[#5908482]

The front page poll got me thinking...

I own:

1 pair [url=

Doc Martin boots[/url] (for work and general wear)
1 pair [url=

Vans[/url] (for work and general wear)
1 pair Karrimor 'approach' shoes (for walking and bike riding)
1 pair [url= http://instagram.com/p/heKRgnt-6x/ ]Salomon running shoes[/url] (for running)
1 pair flip-flops (for summer)

Apparently, this isn't very many. How many pairs of shoes do you own?

...and this is why I stay off the front page.

Anything that leads to shoe polls, is witchcraft.

I'm a big girl when it comes to shoes, I've got stacks. I couldn't even begin to list them (but I'll do an overview) : mostly trainers - loads of Nike Air and Jordan variants throughout the years, numerous Etnies skate shoes, different versions of Vans, Adidas shell-toes. Magnum army boots, Timberland boots, CAT boots. Five ten Impact lo's for riding. There's more but that'll do for now

EDIT: Wish I could find some Vans Gravels to add to the list, fed up with my monstrously chunky Five Tens that hold more water than the Hoover Dam

1 pair of work shoes

1 Formal

2 cycling

1 work (approach shoes)

1 approach shoes (actual approach shoes)

5 pairs of walking boots (1 current summer, 1 current winter, 3 old knackered pairs I refuse to get rid of, used on the allotment, ghyll scrambling etc.)

1 sandals

2 climbing shoes

1 pair running shoes

so - 14 pairs in all, my wife has about the same, but none of them are much use for anything…where as mine all have pretty specific uses.

They're not proper DMs, they're [url=

ones with a slightly padded ankle and just 4 holes[/url]. But I am a hip teacher, obviously 🙂

At least one member of staff has been known to wear Vibram 5-fingers for work 🙂

Only one pair of running shoes?????? Forget n+1, you need more running shoes than that!

I don't run enough to justify multiple trainers. I've just realised that I own 5 bikes and 5 pairs of shoes; that must be some sort of cosmic balance, right?

More than I thought

4 pairs of leather shoes for work (although I only wear one pair and ignore the other ones)
1 Pair of walking boots
1 pair of Doc Martins (black eight tie)
2 pairs of Merrill outdoor trainer things
1 pair of Asics running shoes
1 Pair of Nike trainers
1 Pair of ghillie brogues for wearing with kilt
2 Pairs of Specialized MTB Shoe
1 Pair of Diadora MTB shoes
1 Pair Shimano flat pedal shoes

Still loads less than my wife "Imelda" though!

trainers that I wear 90% of the time
posh trainers
posh shoes
work shoes (stay at work)
walking boots
running trainers (very muddy)
old battered trainers I wear in the house instead of slippers.

Not as many as some but more than others, OTOH I have 5 pairs of cycling shoes (winter wet [and most of the year TBH], winter cold, summer, hot summer, commuting)

got a bunch of other old shoes kicking about in the bottom of wardrobe coz I'm a hoarder but v.v.rarely used.

oh if we're doing all footwear then I have 2 pairs of snowboard boots and 1 pair of skates too

far too many pairs of cycling shoes, although most are just stuck in a box in the cellar because after trying them for a month or two I decided I didn't like them.

If I count the contents of the box.

6 pairs MTB shoes
3 pairs of MTB winter boots
3 pairs of road shoes
3 pairs of running shoes
3 pairs casual shoes
2 pairs casual trainers
1 pair sandals
1 pair hiking boots
+ do inline skates count?

I have also thrown quite a few cycling shoes away, the ones I do have left are the ones I could wear without pain if I had to.

MSP you don't happen to have a pair of Vans Gravels do you that you tried for a month, didn't like and then stuck in the cellar. Size 10 or 11? Just on the off-chance 🙂

Was thinking that was a lot, but looking at some of your posts, maybe not.

1 pair general trainers/approach shoes
1 pair brown leather ankle boots
1 pair rigger boots
1 pair black leather work shoes
1 pair brown leather work shoes
1 pair [s]smelly[/s] biohazard standard sport sandals

and
1 pair mtb shoes
2 pairs of road shoes
4 or 5 pairs of climbing shoes
1 pair winter walking boots

BUT I regard the last 8pairs as sports equipment, so they don't really count for purposes of the front page survey 😉
