Why in the world would anybody need more than 3 pairs of shoes?

[shawshank62]

What I don't get is why in the world anybody needs more than 3 pairs of shoes (winter footwear excepted in these parts).

well, i have:

casual dress shoe
sneakers
hiking boots
sandals (but i dont think they count)


so why would you need more than 3?

I have far to many pairs of shoes, of the top of my head including...

running shoes.
airwalks for general loafing.
work shoes.
suit shoes for smart stuff like weddings.
smart casual shoes.
cycling shoes with spd cleats.
rock climbing boots - comfy for all day trips.
rock climbing boots - bouldering boot for much pain.
hiking boots.
hiking trainers.
sandals.

and probably much more

Didn't know Eddy was so active

Making me feel REAL lazy now

I don't have a lot

1. Winter boots (not really boots, more like thick hiking boots)
2. General use shoes for everyday walking etc.
3. Casual dress shoes
4. Formal dress shoes
5. Sandals

Could probably use some brown casual dress, but not a big fan of brown... so I'll hold off on those

I would never have guessed you rode. Mountain or road?

I've got
running shoes
quite a few pairs of works shoes
a pair of wingtips for weddings and interviews
some others to kick around in
also have some clogs and some sandals (or did have, can't seem to find them right now).
Also have some hiking shoes
And big-arsed Doc Martins for when it's nasty out.

1. Everyday shoes
2. Running shoes
3. Old man type Rockports
4. Dance shoes
5. Baseball cleats
6. Basketball high tops
7. Bowling shoes
8. Flip flops

A bit more than 3.

I have trouble finding size 15's, so I normally hop at the opportunity to get some shoes in the stores.

[Scott Tiger]

15 !!!!!

Dude, I'm lucky if I can fill a 9!

If there's a bright side to that at least I get my work shoes cheap. The stores always have those types of shoes left - I guess 7th graders don't wear Rockports to school.

I was orginally into road riding, largely due to necessity as I lived miles away from most of my mates and didn't have a car. However my Ribble hasn't come off the wall in some years.

Then I went to uni and got lazy. Spent most of my time messing around with bmx and downhill mountain biking, very badly.

At the moment I ride my mountain bike quite a bit as I live on the edge of a large national park with lots of cool tracks. Just got my forks fixed up so I am planning to get in atleast one or two more rides before the next 6 months of rain

Oh and I thought of two more pairs...

Football boots (soccer for you crazy Americans).
Astroturf shoes.

haha, where did you dig that quote up from

[osprey4]

I wish I only needed 3, then I'd be wearing sneakers to work. Alas, I work in a "business appropriate" environment where dress shoes are de rigueur.

I actually think it's TomTerrific's quote for Knot's thread about showering and Women being weird. (all in all it's a pretty safe thread, just don't read any of MD1032's posts on the subject )

Eddy - You'll have post some pic's of the Park you live next to. Sounds like it would make an interesting pic.
