OP here. My kid is a girl. I guess I’m unusual in that I don’t buy her a lot of shoes?
What does she wear with dresses?
We don’t really dress her up for anything. With standard cotton dresses she wears her sneakers. I mostly want her to be comfortable, so I don’t have her wear special shoes with dresses.

+1
Her feet grow really slowly, so some shoes even wear out.
Based on the parents who start posts on DCUM, having only 2 pairs of shoes is typical.

1 pair of sneakers, 1 pair of ankle boots (in the summer, Natives), 1 pair rain boots, 1 pair snow boots.
I buy both the rain boots and snow boots a couple of sizes big so they last a while. They also get handed down from big sister to little sister.

That's more pairs of shoes than I have...
My 4 year old and 2 year old kids typically have 2 pairs per season-1 of the pairs is always sneakers and the other varies by season. right now it's snow/winter boots, in spring it'll be rain boots, in the summer sandals, in the fall probably back to rain boots. I used to buy cute, dressier shoes on occasion and then realized they never wore them and it was a waste. They outgrow/wear out their sneakers every couple months so basically we're buying 2 new pairs of shoes each season it seems=16 new pairs of shoes each year between the 2 kids. I can't imagine buying more.
You seriously don't have more than 6 pairs of shoes?

My 2 and 4yr old boys each have 3 pairs - 1 pair sneakers, 1 pair brown leather shoes for nicer events, 1 pair rain boots left at preschool.

My 18 month old twins each have a pair of sneakers, a pair of snow boots, and a pair of dressy shoes for church/holidays. Older kid has the same.

Same for our 4 yo. He has everyday sneakers and snow/rain boots. I think we have some backup sneakers in the closet as well. In the summer we have crocs and sneakers.

Our 2 year old has two pairs of shoes at any given time: a pair of sneakers for daycare and, because it’s winter, a pair of snow/rain boots.
We never thought it was necessary to have more than that. Is this typical?
