I've never counted my shoes, but I suspect I might have 40-50, if you count the boots, sandals, dress shoes, casual shoes. I have a stand up shoe tree that holds about 20 pairs, in the closet. The rest are on the shelves of my walk in closet, which probably could be used for other things!
Of course, this doesn't count my 2 pair of cycling shoes, 2 pair of cycling winter shoes, ski boots, running shoes, water shoes, or 2 pair of hiking shoes.
I just counted. I have 24 pairs of shoes. That's the most I think I've ever had, since I recently bought three pair at REI on sale and I haven't yet gotten rid of the old ones they are replacing. I don't have adequate room for all of them, so I will be getting rid of the older ones. I tend to wear shoes out completely before replacing them and I have several pairs that are not really wearable anymore (holes, flapping soles).
I have a shelf/ledge that runs completely around the walk in closet. I have the summer shoes up there in winter and the winter shoes there is summer. I also have hiking, cycle, and other sport shoes and regular shoes at my other house. I hate carrying things back and forth.Quote:

I just went into the deep recesses of my shoe rack to find the 2 pairs of high heels that I own. One was bought for a wedding, and the other was a gift. I've worn both once. They sit there waiting to become vintage. They will last forever at this rate.
In addition to 15 prs. in another city, of which I wear up to 4 different pairs when I'm there, I have 10 prs. of shoes and boots where I am living now plus 3 prs. at work which I rotate depending on the business wear outfit of the day. Most of time it's casual business wear, but still not the same shoes all the time.
By the end of the winter I will toss out 1 pr. of tall dress boots that have been well-worn and well-loved for past.....10 years. Well, living in Vancouver previously I didn't have to wear the boots that often which is why I made them last so long.
