    None! I hate running worse than death. Not so keen on walking either. I am so thankful for bicycles!

    I have one pair for running, and one pair that I wear to the gym....when the outdoor running shoes get worn down I swap them for the indoor ones and then buy a new pair to wear to the gym. I have a couple pairs of old ones that I keep around for walking the dog or doing things like Warrior Dashes. They were collecting old running shoes for charity at the Rock & Roll Marathon in June so I donated several pairs then.

    Four.

    One for the gym, never use them outside.

    One for outside use, when I wear jeans or shorts.
    When the outside ones get old, they become grass cutting shoes.
    When the grass cutting shoes get old, they become "muck" or camping shoes. Shoes I'd use to visit my buddy's farm, or tar the driveway. After this, it's shoe heaven.

    Much to my wife's dismay, there are upwards of a dozen pairs sitting around right now. I need to donate the old ones this weekend.

    Just one. I wear them until there's nothing left! That's about all I can afford!

    1 use only for running, just ordered a 2nd pair to rotate in and out...and then I have 2 older pairs that I keep for day to day activities. 3 of those 4 are the same style of Saucony's.

    1 and recently wonder if it would be frivolous to pick up a 2nd pair.

    They always seem to be at work when I want to hit the gym on a weekend and at home when I want to go workout at lunchtime during the week.

    one pair of Brooks and one pair of Newtons that I rotate.
    one pair of Avi Bolt II lightweight trainers/racing shoes.
    one retired pair of Brooks I wear for yardwork.

    Two - One Terra Plana Barefoot Vivo, for everything under 7 miles
    Nike Free for all runs over 7 miles.

    My everyday shoes are "Earth" shoes which have negative heal drop to stretch the hams.
