How many pair of shoes do you currently own?

[Sockett&Bones]

274 !!! I have 15 pairs and I think is a lot

Brands: Carmina, CU, J Fitzpatrick, Beckett Simonon, G&G.

- Two pair of oxfords, each in different shade of brown and styles.
- Three pair of boots: Chelsea Black, Chukkas oxblood, dress boots brown.
- Loafers: Penny, tassel, drivers, horsebit, monks all of them in different colors
- Leather minimalist sneakers in black, brown and white.
- Three pair of Running shoes

This is normally the number of shoes I own, except for the running shoes, every time I get a new pair I will donate a pair. One in, one out is my rule.

Russian oligarch by any chance?

Likely not since Berluti is not on the list.

holy moly where do you store them ? I think I have like 20 pairs and recently got rid of a bunch of old tods and sneakers otherwise would be a bit more. I have a mix of tods, JL, loro piana and santoni + some Italian brands I forgot.

I will post photos of my storage places after my Covid home isolation ends around end of next week. Basically a shoe room under the stairs, the stairs, every room with some space for storage. Also in some wardrobe. I mostly put them in boxes.

I’m sure with 274 there are still a few gaps in the rotation.

I’m still waiting for the answer as to where these are kept.

Basically all over the house but most of them on the stairs and shoe room under the stairs of my house. I will post photos end of next week after my Covid home isolation right now I’m not allow outside my room lol as a few family members in the house is Covid free so I have to keep distance from them.

Nope just a normal 31 year old guy who lives in Bangkok Thailand and love collecting shoes. Btw 274 consist of many normal brands sneakers and sandals as well. lol

Are they all moldy, or just some of them?

Definitely 1 right now and maybe a few I haven’t notice lol 😂

Yes no Berluti yet, quite difficult to find in Thailand, nope my size yet and quite expensive too lol

So your shoes are literally just scattered in different spots all around your home?

Yep as the main spots the shoe room and the stairs are full of shoes so the rest are scattered around the house lol. ^_^ Difficult to have enough space unless there was planning before hand to have a very big shoe room that can handle 300 pairs 😂

Wait. Are there people who don’t store their tailoring and shoes like this?

Not counting my athletic shoes and hiking boots, I have 15 pairs. It's a mix of oxfords, bluchers, and loafers. My next purchase will likely be a pair of Chelsea boots. The collection leans on the formal side so I've been balancing it out with some more casual bits.

I'll probably sell at least one pair in the near future to cull the herd a little and make more room for the casual side of things.
