How many pairs of shoes do you wear regularly?
Edited on Mon Jun-21-10 07:23 AM by Bertha Venation
I wear

black lace-up work shoes, one pair (I wear kinda what amounts to a uniform at work, neat dark slacks and button downs)

tennis shoes, one pair

Crocs slides, one pair

slippers in winter, one pair

That's it.

A cow-irker just said "one of my turquoise pairs of shoes . . ." I thought, you have more than one pair of turquoise shoes? (?!)

How many pairs of shoes do you wear regularly, and what are they?

Or, if you like, how many pairs of shoes do you have?

5. LOL - I have sneaks in multiple colors that I rotate based on
which scrub I'm wearing that day: white, tan, b/w, blk/lime, blue, and purple

On weekends in summer - my black Croc slides or Nike blk/orange strapped sandals
On weekends in winter - felted mules (talk about cozy)

I haven't worn heels or dressy boots in months and months and months - they're in the closet somewhere...still in moving box...

Trying on shoes is not my favorite shopping and don't expect to need any for quite awhile, TG.

13. 4
I have an old pair of lined croc-like sketchers I wear as slippers around the house (3 years old)

I have a pair of brown converse one-stars and a pair of vans I alternate between as my "going out of the house" shoes

I have 1 pair of sneakers that stay at work because I am required to have facility dedicated shoes to avoid bringing in contaminants.

15. I must have 13 pairs of shoes if you count all types of footwear...
I have 5 pairs of boots, 3 pairs of good loafers and a pair of boat shoes, 3 pairs of athletic shoes, one strictly for the gym, and a pair of those old euro/hippie sandals (Betulas).

Nothing in turquoise, though...

17. shoes that fit?
I have several pair of shoes that turned out to be uncomfortable after bringing them home. They need to be donated somewhere.

Aside from that:

black croc mary janes
brown lands end waterproof warm shoes
black slides for warm weather dressup
black city sneakers
navy water shoes for gardening
black ankle boots for winter dressup
moccasin slippers

It took me five years of hunting to find the black city sneakers. Love them.
