I have how many pairs of shoes?!?!

The problem with shoes is that while a single pair would work for just about everything, they wouldn't work well.

For example: hiking boots. I could buy a pair of WW2 Impressions Jump Boots and use those as hikers, but they wouldn't work nearly as well as a pair of Asolo Trinity which would be lighter, offer more support, be waterproof longer, etc.

And that kinda goes for most other shoes as well.

I'm sure I've got a large amount of shoes, but its a number that fluctuates, as I tend to stock up when American-made New Balances go on sale.

My problem is jackets. I'm afraid to even count how many I have.

I have almost 30 pairs of shoes, excluding athletic shoes. I may have issues, but I always have the right pair of shoes.

Toe shoes? Or toe shoes? One of those would kill me, the other would just kill my feet. I'm too fat for either.

You can imagine me in either.

Doc Marten boots for every day wear. Doc Marten oxfords for most other occasions. Chuck Taylors and Vans oxfords when it is warmer out and you gotta always have at least one pair of nice wingtips.

It's having the right tool for the job, absolutely.

I think I have 11, but all serve different purposes.

4 boots: hiking, steel toed work, steel toed mucks (for brewing), motorcycle Sneakers. Nice casual.
Dress shoes.
Racing shoes (flame retardant)
Rock climbing shoes.
3 pairs dance shoed: latin, sneakers, blue suede Oxfords
