THIS is why you shouldn't be single.  You know the way to a woman's heart.

        Forgot to include 2 pairs of Astros turf trainers and about 10 pairs of football boots. (I'm a sucker for new footy boots)

To answer the OAP I believe in the principle of having a minimum number of very expensive pairs of footwear. All you need is boots, sandals, and a pair of bespoke shoes. Hopefully the latter will see one out.
Part of me doesn't understand why women need so many shoes, white tops, jeggings, and coats. But there again m 'dear wife whose name escapes me etc doesn't understand why I have so much music. She thinks I have loads. However I suspect that she would show more surprise at the size of MikeOxlong's vast canon.
:snigger:

Throw the sandals away, GJ..    'orrible things!

 

 

 

My two faves - latter in black.

And ink blue Adidas Gazelles.

I forgot my vibrans, always guaranteed to freak people out when I wear them..

I had to google them.

 

Freak.   

 

they give me the heebie jeebies

 

Like Yogi said, he probably thinks he's really clever but what he doesn't realise is you're going to start with all the ones you don't like anyway and replace them with expensive ones Wait til he sees the price of boots

 

B has implemented a rule for me, with clothes as well as shoes - if I buy something new I have to get rid of something. So a pair of my ankle boots have fallen to bits so I can now get new ones to replace them I did manage to sneak in a parka on the basis of needing a proper warm winter coat with a hood

My daughter has about 30 pairs of vans and converse 

 

I like boots, I think I had 45 pairs the last time I counted 

OMG... where do you KEEP them all?

What's wrong with sandals but? That's all I wear from may to September. The sock drawer doesn't come into play while back end.

Men's feet are  sorry GJ.

 

I am a big fan of sandals/flip flops myself and like you I wear them for as much of the year as possible.  I wore canvas shoes with no socks to the doctors the other day and she commented on it   I was only going from the car to the surgery and back.

1 black boots

1 brown boots

1 converse - black

1 converse - Blondie

1 vans

2 high tops

3 trainers

and a very nice pair of slippers thank you very much

 

and step-sons feet are growing an inch a day-his footwear lasts about a month before he has to get a new pair of trainers/high tops etc...

so i occasionally get a pair of his

if i can get in before he sells them to his mates

I have spent all day today doing a clear out.  2 binbags of clothes (not started on cardis and coats yet) and 9 pairs of shoes dumped and 6 pairs of shoes selling on ebay.  So that's 5 new pairs of shoes I'm getting

We've got a separate wardrobe for shoes  I think I've got every sort of boot going, I got 4 pairs for Christmas  daughter also has about 10 pairs of football boots then there's astro turf boots, basketball boots, I get fed up of her shoes cause I'm always tripping over them 

Just arrived today from America.

I have a red baseball jacket with black sleeves which will be perfect.

 

 

American trainers are naff.

 

The good old terrace favourite...

 

I like both of those

 

I wanted HI-tops last summer but I felt a bit too old to be wearing them.  

I've tried flat trainers in the past - but as I have size 12 feet I end up looking like a golf club side on!

Boots tend to blend in a bit better and don't make it so obvious.

And I just like the style of AF1's.
