How many pairs of cycling shoes do you have?

Just noticed as some have been moved around

Five Tens x 11 (6 are mine, 4 his, 1 wife’s)

Crank brothers x 7 (all his)

2 pairs for me.

One pair mrs_oab.

Winter SPD boots

Old Winter SPD boots with a broken eyelet

Gore-tex winter lace-up SPD boots

XC SPD shoes

Old comfortable Disco Slipper XC SPD shoes

less comfortable XC race SPD shoes

cheap aldi lace-up XC SPD shoes

I think that’s it for me. Can’t; recall any more, need to take some to the charity shop really

Four.

Shimano XC7 are my main pair.

Sidi Dominator, retro almost new I couldn’t resist buying from the local bicycle jumble.
Specialized SPD from eBay that I brought for commuting but no longer use.
Adidas Trail Cross from when I sampled flats.

15 and I don’t even ride bikes any more!

10 :

2 winter boots

3 road

3 gravel

1 mtb

1 indoor road (Wattbike)

A pair of 5:10s, replaced as and when necessary

A Pair of AM45s

2 pairs of Specialized sworks disco slippers, 1 road, one XC

Actually, on a technicality, five:

I own a pair of Vans but they’ve never seen a BMX!

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!

Winter boots for very cold (MTB)

Winter boots for quite cold (MTB)

Winter boots for quite cold (road)

MTB shoes x 2

Turbo shoes (old road ones)

Normal road shoes

Fancy dry weather only s-works road shoes.

8 then.

Too many…..
Used regularly:-
Five Ten Freerider Pro
Five Ten Trailcross Goretex
Five Ten Hellcat SPD
FLR roadie spds for turbo trainer use.

Old Spesh Defroster SPD occasionally used for cold/wet winter commutes.

Spares/Old but too good to chuck out:-
Specialized 2FO SPD
Five Ten Freerider

Didn’t get on with but never got rid of:-
Adidas Terrex Trail Cross SL

Think that’s it 🙂

1 pair XC

1 pair trainer-style

7 pairs winter boots, enough for a dry pair every three and a bit hours at the Puffer.

7.

MTB

Gravel

Road

Flats

Some people appear to have have more pairs of cycling shoes than I have pairs of shoes.

@eoghan

I only have 1 non cycling footwear if that helps.

1 pair of Crank Brothers Mallet

Some people appear to have have more pairs of cycling shoes than I have pairs of shoes.

One of my sons does.

But his van is also worth less than his bike.

So 7 for riding

Five ten x 2 for wandering about , possibly riding with my kids.

. There are another 2 pairs of five ten in the loft for when these wear out.

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.

2x ride concept, 2x northwave, new, unwanted leftovers from the crc fire sale that I need to chuck in the classifieds

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.

Two; one pair of road shoes, one set of MTB shoes that I also commute in. When they wear out I replace one for one

1 pair 5:10 MTB shows.

1 pair summer sidi road shoes.

1 pair winter sidi road shoes.

Several but I only wear on pair and they are disintegrating.

Time to panic?

Sufficient.

Lol, I thought I had too many but now feel inadequate compared to you lot!

Clip in

Shimano MT91 Goretex boots – just ordered some XM9’s in probably a half size too big

Specialized 2fO

Shimano GE9

Flats

Five Ten EPS

Five Ten Freerider

Five Ten Freerider Pro

Five Ten Trailcross Mid

Five Ten Trailcross Mid GTX

A few 8 pairs

Road

Gaerne carbon and Shimano RW5

MTB/gravel

2 pairs M089 (like the fit)

2 pairs MW7 (one being Boa)

1 Pair Shimano XC3

1 pair of Specialized ‘Trainers’ for casual.

I don’t have an many regular shoes.

5:10 x 2 which are not warm in the winter.

I need 2 pairs, if one pair gets wet (they take ages to dry) the other pair is to hand.

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.

Usable shoes, not that I use them all for some reason.

2 pairs Carnacs, one road one mtb.

1 pair Nikes road,

1 pair Northwave artics. mtb

1 pair sidi dominators,  mtb

2 pairs sidi dragon’s . mtb

1 pair sidi 5’s road

1 pair sidi genius’s road

I pair sidi wire 2’s road

I think that is all????

edit, I forgot the sidi eagle’s mtb.

Winter SPDs

Summer SPDs

Spare pair of Summer SPDs picked up in a sale earlier in the year.

3 pairs of Five Tens.

I don’t have any flat pedals.

2 and a half, 3 if my other winter boot ever turns up

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.

Five, but unfortunately I think it’s only going be the goretex winter ones that are going to be seeing any use before next May now 🙁

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.

Only 4 pairs here too

Summer shoes

Winter shoes

Uplift shoes

Flat pedal shoes

2 x 5:10 Freerider Pro

2 x Ride Concept Helicons

Most of the 5:10’s have knackered soles and good uppers, the Ride Concepts knackered uppers and good soles.

2 pairs

Summer/dry(ish) ‐ 5.10’s (impact?)

Winter/wet/other shoes wet – 5.10 goretex

Like Bunnyhop said above 2 pairs is handy if 1 is already wet.
