes. There are another 5 on my wishlist.</p> <p>That said -<br /> The Kate Spade Tock flat (bottom row, first and sceond from left) is included in that 29 twice, in blush and blue, but I will be keeping a maximum of one pair.<br /> The loafers (top right corner) are looking a little worse for wear and are on their way out.<br /> The Naturalizer butterfly wedges (bottom row, far right) have been well worn, but just don't tickle me any more. They're in the holding zone.</p> <p>The 5 on my list are for spring/summer:<br /> -A Nude or Coloured Flat, depending on the Kate Spades I've ordered<br /> -An 8-hour wedge sandal for work<br /> -A flat, neutral sandal<br /> -A comfortable, coloured sandal (may be flat or wedge)<br /> -Boat Shoes</p> <p>It sounds pretty outrageous all laid out like that, but I'm a shoe lover in a 4-season climate. I am resigned (sigh!) to a large shoe collection. (DH is another story...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-curious-how-many-pairs-of-shoes-do-u-own#post-845815 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 16:05:37 +0000 Sara L. 845815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh - I probably have 70 or 80 pairs, although I pack away the out of season pairs so I never have so many on display at once. I love shoes and live in fear of not having the right shoe for an outfit. Every season I purge shoes that aren't worn or are dated. I really try to wear all my shoes, except for certain fancy ones that aren't suitable for work or casual wear. Since I feel like I'm pretty good about wearing my shoes, I don't feel too guilty about having so many. Plus I don't tend to spend a lot on them - I shop mostly sales and discount stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-curious-how-many-pairs-of-shoes-do-u-own#post-845742 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 15:00:15 +0000 Lisa 845742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Before YLF, lots of shoes.
