How many pairs of footwear do you own?

[ebikeerwidnes]

Damn - I forgot my cycling shoes

think that puts me up to 9 ish

I probably have about 15 or so pairs of shoes and boots I wear regularly, 6 or 7 I wear occasionally and around 10 to 12 I hardly or never wear. I have shoes I've bought and hardly worn still in/with their box. I should/could sell them on fleabay, but I can't be bothered and I might just want to wear them one day. 🤔

Not much eco-awareness in this thread.

I've got shoes over 30 years old I still wear, never throw things away that are still serviceable, likewise my Bike Leather that I bought in 1978 still gets worn although it needs a new zip

As a follow up to the “How many bike..” thread
For me it’s :
3 pairs “best “ for town, pub and such,
1 pair for work, except when I need to wear,
1 pair PPE “steelies”
1pair trainers for dog walking,
1pair hiking boots for extreme dog walking.
2 pairs carpet slippers.

Would help with the refinement regarding owning and using. Especially in the case of my present partner (got to 49 years, yesterday)

1 pair work / smart shoes
2 pairs generic trainers
A pair that were specific running shoes, but I don't run anymore, so I use them on the indoor bike trainer
Actual cycling shoes (SPD)
Erm... that's it

2 x good shoes
1 x 1940s style shoes
2 x good boots
2 x good trainers
1 x old trainers for work
1 x work boots
1 work shoes
4 x running shoes

Mrs stephec used to have over 30 pairs of heels, and an unknown number of boots, the collection's been trimmed now though so is probably only in the teens.

Not counting cycling shoes I have three pairs.

Summer trainers, winter walking boots, posh shoes. Becuase I have so few the main ones generally last a season and get binned.

Birkenstocks x1
Flip flops x1
Work boots x1
Work trainers x1
Beach shoes x1
Walking boots x1
Salomon trainers x3
North wave winter cycling shoes x1
Shimano cycling shoes x3
Muck boot wellies x1
Down slippers x1
Chelsea boots x1

I think that’s it. Not worn the Chelsea boots in 5 years. The deck shoes were bought to get married in, although I should have just worn Birkenstocks.

I’ve a few coats too….

Not much eco-awareness in this thread.

No much eco awareness in UK full stop. Most adults still own and drive a car, still run the heating rather put a jumper on for instance.
