[Misc] How many pairs of shoes do you have?

GREASED WEASEL · Feb 2, 2022

The reason for the question is

Just now on French TV they were discussing waste and having things you don't need

Now my French wife is always saying how scruffy I am compared with her compatriots

And in this piece on French TV ,apparently the average frenchman has 18 pairs of shoes!

I currently have 3 pairs and a pair of trainers

You?

Shoes… not many

Trainers … far too many

Alonso Moseley · Feb 2, 2022

5 and a half. It’s definately here somewhere

Swansman · Feb 2, 2022

Two, both "trainers" (I think, depending on the exact definition) as my knees cant handle regular shoes.

sparkie · Feb 2, 2022

I own 4 shoes.

Luckily 2 are right and 2 are left.

15 pairs of shoes and sports shoe/trainers plus two pairs of summer sandals an a pair of wellies. Blimey, that's 18 monsieur!

One pair of shoes for weddings and funerals
One pair of walking boots
One pair of work boots
One pair of trainer/walking whatever’s for leisure
One pair of flip flops for putting the rubbish out

My son on the other hand would give Imelda Marcos a run for her money

Formal brown, formal black, everyday brown, everyday black, couple of pairs heavy duty waterproof boots, three pairs of trainers, wellies……I’m in to double figures. Have to admit the formals don’t get used often and trainers only come out of the weather is good. Generally I could probably get away with just a couple of pairs. I’m not too heavy on shoes and reluctant to chuck out ones that are still usable. Je ne suis pas Francais.

Depends if you count sports specific stuff. Off the top of my head:

2 pairs brown leather boots
2 pairs brown leather shoes
1 pair black leather shoes
3 pairs various sandals / similar
7 pairs Adidas trainers for everyday stuff
3 pairs Asics / Onitsuka Tiger trainers for everyday stuff
2 pairs cricket boots
4 pairs football boots (hard ground / softground / astro)
1 pair golf shoes
2 pairs running trainers
1 pair walking boots
1 pair work boots

Doesn’t really feel like particularly a lot of any one thing :shrug:

Where as my wife counts shoes by the crate/wardrobe....

BN9 BHA · Feb 2, 2022

2 pairs of shoes, I can’t actually remember the last time I wore them though as I don’t really like shoes, apart from a pair of walking shoes.
I have 15+ pairs of trainers, a few pairs of decent boots if the weather doesn’t suit wearing trainers.
Also got at least 4 pairs of work boots.
1 pair of wellies.

Lindfield by the Pond · Feb 2, 2022

1 pair Work shoes
1 pair formal black
1 pair formal brown
1 pair knackered ex work shoes for the garden

I find it very difficult to comprehend 18 pairs? Where do you keep them?

Butch Willykins · Feb 2, 2022

Running Shoes - 5
Trainers - 14
Shoes - 10
Boots - 3
Flip Flops/Sliders - 6

So errrr, just the 44 pairs of footwear.
