    a girl got into my truck tonight, on the way to see star wars, and to make room for her, i had to shove 3 pairs of shoes behind the seats...she commented that i have a lot of shoes for a guy...so i was wondering if this is really true. i mean, i know the standard used to be that guys could live off of 3 pairs of shoes...but i can't.

    here's my list:

    -black dress shoes
    -brown dress shoes
    -clean black skate shoes (for going out in jeans)
    -clean white skate shoes (barely ever wear them)
    -dirty skate shoes (for mowing the lawn or just whatever)
    -outdoor basketball shoes
    -indoor basketball shoes
    -sandals
    -soccer cleats
    -steel toe boots

    so yeh, 10 pairs of shoes...what do you have?

    but you don't even know how much more than 20 it is. I'm just gonna say it's a lot more and leave it at that lest the vultures on this board subject me to further ridicule :)

    Do flip-flops count? If so, I've got...

    flip-flops:
    - black (2 pair)
    - white (2 pair)
    - blue (3 pair - dark, medium, and light)
    - purple
    - red
    - orange-ish
    - brown
    at least 2 pairs of brown heels
    black heels
    silver heels
    black boots
    3 pairs of tennis shoes
    and a pair of sandals....
    That makes at least 20 right there.


    Then there's all the other shoes I've bought for special occasions that I haven't worn since, but since I paid for them, I won't throw them away just yet. But those don't really count....

    I probably have a bunch of old shoes in the closet somewhere, but they don't count because I never, I mean never, wear them. In terms of normal shoe rotation:

    -running shoes that I wear most days, most places
    -flip flops (for whenever I think I should remember what's in style... still, both of my pairs are so last year, but I'm not buying any more and everyone is going to have to deal with these)
    -dress shoes (2 duplicate pairs)

    Other specialty shoes that are necessary sometimes: water shoes, old tennis shoes, hiking boots. Also, some different dress shoes that my mom keeps giving me that I never bother to wear.

    I don't understand some girls' fascination with shoes. Whatever works, I guess. I don't understand why they're supposed to be fun to buy or make you feel special. To me, they're something that you wear on your feet, and that's that. I have enough trouble deciding what to wear every day without having to pick out different shoes too.

    Hmmm... I have a decent amount of pairs but the thing is that I tend to wear the same couple of pairs day in day out... I don't have a massive rotation, as Isabel mentioned about herself.

    Anyway,

    - Football boots x3 (soccer)
    - same as arno, astroturf soccer shoes
    - usual pair of trainers (sneakers)
    - outdoor basketball
    - another older pair of outdoor basketball that I use for other stuff
    - old shoes
    - dress shoes brown
    - dress shoes black

    basketball/sports shoes

    the same type of shoes for wearing to class and other non-active things. these eventually replace the basketball shoes when those wear out.

    black dress shoes

    1 walking sneaker pair (wearing them now)
    2 basketball-playing pair (one is old, one is semi-new)
    3 dressy-casual-working pair
    1 soccer cleats pair

    I make my tennis shoes and sneakers last 2 to 3 years. I have only purchased 2 pair since my kids were born. My kids' shoe needs come before my anything needs.

    so THAT'S why I can never get picked up in a basketball game, because I only have one pair of basketball shoes! All this time, I thought it was because I can't dribble or shoot very well...
