That's about where I am, maybe 30-35 or so.
4-5 x sneakers [3xNike360, 2xAdidas ]
5-7 x casual [sperrys, slide on loafers, etc]
5-7 x boots [work, dress, hiking, winter, shitkicker]
10-12 x dress/dress casual [wing-tips, oxfords, brogues, etc.]
1-2 x roustabout sneakers [mowing/gardening/walk to convenience store]
A lot of it comes from me holding out for a good deal on quality shoes. Because first, good deals come up surprisingly regular if you know where to look, and second if you hold out for quality, shit doesn't wear out.
All in all, I probably paid for my 30-35 pairs what others would have paid for 6-8 out of my collection at MSRP. [Reply]
