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).
