How Many Pairs Of Shoes Do You All Own?

[lilac_wine]

I was cleaning out my closet earlier (always a job that takes a couple of days ) and rearranging my shoes, I thought it might be fun to ask everyone how many pairs of shoes they own and what kind of shoes that may be.

So here's my list:
- black low dr. Martens
- black globe sneakers
- ancient adidas sneakers that were blue in a previous life, but after years of wearing them are now a charming grey-blue with paint-stains on them. I still love them though.
- Teva sandals, not very elegant but really comfy for taking long walks, I’ve had them for 4 years and they are still not worn out!
- dark brown leather strappy flat sandals that have been in my possession for about 5 years
- cream Audley slingbacks with a 5 cm. heel
- the measuring tape sandals I posted before (under 'I bought new shoes-what do you measure')
- black ballet type flats with 6 elastic 'mary jane' straps
- black army boots that I bought about 6 years ago and haven't worn in about 3 years because I don't like the army-message that they send out
- sky blue flip flops
- black cotton chinese mary jane type house-shoes
- black wool house shoes for the winter
- limegreen pumps, hideous as hell, but I wore them in a play in highschool and just to look at them makes me remember the good times I had
- black nike's for gymclass in highschool (never worked out since )

God I wish I was rich so I could buy more shoes
I may have forgotten some, but that's my humble list. Now share yours!

I own around 150 pair of different shoes...

[Caramel]

I'll list the ones I can remember, but I don't think it's very interesting, no fancy designer shoes or anything...

- Dark brown leather trainers
- Rainbow stripey converse shoes (my new )
- Beige and red converse sneakers
- Black leather ballet flats
- Black strappy 4-inch stilettos
- Gold strappy stillettos (my favourite pair, they used to be my grandmother's)
- Gold flat strappy sandals
- Olive green suede loafers (look like little elf shoes! )
- White slip-in shoes
- Dark blue slip-in shoes
- Dark blue 'boxing' shoes (impulse buy, I hate them and have never wore them )
- Black knee-length boots
- Deep red ankle stilletto boots
- Black high Dr.Martens
- Leather/white walking thong sandals
- Leather flip-flops
- 'Roman' leather flat sandals
- Dark brown flat strappy sandals
- Beige mules
- Black high heeled strappy sandals
- Black slip-in sandals
- Dark grey flat strappy sandals
- Wedges with dark leather straps ( )
- Black loafers (almost never worn, they're not very 'me')
- Black trainers
- Red New Balance trainers
- White with pink flowers converse lookalike shoes
- Red high heeled strappy sandals with white trim (super-cute!)
- Turquoise ballet slippers with dark blue embroidery
- A collection of rubber flip-flops, including stripey ones, turquoise, red, pink, black...
- Tan ankle boots
- 3 pairs of chunky winter shoes from ART, a necessity for winter here.
- Black strappy wedges ( Bought the last time wedges were cool, and I was young and stupid! )
- Black Nike aerobic shoes...needless to say they haven't been worn much by me...
- My beloved old old dark blue and white Puma sneakers

These are the ones I can remember that I have in the apartment (wish I had much much more )...I usually give away trainers and other 'everyday' shoes to my sister when I get tired of them, or else I wouldn't have enough room.

-(Four year old falling apart but still in tact) gray Puma sneakers (they've stopped making them! )
-Light/medium brown square toe wooden soled flat maryjane-ish shoes, made by Miu Miu, I found them in a second hand store, so they were not very expensive!
-Black flat maryjane shoes with two bunjee cord straps and gold-colored fastenings
-An assortment of black, pink, and white, leather and canvas ballet slippers with suede bottoms that I got from the place I used to work! You pull the elastic strings at the front so they scrunch up and you tie them in a bow!

So I guess in total, it makes about...oh...3 real shoes, 6 if you count the slippers!

[HBoogie]

this is all I can think of off the top of my head but there are more...

*light blue suede dirty velcro Gola sneakers
*black leather "retro" Saucony running sneakers
*tan suede and white NM70 sneakers (once had sequined stripes but I had to take off all the sequins)
*brown suede slip-on shoes, not really loafers but more like a Clarks Wallaby-inspired shoe

*hot pink round-toe flats with big button on toe
*black rubber Old Navy flip-flops
*black mock-croc flip-flops
*red sequined Chinese slippers
*black sequined Chinese slides that won't stay on my feet! (I've been meaning to donate these)
*basic black calf-length, mid-height heel, pointy-toe black boots from Nine West
*10-eyelet black Dr. Martens boots
*black calf-length "sporty" boot from Nine West
*tan flat suede sandals I wear to work everyday
*white faux Dr. Scholls sandals that I used to wear to work
*grey camouflage print slip-on sneakers from GapKids (like the old-school Vans boat shoe style)
*turquoise blue kitten heel pumps, customized with gold paint slashes on the toes
*bronze-colored kitten heel pumps with ruched detail on toe
*brown pointy-toe quasi-cowboy boots with ruched front

ot: I don't think they're hermes... looking at them right now, the insignia looks like a horse carriage racing - a chariot or something... very odd mystery that's puzzled me since I bought them.
