Over 10 pairs in size 43, which is annoying as my feet have expanded and they are now too tight / painful unless I take out the insoles!

One of my sons does.

But his van is also worth less than his bike.

Imelda Marcos would not be impressed by my collection.

I have a Goretex pair of SPDs for wet and muddy hike-a-bike and a stiffer soled SPDs for dry and longer distances.

Both are wearing well after a few years and 1000s of miles.

Neoprene overshoes for really cold and/or wet weather.

5:10 impact pro, the weather resistant ones, been resolved a couple of times.

Lake MX242 for the gravel bike.

5:10 impact pro too small, waiting to find a new home.

5;10 impact pro new, waiting to come into circulation.

5:10 freeride pro, waiting to come into circulation.

One pair. Neoprene over shoes or oversocks as required. I've always run SPD's on all bikes.

Biking isn't really my main sport though. I have 3 x pairs of hiking and 2 x pairs climbing shoes.

1 pair for outdoors. Shimano MT7's purchased way before Covid, they're indestructible.

One really cheap pair of roadie shoes with Keo cleats for the few trips I do to the velodrome each year.

I thought this would be unusually few, but it seems not really.

I think if you use mostly Clipless ,don't race or hike and bike all over the place, those shoes have an easier time than if you use flats,

Having spare pairs was always useful for year round commuting in bad weather and 24hr races.

After reading the thread I'm feeling very thrifty. Only 4 pairs.

An old pair Shimano MO87s. I really wish I'd bought a second pair when they were on the market. Great fit.
Shimano XC3s.
Nnorthwave
A cheap Chain Reaction own brand a size too big to allow hillwalking socks in cold weather.

Shimano ME71s trail spds (criminal they don't make these anymore)

Absolutely ancient Shimano budget somethings, velcro, full of holes, sole split in various places, purely for turbo trainer and are about fifteen years old. Probably also a bio hazard.

1pr SPD shoes

1pr Salomon hiking shoes where the grip wore down to nearly flat so I use them with flat pedals now (but they're not strictly cycling shoes, just shoes I use on the bike)
