How many pairs of foot ware do you have, take a guess.

I really haven’t counted them, but I did take 9 pair to the clothing store that allows homes to pick out apparel better than what they are wearing. I forget the name of the place, but there is some pretty nice things in there.
 
I don't have to guess. I just cleaned out my closet about a week ago. I know exactly what I have.

2 pairs of dress shoes (brown and black)
2 pairs of work boots (one being using, the other brand new in the box)
2 pairs of slip on skechers (brown and black)
1 pair of slippers
1 pair of sneakers
1 pair of swimming shoes
 
Running shoes, boat shoes, dress loafers, dress lace-up shoes, Keene sandals, LL Bean boots, more boat shoes, slippers, reef shoes, two pairs of Sperry sneakers, golf shoes, hiking shoes, fancy loafers with a buckle (which I never wear), big clunky Merrill shoes for wet weather. More than I thought.

That was an interesting exercise. Went into a box of old sporting goods and another box and found 8 old pairs of footwear now in the trash bin. So the official number is 14 pairs. I wear a regular width EU size 42, that is US women's size 9.5, and US men's size 8. Have worn the bolded pairs within the last year.

#1 are a pair of swim fins I wore long ago for body surfing. Rarely used for decades.
#2 flip flops I wear to venture outside briefly or as camp shoes I keep near my front door at frame top.
#3 a pair of business casual shoes I haven't worm since retiring.
#4 is a worn back-up for #5.
#5 are my cheap street shoes I wear most and wear out soles quickly due to street dancing.

#6 are neoprene surfing boots I sometimes bring backpacking to ford icy cold streams
#7 are down booties I often wear during winter.
#8 old but still clean tennis shoes I used to wear playing table tennis.
#9 is an old set of cheap hiking boots that still have decent soles.

#10 are water wading boots for wading into ocean surf while fishing.
#11 are modern cold weather rubber felt insert winter boots.
#12 my old Kaufman, Sorel Caribou felt insert winter boots that still have excellent soles.
#13 my recently received Zamberlan $380 list hiking boots. Actually, a women's model (functionally unisex) I bought on sale for $281.
#14 my very worn sole and beat up but still usable older Zamberlan hiking boots.
