    Easy answer...not enough! I got rid of most of my shoes when my feet started swelling like crazy a couple of years ago. It's now time to replenish :-)

    probably about 40. fave boot brand is Frye, athletic shoe is Nike, and fave brand for dressy pumps is Jimmy Choo....hmmm or Gucci. I work at Nordstrom so it's super easy to go over board.

    Nordstrom is one of my favorite places to buy shoes. :)

    Geez...between Winter and Summer...probably close to 100 easily (from Cole Hahn to Chanel).... I love shoes! You can have a cheap outfit and pair it with a stylist shoe and look like a million bucks!

    I'm not really a shoe person. I love heels but I can't walk in them, and money never seems to permit me buying lots of flats.

    I have:
    3 pairs of flat shoes - 1 of the shoes are like those ballet flats though so I can only really wear them in summer, the only time when it's not wet / miserable / cold!

    1 pair of trainers.

    Around 5 pairs of heels, I don't know exact. I only wear them on nights out though. Heels hurt!

    I didn't count but I have over 30 pairs I think. But I hate collecting shoes.. I wear them all.. I just don't buy and don't wear them or wear them once. I utilize all my shoes! Now ask me how many shirts I own! I can definitely say I have tons of shirts/sweaters etc. I love shirts!

    These are what I'm wearing today. People always think I'm crazy for having over 200 pairs, but I really do wear them all! I usually bring 2-3 pairs a day to work with me, because I like to wear so many. I've done really well lately though, and haven't bought a single pair in 9 days!

    Like 100. Seriously. Shoes are my crack....

    I think somewhere around 100 now. The last ones I bought were some brown corduroy sneakers from Old Navy. I don't have a favorite brand, though when I lived close to a Naturalizer outlet store, I found some fantasic shoes in there for next to nothing, so I bought a lot of those. Really cute, too. I don't know why that store has a rep for being dowdy because I can promise, NONE of my shoes are dowdy!

    I am totally addicted to shoes...I have about 70 pairs.....most never worn!....the last pair I bough was this weekend at Naturalizer and they are so awesome....nice heal, the colour is a cross between orange and red...really retro looking..peep toe!

    Girls are crazy! I can't imagine owning 20-30 pairs of shoes I have never worn. I usually only purchase shoes that will be worn. Granted my heels only get worn once every few weeks. But at least they are still used. lol. My bf convinced my to get boots (like nice girly ones) and then I had a major dilemma as to whether spending $100 of boots was going to be worth it. But I did it, and now I wear them. But probably not as much as I'd like.

    Two pairs: one pair of sneakers and one pair of dress shoes. I would also own maybe two or three more pairs if I had money, but I intentionally try to limit how much I own.

    26 pairs of high heels, 14 pairs of flats/ballerina shoes, 3 pairs of sneakers, 4 pairs of boots, 5 pairs of flip flops, 2 pairs of strappy sandals.

    ...and yet I wear the same pair of shoes every day.

    I have 6 pairs. 1- converse, 1- work out shoes, 2- flip flops, 1- flats, 1- sandals. Out of those I don't wear 3 pairs very much. If I could I would have a whole lot more.

    If you ask my husband he'd say- Too many
    If you ask me - I say NOT ENOUGH

    I own over 75 pairs of shoes, most never worn... I tend to wear sneakers and flats most days

    My 21 year old daughter owns 45 pairs of sneakers and ONE pair of actual shoes. She also has over 100 purses... brat!!

    My two other daughters 8 and 10 have about 40 pairs of shoes between the two of them (they wear the same size)

    My husband has 3 pairs of shoes (sneakers, dress shoes, and work shoes) and a pair of work boots.....

    I'm a shoe addict!!!! And the fact that DSW is always sending me coupons doesn't help!!! My 8yr old daughter wants to work at DSW when she gets older LOL

    I have size 12 in women's feet... I have a black pair, a blue pair, and a white pair of sneakers. One tan and one black pair of flip flops. One brown and one black pair of flats, one pair of work out shoes that only touch the gym floor. One pair of black low heels and one pair of black high heels, and 3 pairs of slippers, one blue, one light tan, and one crazy pattern to match my VS PJs! That's 10 pairs of shoes, 13 if you count the slippers. I try to throw out any shoes that I replace... Like I just replaced my black sneakers so I threw the old pair out. No need to keep broken shoes!!

    4. I'm a rarity in the female species.

    I have big feet so it's hard to get excited about shoes when the ones that fit me look like something my grandma would wear!

    my issue is trying to find nice shoes that fit a wider foot :(
    Presently i;ve found some gorgeous heels at Naturalizer of all places, and i love them as they fit wide!

    It's just as well i have this issue really as otherwise i would have WAY more shoes than the 12 pairs i have *L*

    Wearing my fave pair (i adore heels though also own steel toed work boots *L*) in the last pic on this thread:

    About 100. I wear an odd size( 10w or 11 reg) and when I find the cute/comfy/fitting combo, I buy! I can't help it! And I try to rotate so I don't beat one pair up too bad. I probably have the most in heels/wedges, then boots in second, followed by flip flops, flats (b/c of work, then sneakers.

    My fave brands are:
    Torrid brand heels
    Deb wedges
    Dollhouse boots
    Adidas/Reebok Sneakers

    The last pair of shoes I bought was Saturday and I bought two pairs of two different hues of tan/brown wedges. One was a Japanese brand called Yaki and one was Ralph Lauren.

    About 50 pairs currently and I love them all - my other half won't let me buy anymore until we have figured out more storage space as we renovate the house - little does he know my plans to make the study a walk in wardrobe......hehe :-) another 50 pairs!!

    ahhhh i totally know what you mean-i do the same thing!
    last summer i tried to wear every single pair of shoes once...but gave up after 3 weeks.

    I have absolutely no idea. I've never counted, but if I had to guess I'd say somewhere around 60-80 pairs. And that's probably a modest estimate. The bad thing is that, like some others who have already posted, I probably only wear 5-6 pairs of those regularly. Once I hit my goal weight I plan to donate a lot of my shoes, too. I figure since I'll be purging my old wardrobe I probably won't need the same shoes. (Yes, some shoes go specifically with certain outfits.) Someone at the local St. Vincent's is going to hit the jackpot in a few more months!

    This is so true!!!! I will spend money on shoes and bargain for an outfit! It's all about the shoes

    I've never actually counted them but i'd say atleast 50-60 pairs it would be alot more but when i moved in with my other half i had to sacrafice alot of shoes so he had room for his things, the bottom of my wardrobe is lined with shoes, i have a laundry basket full to the brim in my bedroom, behind my front door i keep my everyday shoes and in the attic i have ones that i don't have the heart to throw out, oh and flipflops etc in a suitcase under my bed for the summer.
    I have a thing for black heels aswell i currently own 6 pairs, high wedges, little wedges, patent heels, black heels with a little bow, black peep toe with gold heel and just plain black!
    I need a new pair of trainers and work shoes, and i'd quite like some converse aswell so that's 3 pairs soon to be added to my collection :)

    Girls are crazy! I can't imagine owning 20-30 pairs of shoes I have never worn. I usually only purchase shoes that will be worn.

    Well in my defense... (not that I need an excuse... hehe) I do some work as a shoe and stocking model, so sometimes I'll buy something if I think it will look great being photographed.. and then I'll only wear it for photo shoots. :)

    I own...under 10 pairs of shoes.

    My favorite pair are my ballerina-style flats from Cros. They're super cute...and comfy. ^_^

    Average answer...

    That is so so so so so funny. The funniest part is that it is so true for so many woman.

    I have
    3 pairs of tennis shoes, 1 for running, 1 for the gym and 1 for biking
    3 pairs of boots, 1 is for work and 2 are Doc Martins that I bought 13 years ago and got both pairs for $45.00. They were regularly priced at $130.00 each.
    2 pair of black dress shoes, 1 for winter and 1 for summer
    2 pair of brown dress shoes, 1 for winter and 1 for summer
    1 pair of brown sketcher casual shoes that I wear with jeans
    1 pair of dressy flip flops
    2 pair regular flip flops
    So I guess that is 14 pairs of shoes.
    If I had to I could cut it down. I normally only wear the work boots, the running shoes and the biking shoes on any given week.
