How many pairs of shoes do you own?

Anonymous
Be honest.

I am about to corral them all and count. I really have no idea but my guestimate is about 40 -50 pairs. Including all shoes, flip flops, rain boots etc.

I want to get down to a smaller number and would love to hear from shoe minimalists on their tips.

guessing about 30 with everything- about 10 I could give away/ replace right now.

You want honest?

Several hundred, and that's a low ball estimate. I own well over a hundred pairs of Manolos (yes, DCUM has ripped me apart for this in the past) and well over a hundred pairs of sneakers. So if you throw in other brands of heels, other types of shoes, etc., it's probably a ridiculous amount by DCUM standards. But shoes and purses are my thing so I don't see downsizing ever being a part of my future.

5?
My sneakers.
My flip flops for inside the house
My flip flops for outside the house
Black boots. I wore than once about a year ago for an interview
A pair of black mary janes with heels. The snap pops off so I don't wear them anymore. I should give them away.

I want a pair of driving mocs for work but haven't been able to find any.

I think I have about 10. But I reliably wear about 4.

I'm jealous of those of you who could clearly give two f%ks about shoes.

Must make getting ready, packing etc, so much easier.

For those of you who have over 100 pairs - how do you store them? I've probably got 30 - 40 including slippers and rain boots and storage is already tricky. I have no idea how I'd begin to store so many pairs - I feel like they'd be forgotten. Genuinely curious what system you use.

I love shoes and would have more if I thought I could store them in a way I'd really use them.

I'm poor and live in a tiny one bedroom apartment with two people. I don't know where you think I'm going that I need to pack. The last time I got on an airplane was 3 years ago to take my daughter to Disney. I wore my sneakers and packed my outside flip flops. The time before that when I packed, it was 7 years ago to go to my grandfather's funeral. I wore my sneakers, packed my black heels and flip flops. I can't afford to care about shoes. I'm going to work until the day I drop dead. I have zero retirement money. I have $1200 in my savings account. You have no reason to be jealous of me.

I'm the PP w/ several hundred pairs... As far as storage goes, I have one wall in my bedroom dedicated as a display - the longest wall - with custom floor to ceiling displays where most of my "day to day" heels sit. And I have another bedroom that I've turned into a changing room and all 4 walls have floor to ceiling custom displays. Anything not on those displays, I keep in an extra large storage closet in clear shoe bins. So sneakers, flip flops, sandals mainly. My "luxury" sneakers that I wear pretty often (Yeezy's, Jordan's) have 1 IKEA display shelf in another part of my bedroom. I'm fortunate to have the space that I do and I'm even luckier that one of my friends is an interior designer so she helped me plan, design, and build exactly what I needed.
