ooh vote in the 3rd bracket then...there may have been a shoe poll - i may well have missed it as Im not interested in shoes. Clearly I now have a new found interest in shoes.

I own one pair of work shoes, one pair I dance in, one pair of kilt shoes, one pair of trainers, and my combat boots that are completley wrecked but do for gardening and DIY. (...and the occasional dance :innocent: )
Once a pair dies, I get another to replace it. Why do I need more?

Women don't want to count them ....... and to be honest men don't care enough about them to count them either. :what:

I have to admit that I have over 20 pairs, but that's because I found a guy that makes them really cheaply, and he's getting old, and I moved to a different country...
I've also included several pairs of combat boots, and the like.
I hope I didn't miss any when I was counting...

OK, the truth! I was going to dismiss this thread, as I honestly thought, I didn't have THAT many shoes :innocent: but after having a sort out today I'm truly shocked to find I have 62 pairs of various footwear! :eek: :blush: It really didn't look that many in the wardrobe, honest! :whistle:

one pair of kilt shoes, I'm imagining tartan shoes each with a tiny sporran! :waycool:
I couldn't count my shoes, it would take too long to track them down, (many of them go walkies), but with around 18 pairs of dance shoes, I think the with the various wellies, it must take the total over 30 pairs. And I don't have a single pair of women's shoes in my collection, as Andy can confirm!

actually........... I like shoes and when I voted I forgot to count some of my dance shoes, a few pairs in the cupboard ....and my red stilettos :D
I have all my 'dress' black ones on a rack on one side of the wardrobe and the brown/tan ones and a few casual ones on the other.
I even managed to choose some really nice boots for Fran the last time we went shopping ;)

Well colour me embarrassed by the sheer profusion of footwear in my wardrobes :blush: .
In my defence, 4 pairs are purely for dancing and 6 pairs are combat boots left over from a previous existence (but retained "just in case"!). I'm excluding my favourite pair of Blochs, lost at the end of a night at a venue, when distracted by the sight of a particularly beautiful woman, I clean forgot to put them in my bag. Sad, but true... (sigh)

At least all the evidence of this disaster has disappeared. A few years ago I had a lovely new pair of Cuban heeled dance shoes and got distracted, leaving just one shoe behind in a venue. That remaining shoe is so lovely I've still got it, and the unused cleaner I bought to go with it :tears:
But, looking on the bright side, at least I didn't have a matching handbag :clap:

Hmm, you're probably the person to advise me. Apart from my black and white Gandolfis, all my jazz booty shoes have been black. I feel a burst of colour coming on, what are the "in" shades of shoe for chaps at the moment then?

To be honest, the 'in' colour for guy's shoes is black. Putting aside black and whites which, for some observers, says more than 'I'm wearing dancing shoes', I would say that the most popular colour amongst guys is probably a touch of red in black dance trainers. But this is still a small minority compared to all-black.
Looking through my dance shoe collection I have black and white leather, black patent, black leather, beige leather, black suede and red/black dance trainers. My current favourites are my black and white shoes, but only because I've had them re-soled in suede and they're lovely to dance in :waycool: If I was going to buy a pair of shoes tomorrow I'd probably go for black leather, black and red leather or black leather with a touch of silver, if such a shoe exists.

I moved recently and even more shoes came to light that'd been hiding in a dressing-up wardrobe in the cellar. And, I've realised I forgot to count my 4 pairs of deck shoes, one pair of sailing trainers and 3 pairs of sailing boots, oh and 3 pairs of fencing shoes, two pairs of wellies, one green pair one black pair, two pairs of neoprene boots and two pairs of neoprene shoes, 3 pairs of trainers, two pairs of women's high-heels and a red and a blue pair of jelly sandals. Can I add them to my previous total? As Lory has already indicated, shoes just creep up on you :eek:
p.s. ..and a pair of motorcycling boots...

OK - I was resisting this as I'm a bit scared to find out the answer but I will count my shoes to see. I bought 2 new pairs yesterday :blush: but they were in the sale - one pair are really comfy loafers, great with jeans (leather and only £5, I couldn't leave them!) and little pink mules, perfect with my pink cardi... yes I know, you can come with almost any good 'reason' to buy shoes can't you! :clap:

Most of mine are black, but (thanks to various work trips to Houston Texas) many of them are boots. Once you've started wearing boots, its hard to go back to shoes - they feel sort of wimpy somehow (no offence intended)

Brilliant! a woman after my own heart..... are you coming to Weston on Saturday ?
Maybe all the 'shoe lovers' can get together for a drink and admire our shoes (just received a pair from Heavenly dance shoes this morning - gorgeous or what!)
Are you fanatical like me ? I have them all in their boxes labelled with a description or digital photo and in order i.e. evening / dance / boots etc. ?
