I think that this is a reasonable number of shoes, especially if there is going to be any dressing up while on the trip. It's generally a good practice to rotate through shoes so that you're not wearing the same pair every day, particularly for good leather shoes. Two pair of good walking shoes, dressy shoes and athletic or beach shoes = 4 pair.

I've switched to packing light over the past few years, and the one thing I hate about it is not being able to rotate shoes. I love not schlepping the stuff around, but my feet complain when I wear the same shoes for a week straight.
