The correct number of shoes to own:

[+Frank B. Subscriber²]

2 - 3 pairs of the same kind are enough imho.

[Nick H. Supervisor]

Let me just work through how many I have...

2 pairs for every day wear. One has more grip for the winter.

1 pair for my suit.

1 pair of snow boots.

1 pair that I haven't worn yet.

Hmm, I guess I should have selected the 4-9 pairs of differing varieties. But in fairness I really only wear 1 pair of shoes, the ones that are on my feet right now, and looking at the list I've just made I think I have a few too many shoes.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

2 - 3 are more than enough

[Duffydemon]

2 pairs for everyday use, and 1 pair of formal shoes is enough.

Are we counting sandals and boots as shoes then?

If we are then I can add 2 pairs of flip-flops, my wellies and my walking boots.

Where do we stand on slippers? I have a pair (gift) but I never wear them. Can't stand things on my feet when I'm in the house.
