Count how many you have.

exercise forever

I'm cleaning up my room today and was cleaning under my bed. Well I keep my shoes under the bed and did not know I even had this many. But I had 16 pair. That is a shocker to me. I do not wear all of these.

5-dress shoes
5-sandals
2-flipflops
1-pair of black boots
2-1pr running shoes,1pr crosstraining
1-pr of casual shoes



Just being nosey on how many pairs you ladies have.

I you don't want them, can I have them? ;-)

I have about 20 pairs of shoes at least. Mainly because I have a hard time getting rid of the older ones that are out of style. But I don't count my workout shoes as part of the bunch because they are a flat out necessity!

I am so Plain Jane.

One brown pair, one black pair, one pair of sandals, one pair hiking boots, one pair each of brown and black dress up shoes. Oh, and I have about 5 pairs of sneakers: 2 for running, cross trainers, aerobics, tennis.

So boring.

oh my, I couldn't even tell you how many I own. Tons of dress shoes (from when I worked), tennis shoes, sandals, etc. I'd guess I have at least 30 pairs, if not more. Now how many do I wear? Maybe 5-10 pairs at most. You can tell I have a hard time letting older shoes go ;)

Going from memory here, since I'm not at home:

2 pair - flat loafers, brown and black
2 pair - chunky-heeled loafers, brown and black (hardly ever wear them)
2 pair - flip flop sandals
3 pair - various dress shoes (hardly ever wear them)
1 pair - Keds
1 pair - casual sneakers
1 pair - walking sneakers
1 pair - Rykas (my "Cathe shoes")
1 pair - steel toed workboots (for wearing out to job sites)

I think that's it! So that's... 14 pairs, and some of them need to be tossed. :)
 
I never used to be a shoe person cuz I have such big feet but then I was bit by the shoe bug and started accumulating. I have about 25-30 shoes, most I don't wear and bought mostly because they were so cheap! I should go through them this weekend and donate some and throw out the ones the dog chewed. x(

I have a couple dozen pairs of sandals (I cringe now as I type this), two pairs of workout shoes -- one for aerobics and one for weight lifting -- and five more pairs in boxes -- couple new ones and three old pairs I just can't part with (I cringe even more), about half dozen pairs of shoes I use for fall/winter, and another 14 pairs of dress shoes in storage for that past life in which I was a working professional. All the work clothes already went to charity. I just couldn't let go of the shoes (holy crap, I have an Imelda complex -- cringe, cringe, cringe). Let's not even start on the purses. I blame my sister-in-law for this.:p

Please don't hate me.:) I need therapy.

Pinky
 
It's OK, Pinky. No need to blame others for your addiction. Just repeat after me:

"Hello, my name is Pinky and I'm a shoeaholic."

There, feel better?!?;-)


Angie
 
Going from memory here (and sure to forget some):
4 pairs of workout shoes I rotate between, plus 3 pairs unopened and waiting to be used, for a total of 7 pairs.
3 pairs of Earth Shoes
3 pairs of Teva Sandals
4 pairs of Birkenstocks
4 pairs of dressier shoes
3 pairs of slip ons (that I'm going to get rid of because they don't have any support)
2 pairs of clogs
2 pairs of boots (that I rarely wear)

Yikes! 21 pairs, not including workout shoes! And it's probably more than that, because of the "working from memory" thing!
 
Pinky - just blame Paris:)

Oooh, boy. Okay, lemme think, since I'm not at home.

I'm up to 21 and that's what I can remember. I like shoes, but I LOVE boots.
 
Oh yeah... I blame Paris for the sparkly lavender flip-flops I really didn't mean to get but did anyway.

And the green sandals with the grommeted, summer-colored daisies that make my feet look slender.

And the heeled beige slip-ons that I thought would look good with slacks. What was I thinking? I don't wear slacks in the summer. And I hate heels!x(

Lousy, good-for-nothing Paris.

Pinky
 
Oh man...I really need an intervention.

I've been in and out of the shoe addicts program soooo many times.
I'm too embarassed to say how many I actually have...but I'll admit my goal for the summer is to get rid of at least 20 pairs...without buying new ones that is.


:(
 
I'm with you Pinky--shoes & jewelry. I have literally hundreds of shoes. I have 3 closets full at home, not to mention several large boxes in my attic which are winter shoes & shoes I haven't worn in a while but you never know.............
 
I'd like to plead the fifth on this one on the grounds that it might incriminate me. If I don't actually count them, maybe there's less than I think? Please?
:*

I will just give you a hint at what I have: I have 13 pairs of Nike's alone. I might need some help counting the other shoes I have. Anyone want to volunteer?

Maximus--I will help you count your shoes if you help me count mine!;-)

All righty then, Imelda, whatever lets you sleep at night
;)
 
That sounds like a fair deal. I only have 6 pair of sneakers out of storage so you've got me beat on that LOL. Of course I only use 3 of the 6 pair but you just never know, right? And I have one closet for my black shoes alone (which also happens to be the closet for my black suits).

As long as yours are in the attic & not the basement--I don't do basements.
