So that's one for every day of the month and a spare? Sounds reasonable :-D

Ahh but do you know how many miles each pair has done? When I used to run I had less pairs but logged their mileage in a spreadsheet!1

I track the ones i wear in garmin connect.1 -
I hope you don't store them that way, doesn't seem like an efficient way. Otherwise, impressive spread2

Shoe problem? No.
Storage problem? Maybe.5 -
Which is your favorite?

How many of them do you run in? There is such a huge variance in fit and ride across all those shoes...3
-
That's like $2000-$3000 worth of shoes???2

I probably run in a quarter to a third of them, and once in a while dig out a pair i have not used in a while just to switch things up.
As my form has improved and my joints have developed, i tend to like the more normal/minimal cushioned & more flexible shoes. I find too much cushioning makes me work harder because i'm fighting all that cushioning.0 -

I wouldn't call that a problem. More like an achievement. 3

Course not.
You're good.2 -
This thread is enabling me to buy a new pair of running shoes this weekend

If we only bought the necessary in life the economy would collapse and life would be boring

Or satisfying.1 -
Yes, you have a problem. Those Bondi 4's are going to wear out way too fast and probably start tilting outwards. Other than that, no problem.1

I think the economy will survive if I don't buy 32 pairs of $130 running shoes
I mean if it makes you happy then have at it, who am I to judge. 2 -

I've been buying up knock off quick fit bands for my F5x on Amazon, for anywhere from $3 to $10 each. Lots of different colored. I wear a blue one on nice days when there's blue in the sky, or a more colorful one on rainy days when everything is gray. Based on your show collection, I think you might have fun browsing "26 mm easy fit bands" on Amazon. 2 -

Now you just opened up a whole nother can of worms.
I have a fitness device problem too. Not just the bands but the devices. I have owned just about every device on the market for the past 3 to 4 years.
Garmin
Suunto
Polar
Fitbit
Samsung
Apple
Microsoft
TomTom
Jawbone
Basis
And probably a few others.
And i don't even know how much i spent on them... LOL.
They probably have my picture posted at REI and BestBuy... 2 -
Do you sleep with them like that on the bed? Maybe donate some of them so you have sufficient room for sleeping?3

You have a problem I wish I had... I have one pair of running shoes with 263 miles already on them. I’ll be due soon for a new pair but they’re so pricey 😞. It really sucks when it rains and you have to wear a wet pair the next morning on a long run.3

I have a jacket problem. It's a good problem to have. 2

Why do you have so many pairs?0

Excellent question.
When i first started power walking, i decided to go to a local state park and do a 5 mile power walk. Back then i only had 2 pair of regular sneakers (the cheap department store ones). the pair i wore, and the old pair that i cut the grass with.
I got about 2.5 miles into the power walk and my feet where hurting so bad i didn't think i could take another step. At that point, either way i went i still had 2.5 miles to walk to get back to my car.
The first thing i thought was... damn... if i'm going to do this every day i need much better shoes.
After that i went on a quest for the perfect shoes for power walking and running. I learned a lot about shoes along the way. for example... the best power walking shoes are good running shoes, but not all good running shoes are good for power walking, and regular walking shoes will wear out very quickly if used for power walking. Running shoes are made to take a pounding. Walking shoes, not so much.
Since my form has improved and my joints have become more developed, i tend to lean more towards the less cushioned shoes now, but the more cushioned ones i still use for recovery stuff.
These shoes are accumulated over years.1
