How many do you have?

I dont know how many I have. Including boots and sandals I probably have around 50 pairs.

I take 2 pairs max when I travel. I dont find it difficult to say goodbye to the others. I know they will be waiting for me when I get home. Reply to this

Hahaha it is sad but true, as a runner, I own many pairs of shoes (mostly running shoes) that I find hard to depart with. It starts to become a nuisance for me to keep them all, but unfortunately every pair of them has a nice memory with it (i.e. which marathons, races etc).

So yeah - traveling-wise, I find it a little difficult to leave them behind, as I am accustom to be able to choose which ones to wear.
But ideally, I will pack three pairs: a pair for running (usually a little flashy but comfortable - not recommended to wear around in a developing country to avoid being robbed, but a must for running purpose), a pair for casual/walking around town (a more toned down color, consist of one or two neutral colors), and a pair of flip-flops (a must to wear around for a while and/or to take shower). If it permits, then I will carry a fourth pair of dress shoes to go out.

This might be the feminime side of me - the attachment to shoes :o)

I have around twenty pair I would guess. I have sneakers for running, boots for working on the boat, clogs for when I'm feeling hippy-ish, several pairs of heels for church and dress-up, some flip-flops, and slippers for cold floors in the winter.

When I travel, I take two pair: running shoes and Chacos. The Chacos are a bit beefy, but man are they amazing for hiking/walking around. The straps are adjustable, but I've worn them through so much mud that the straps are jammed in their holes and no longer move. Reply to this

I was not expecting any guys to post on this thread. :D

Muhahaha you'll be surprised to find out that there are many guys who love their shoes and sneakers 😊 Reply to this

Three pairs of stilettos? You must wear big shoes! Reply to this

Gotta agree with Halef on this one. While I only own about 25 pairs of shoes, they are one of the things I miss while on the road. I travel with hiking shoes, a pair of Chuck Taylors cause they fold up to nothing, and my Chaco sandals. While the Chuck Taylors aren´t needed, they help save me from missing my sneakers at home at least a little. Reply to this

I own around 20 pairs of shoes.

I typically bring three pairs on vacation. A pair for outfits that match black, a pair for outfits that match brown (so our neutrals are covered!), and a nice flashy pair if the occasion calls for something a little nicer...

Four pairs if I'm going somewhere like the beach, then that requires flip flops too 😊 Reply to this

Shoes are my enemy. I have very strange feet. They hurt within 10 mins of walking no matter what shoes I am wearing. I can never wear heels. I recently went to Florida and my day at Disneyland was ruined within 30 mins because I wore the wrong shoes. I was in agony, so much so that I bought a brand new pair of Crocs with Mickey mouse shaped 'holes' in them at $37. Within 5 mins they had ripped the skin off between my toes at the thong part. This is my big worry about doing my RTW. What shoes to wear???? Reply to this

I have countless shoes (getting on for 100 pairs mostly sky high heels!).. I am a self confessed shoaholic so going away it was a long hard decision on what to take... here's what I ended up with
Havianas (which I brought in Brazil) were a must
Trekking sandals - then never wore them so sent them home quick smart
Walking boots which I used loads in the colder countries and for trekking only in the warmer ones
A fancy pair of flip flops for the evening

That was all well and good and plenty of shoes to be going on with but what I didn't consider was what to wear if we went out in the evenings in the cold countries! I ended up wearing my trekking boots to a super posh restaurant we went to in Buenos Aires.. it was very funny, we both looked like trekkers who'd taken a wrong turn as the waistcoated waiter put napkins on our laps and all sorts!

3 pairs of shoes is the max you'll ever need.. if you aren't into trekking then just one pair of flip flops will probably see you through most occasions! Being a bit of a shoe nut I did pick up pairs and discard others on the way to feed my habit though!

Having spent our last year in SE Asia and wearing my much loved Havs for most of it I am now struggling to get used to wearing shoes, especially heels again! It's cold here in the UK so the best thing I have found are Uggs which don't look the most attractive but are the nearest thing I can get to that no shoe feeling.. I even wear them without socks so I don't feel to hemmed in! Reply to this
