How many pairs of shoes and sneakers do you have in your closet right now? Do you have some that you never wear? I have about 12 pairs. During the week I mostly wear sneakers. I do have a nice pair of boots that I like to wear and a couple other pairs of shoes. I have a few pairs of sandals also.

Very few lol. I have just the bare necessities. Why would I need so many pairs for? 1 for office attire. 1 for casual. LOL... that would suffice. :P

I am seriously addicted with shoes. I lost count of the number of shoes I have. I don't like to wear sneakers though. I prefer to wear the soft and comfy ballet shoes for ordinary days and high heeled shoes for date with my friends.

I am a very simple woman, I have 1 pair of slippers, 1 pair of sneakers, 1 pair of dress shoes, 1 pair of work shoes, and a pair of snow boots. So if you count the slippers, I have 5 pairs of shoes...The ones that get the most use are my work shoes & my sneakers.

I have four pairs of black boots, three pairs of black dress shoes, three pairs of black sneakers, and two pairs of black sandals. I've completely gotten rid of all of my non-black shoes. :) Even my slippers (3 pairs) are all black! :) Mostly, though, I wear one pair of boots and one pair of sneakers, and occasionally one pair of dress shoes. The sandals are mostly there for taking out the garbage or running upstairs to do the laundry.

I love shoes almost as much as I love buying clothes, I have 40 pairs on my shelves and another 25 in a box in case I need some special shoes or shoes that hurt when you wear them.

I have about 20-25 pairs of shoes. I am a big shoe freak and like to collect limited editions and rare-issue sneakers and wear them or just have them to collect. I do have a couple of pairs of shoes that remain in constant rotation, with a pair of sneakers for everyday wear, dress shoes for special occasions, etc; I even have some flip-flops and sandals for other occasions. I used to have more shoes, but I gave them away/sold them because I got married and moved into a smaller place with my wife. I used to keep them at my parents' home but it got to be too much for them, too.

Since I have cleaned out my closet I can honestly say that I only have 10 pairs of shoes now. I got rid of everything that was 5 or more years old or looked too beat up. I will have to go shopping though. My shoe shelves are too bare now!

I have 5 pairs, but only using 2 pairs, others just in shoes box, because it's a gift, and I feel it's not suit to me. Actually I have more than 5, but those were damaged because eaten by my dog :D

Hi I have 3 pairs of shoes. A pair or runners, sandels, and a pair of black dress shoes. My kids have more shoes than me. I definately do not have a shoe shopping addiction, I hate shopping for shoes.

I'm not a shoe person so I only buy a new one when really needed or when the one i'm using has been worn out already. Right now, i have 3 high-heel sandals. These i wear for formal occasions. Another is 2 slip-ons for matching with the jeans. Simple as I am, these shoes only have two colors: black and brown.

I have 5 pairs of shoes and 2 pair of sandals. I don,t really buy a lot of shoes and most of the pair I own have 4-5 years old lol. I almost always wear my running shoes. I feel comfortable in those and I don,t see why I should have more shoes lol

I have probably 25 pairs of shoes. About half are sneakers/work shoes, the rest are dress shoes, sandles, and flip flops. I usually have about 5 that are in active rotation, depending on the season, and a few that hardly ever get worn. I've been on a kick to get rid of the ones that are uncomfortable or that I don't wear (I donate them if they are still in good shape), and only buy comfortable shoes from now on. I have found a few high-heels I can wear for more than a few hours, so I know it is possible!

I have about twenty pair in my closet right now, but I usually stick to about three favorites. My daughters and granddaughters come over and raid my closet every now and then to help me get rid of some. I've always been a sho fanatic.
