Too many to count, most good ones bought in sales. My favourite a pair of Ecco boots, reduced from £60 to £25.

Bought nice sandals last year, never worn them because of the bad weather we had.

Only buy comfortable shoes now, and when I see the fashion ones, laugh because I was wearing them in the 1950's.

My thing is boots - I find them hard to resist when I go shopping. And some are still unworn.
But I've never got 'the right pair' for the outfit so always 'need' more!

I was very good and sent loads of shoes I am never going to wear again to the charity shop... they were nearly all Gabor with heels 3 to 5 inches, and it broke my heart to part with them.

I am left with 1 pair of wellies, 5 pairs of high boots that I can't wear, two that I can hobble in, 1 pair of black ankle boots, 1 unworn pair brown ankle boots, 5 pairs of high heels that I cannot wear but have sentimental value, at least 10 pairs of toe post sandals and three pairs of trainers.

But can only really wear the trainers at the moment!!

Love

Imelda is my middle name lol I wear boots in winter, have about 6 pairs but usually wear the same pair all the time cos they are most comfy lol
When the weather warms up I mostly wear flipflops, the leather ones, have dozens of pairs of all styles, colours, designs etc some unworn still.
Have some lovely stilettos and similar heeled shoes but find them hard to wear now as I have arthritis in the big toe on my right foot. I take an 8 too.

Well I am soooo hard-done-by

I have exactly one pair of shoes that I wear day in day out.

One pair of sandles for summer.
One pair of shoes worn once but feet are now too swollen to fit into them
One pair of shoes that went with an outfit 5 years ago. Ditto the same as above

I have my wedding shoes in my suitcase with rest of wedding outfit. These are lovely 2inch stilletos *sigh*

One pair of trainers- hardly worn - find it hard to bend down and tie up laces.!

Two pairs of slippers - one pair pink and fluffy totally the wrong slippers to wear the other pair "elderly" ones for my swelling feet.

IF I was able to wear lovely high heels would have loads of them but flat sensible XXXX wide shoes are not the same.

too scared to count how many, just got a lovely pair of pink patent ones . . . really they are beautiful but had to have some in another colour as well.

Sketchers are a fave of min too I have a few pairs of these.

I have nearly as many handbags . . to go with the shoes obviously!

Where do you ladies store 100´s of shoes?
Are you joking?

My shoes consist of the following:

2 pair of walking boots
1 strong flat black pair
1 brown mule
1 pewter coloured sandles
1 old sandles for house
1 pair of slippers
1 old pair for gardening

I did have another pair but next door´s boxer dog has a fetish for shoes and when I was sleeping on sun lounger (after working hours in the garden of course) he crept up and stole BOTH shoes. (both chewed to bits when recovered) My neighbour´s land is full of desecrated trainers and boots etc. which he has stolen!

Three pairs of walking boots, 1 pair wellies, 2 pairs black boots, I pair red baseball boots, 1 pair cowboy boots, 1 pair Ugg style boots, 1 pair wedding shoes from 12 years ago, 2 pairs clogs, no shoes.

It's not that I don't buy shoes. I have size 10 feet, so I rarely buy shoes unless they're for a specific outing. Ladies think yourselves lucky that you have small feet and can walk into any shop and buy shoes!
