Swimmers (not sure what they’re really called; sort of booties I wear at the beach, makes it easier to walk around when there are a lot of shells and things. The beach we go to is off the beaten path and not really groomed or cleaned up, so there’s a lot of jetsam about)
Snow boots

My downfall is Zappos.com, I love that site. I actually got my husband to buy some new shoes after looking at Zappos.
Try 6pm.com, it’s where the Zappos shoes go to die. The sizing selection can be iffy sometimes, but it’s worth looking. They have everything from el-cheapo brands to shoes that started out at $450+.
I have about 40-ish pairs, if I had to guess. Some are quite cheap, some were expensive (for me $200 is expensive, and I have few pairs that where that much).
I like shoes, I have very regular sized feet so it’s easy to find pairs that look good without going nuts - very unlike shopping for clothes.

I know I’m forgetting some, I’ll just round up to 50. I really like shopping, and I get rid of stuff constantly. No wonder I can rarely afford vacations!
6 pairs of dress shoes (4 black, 2 brown) for court
4 pairs of sneakers for home and weekends
2 pairs of fuzzy-lined slippers for cold winter days at home; one in good shape, one old ‘n’ ratty but kept as backup
1 pair of boots for hiking, woodswalks, yardwork, etc.
1 dilapidated pair of rubber mocs I really ought to throw away
1 pair of El Cheapo sandals
1 pair of swimshoes for rocky/slippery areas
1 pair of Blucher moccasins for Cub Scout meetings and whenever
My wife and three sons all have Crocs. I have none. Thus shall it remain.

3 pairs of leather loafers
1 green dress shoes (to match my green dress dress)
2 black dress shoes
1 winter boots with fleece lining

One pair actual down slippers with sole, otherwise down booties, sox, etc.
So, 28 pairs plus any I forgot. A friend just commented about her friend who also has a “show problem” was befuddled by my having a shoe obsession with *comfortable *shoes.
