I have 17 pairs. That sounds like a lot but I could go for a couple more pairs if I'm being honest. Like a third of them are Converse, too; I can't help myself.

Too many to count, perhaps similar to OP. However they are all from before pandemic and I’ve mostly worked from home since. I’ve also gotten divorced so no longer have my ex encouraging me to have presentable shoes, and they’re all getting old and brittle even if they still look nice.

I just threw out a nice looking pair of boots because the sole cracked from age and let water in. That’s my plan for the year - wear everything one last time and see how many of them need to be thrown out

I can no longer go back to the simple life and do sometimes have to go into work but want to get it down to

  • boots
  • crocs
  • sneakers
  • dress shoes
  • casual shoe/boots

The boots were water proof and good for winter but I want to start hiking again and they’re not in good enough shape for hiking boots so I probably need to replace those
