    Pair of work shoes, and three pairs of personal wear shoes.

    I think this theory comes from people suspecting we become women because we are gay, and they generalise shoes as a women's accessory. Idk it's weird.

    I have 4 that I actually use but I'm a shoe-hoarder :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I still own a torn pair of trainers, a few torn pairs of sandals, a couple of pairs I needed specifically for plays, and my old school shoes. I haven't used them (except the school shoes) in more than half a year if not longer.

    A pair of steel capped Dr Martens
    A pair of walking shoes for work
    A pair of thongs for home.

    That's funny because I know a handful of straight guys who have more pair of shoes than I do.

    I do own 4 pair of shoes. One is for running shoes, then a casual brown leather shoes, tennis shoes and an all star shoes.

    Now that I think of it, 4 is probably a lot but at least I don't post it around on facebook unlike some guys, lol.

    11 pairs of footwear :eek:

    1 pair of extra high rubber boots.
    1 pairs of slippers (for inside).
    1 pair of slippers (for outside, for small distances when it's really really hot).
    1 pair of outside running shoes.
    1 pair of inside sport shoes.
    1 pair of extremely worn out trail hiking boots (not watertight anymore). (using these when painting or doing stuff like that).
    1 pair of trail hiking boots (watertight). Wearing these normally in winter, or during rainfall or when hiking.
    1 pair of sandals. Using these rarely for walking and for swimming/walking near beaches with sharp rocks and sea urchins.
    1 pair of quite worn out sneaker-like shoes. Using these in summer.
    1 pair of light, extremely water-un-proof shoes. Using these in summer too.
    1 pair of formal shoes.
    Not included: one pair of ice skates. Wishlist: one pair of waders.

    I think only 1 pair of summer shoes is superfluous for me. Maybe all these straight people with supposedly almost no shoes, throw them away quickly and only live inside and don't do sports? :icon_bigg

    Why do people need so many shoes, you can only wear 1.

    I know it looks bad, but they've just accumulated over the years. I didn't buy them all at once. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I have:

    2 pairs of workout shoes
    1 pair of converse
    2 pairs of Doc Martens
    3 pairs of Vans
    5 pairs of Toms
    1 pair of Madden Girl boots
    2 pairs of heels
    And 1 pair of cowgirl boots :lol:

    I've had the boots, converse, and 1 pair of heels, Vans, and Toms since I was around 17 or 18 though, so I'm not like a shopaholic or anything, lol. If anything, I'm probably a shoe hoarder. I can't help it, I love shoes!! :grin:

    Honestly I'm surprised people posting have so few, I thought ten would be about average :confused: Yeah you can only wear one pair at a time but you could say the same for t shirts. It'd feel weird for me to wear the same pair every day and it's not like I'm even particularly fashionable or fashion conscious.

    Guess I just like shoes!

    1 pair of converse
    1 pair of vans
    1 pair of black dress shoes
    1 pair of sneakers
    1 pair of winter boots
    and 1 pair of work boots but those don't really count because I just got them for a play I was in

    I only wear the converse and vans regularly, although to be honest I wish I had a lot more casual shoes. Still, the ones I have work fine.

    About 12, I think?
    2 boots
    4 heels
    1 running
    2 converse
    1 sandals
    2 flip-flops

    But in reality I pretty much only wear 4 regularly. In order: Converse, sandals, running, and boots.
