I had no idea how much footwear I had either so I just counted & took some photos. 34 pairs - counting my birkis, thongs & x2 pairs of running/gym shoes, which I didn't photograph

#1 is winter/colder weather.
#2 is heels & evening.
#3 is sandals

I could actually cull some of these as I have some booties & sandals that have been "replaced" with something I like & wear more.

Caro you have some beautiful footwear. Do you have any favourite brands?
Your sandals are beautiful. These are the type of sandals I am looking for. I have never liked delicate strappy ones.

Thanks Deborah. Just off the top of my head - Trippen from Germany but Soul Devotion in Melbourne sell some, Willow, some Mollini & my oxblood boots are See by Chloe (a BIG purchase but fantastic). A couple of pairs of Wittners sandals & some Ziera ones for all day walking.

Thanks Caro. I would like a new pair of (modern/edgy) black sandals this summer so I will check out the brands you recommend. Thanks

You have an enviable shoe collection! And not too too many, I think, for your varied needs. Still loving those silver booties and the taupe ones. Not to mention the silver sandals.

What a beautiful collection! And so much more contained than mine. Glad I could be of inspiration!

You have great shoes! I don't think 34 is a bad number. Are you planning to get rid of any?

I love your collection! It looks like you have chosen carefully for variety and edited well so that everything looks current. Please come and help me with mine!

Thanks everyone

Raisin, I have about six pairs that are on notice - if I don't wear the winter ones in the next month or so & the summer ones during this coming summer they will go. I would also like to add a pair of ankle strap, pointed toes shoes for summer too.

Joy - that woud be fun. You could help me style my new long shorts too

I very badly want to do this. Unfortunately, my hall is being painted, so everything is currently in disarray. I think I need the visual comeuppance of taking them all out and holding myself accountable.

Nice variety here Caro!
I have around that number too- workable and enough for most occasions without having to wear anything too often.
Great Winter boots!

AM It is a worthwhile exercise for sure

Thanks Lyn D = I seem to go from boots/booties to sandals most years

Love your shoes, Caro, and now you've inspired me, too, along with Janet.

I just went and counted my shoes and it's time to assess a few that haven't been getting any road wear. This is so tough to do, but such a relief when the project is done.

Thanks again for your inspiration.

You have some great shoes, Caro. I just counted mine, I'm at 70 pair.

What a great collection, Caro! Each pair is stylish and you have a very nice variety. I have to say that your silver booties inspired my purchase of a similar pair

I recently purged quite a few pairs but I think I am going to re-evaluate some. I think I have 80+ so there are certainly some that don't get much wear.

Thanks again everyone.

So true Vicki

shedev - imo it isn't about the number just whether or not you love & wear them all

So, I went through, somewhat, and at least managed to get my flats/ loafers/ oxfords a bit cleaned up. I did manage to clean up/ out the remainder of the collection, but they are not so nicely displayed as they are in my closet (I haven't the room to set them out until the hall is cleared of paint and drop cloths).

Gorgeous collection of shoes. My current shoes are separated into two closets, one for out of season which are in my main closet and the in season are near the front door in the coat closet which is shared with DH.
