how many pairs of shoes do you own?763 views |
| rachel - 6/9/08, 9:07 pm |
| count EVERY single pair-- flip flops, athletic specialty shoes, slippers, snow boots, water shoes,
hiking boots, dress shoes you never wear, ones you haven't worn in years but still have but they're
dusty, etc. I have 19, which I feel like is average for most of the US, but high for people on lemmingtrail, and low for most girls. |
| hellrell - 6/9/08, 9:08 pm |
| i have a retarded amount of shoes, and i dont know where most of them are. |
| evanparker - 6/9/08, 9:09 pm |

| mR. id - 6/9/08, 9:11 pm |
| Like 3 or 4. One of which I wear regularly. One of which I wear sometimes (party shoes). One nice pair. One pair of boots or something. |
| jonleonard - 6/9/08, 9:13 pm |
| Way too many. I think my total is 8. I would be happy with four. |
| topeka - 6/9/08, 9:16 pm |
| i own one pair of sneakers that need to be replaced. and a pair of sporty girl shoes that i never
wear. also, my roommmates and i interchange pairs of flipflops so i don't own them but i wear them
if nobody else is. also one pair of doc marten boots i haven't used for a year. so that is 3 pairs i actually own. |
| Herold - 6/9/08, 9:17 pm |

| rachel - 6/9/08, 9:25 pm |
| I own less shoes than every other girl in my program, haha. |
| topeka - 6/9/08, 9:26 pm |
| more than me tho!! shoes.. bah. i guess i just hate wearing them so i don't care much about them. |
| rachel - 6/9/08, 9:27 pm |
| I like wearing them! My feet hurt so bad if I wear shitty shoes so I try and find really comfortable ones. |

| kayla - 6/9/08, 9:30 pm |
| i have a laundry basket full. i dont wear most of them, as they are all impractical and ridiculous looking. also, i own water shoes. |
| Herold - 6/9/08, 9:30 pm |
| My shoes make me realize I have a lot of hobbies Hiking Biking Sking XC Sking Converse (more than one pair actually) Running shoes Bike shoes Ice skates sandals Slippers Dress shoes black Dress shoes Brown Shoes from a halloween costume Kayaking shoes fencing I should have gone to Rushmore |

| silentbamboo is the shoe king |
| kayla - 6/9/08, 9:31 pm |
| i mean, i DO wear most of them. it is just that they aren't all worn very often. |
| kayla - 6/9/08, 9:32 pm |
| oh, and most are all beat up and full of holes from having them for YEARS since ive been a size 3 1/2 since like 8th grade. |
| topeka - 6/9/08, 9:32 pm |
| kayla that's how you take care of shoes!! wear them as little as possible and hope your feet don't grow in the mean time! |
| brokenfuses - 6/9/08, 9:34 pm |
| Oh shit I have dress shoes and slippers (that I never wear) too! Seven pairs for me, now. |
| kayla - 6/9/08, 9:35 pm |
| well then i am doing something right! i keep shoes forever. it is very hard to get me to throw a pair out and my feet never grow. my parents loved it because they only had to buy me one new pair of hockey skates the whole 14 years i played. (my first goalie skates were handmedowns from un: tuck). |
| topeka - 6/9/08, 9:36 pm |
| attn: kayla re: that dress u liked of mine. i'm wearing it. with no shoes! |
| kayla - 6/9/08, 9:41 pm |

| silentbamboo - 6/9/08, 9:43 pm |

| clichéguevara - 6/9/08, 11:41 pm |
| my only pair of shoes are those oversized sneaker slippers that i bought at the hampshire mall for $10. They are red. |
| Jeshua - 6/10/08, 12:29 am |
| I have 107 pair altogether... To be fair, I have worked for Puma for the last four years, and have 71 pair from there, only 40 of which I have paid anything for, and none of those cost more than $40 with my discount. But, regardless of that, no straight male should own that man shoes, regardless of employment, and it embarrasses me to admit to my collection... |
| Jeshua - 6/10/08, 12:32 am |
| *that many shoes, it seems like Colt 45 is counteracting my 2 time county spelling bee champ status :-( |
| barker - 6/10/08, 2:10 am |

| nellie! - 6/10/08, 5:00 am |

| do you ever have nightmares where they get mixed up and you decide that you'll just flip a coin and give in to the 50% chance that the rest of your life is a lie and then wake up saying to yourself, "why didn't i consider that i could wind up with a sockless left shoe and a socked right?" so you have to immediately get out of bed and write "socks" on the inside of the sock pair (it could sweat off in the other pair)? |
| bonnie - 6/10/08, 5:08 am |

| neopolitan - 6/10/08, 5:11 am |

| christopherlame - 6/10/08, 5:13 am |
| i would have that nightmare. i woke up in the middle of the night last night and couldn't fall back asleep because i was sure somehow my cats had switched bodies and were trapped in each other, that's kind of the same thing |
| luba - 6/10/08, 5:14 am |
| Baby let's get dressed up I got two pairs of shoes Darling you look so beautiful when your hair's all hung in jewels and sometimes I find it really hard to choose between a pair of black and a pair of brown shoes |
| ManxomeFoe - 6/10/08, 5:23 am |
| Oh god I'm scared to count. I think it's 19? |

| djd - 6/10/08, 5:36 am |
| I'm counting 22, but there must be yet more pairs I keep around and never wear. To avoid looking
like Imelda Marcos, I have not only grouped the shoes by function but included the year I bought
them. - Converse (2005, desperately need replacing) - Robotdog or whatever that brand is slip-on Keds-like sneakers (07) - sparkly black pointy flats (07) - flat brown ballet flats (07) - black loafers (99, hate them, should ditch) - fancy slingback heels (sometime in the 90s) - fancy '40s-ish heels (03?) - tall black boots with heels (06, never wear) - THE BOOTS (07) - old black boots (97/98, re-heeled 10 times, seriously beat up) - platform espadrilles (07) - flat black sandals (01?, wearing today) - wedge black sandals (00?) - wedge brown sandals (early 00s) - flat brown sandals (02) - flat dance shoes (01) - character shoes (94 or 95) - hiking boots (02) - Tevas (01) - running shoes (04) - slippers (knitted 06, full of holes, should toss) - Birks (02?) Basically I keep shoes forever. |

| I must have at least 80 pairs or something ridiculous like that. I gave up on counting at 50. For the record, I didn't spend more than like, $3 on most of my shoes. |
| Edzuky - 6/10/08, 7:15 am |
| meaghan, those boots you own should count as two pairs. |
| Edzuky - 6/10/08, 7:16 am |
| also, people that own more than 5 pairs are fucking crazy. |
| bonnie - 6/10/08, 8:06 am |

| peterparker - 6/10/08, 1:21 pm |
| also, i only wear one sneaker now, as I have a cast on my right foot. I don't wear my white chucks, because they're relatively new. I don't want to get this sucker off, and have a brown shoe that was once white on the left, and a white one on the right. ill look like punky brewster, only male and shaped like a question mark. |

| Edzuky - 06/10/08 at 11:16 am also, people that own more than 5 pairs are fucking crazy. Um, no, a pair of running/sports shoes, a pair of boots, and a few pairs for work is pretty minimal, actually. |
