Here's my entire shoe wardrobe, minus running sneakers, hiking boots, and water shoes, and a couple of pairs I have on order (including those silver Top Shop pumps).
I am due for a cull -- mostly I'm focusing on replacing shoes that fit a proven need in my shoe capsule, but are either worn out or just aren't quite as comfortable as I like, yet I hold on to them until a better replacement can be found.
They are ALL useful in their own way, even if not worn as often.
What gets worn most often? Definitely the booties. Heeled Impo's for work, flat Munro's for work and for every day. Tall boots get worn when the winter is cold and snow piles high; that didn't happen this year, so they haven't been worn that often. You just can't beat the comfort you get with shoes you can wear with socks.
When the weather gets hot, of course I have flat sandals but for work it gets trickier. I find most closed toed pumps unbearable. When I find a pair that works, I hold on forever. But even my favorites I've had for years can become unbearable in the heat (blisters). So I gravitate towards more strappy heels for air flow and those with laces are awesome (yeah this is in style now!!) and if they have wedges that's even more of a plus!
Ballet flats are creeping back into my wardrobe after a long hiatus. Because it's really nice to have a packable pair for work travel, to get to and from the office, or trounce around the airport.
