Are including flip flops, boots and trainers?

[jno]

where's the zero option? I'm at the opposite end of the scale from CD and it's really unfair that she can say G and I can't say anything.

[cazzz1975]

blimey 5-8?? I clicked the 2-4 I only have utility shoes

[LoftyLottie]

I ticked 12-20 which is true (including boots) but I only wear about 3/4 pairs on a regular basis, and I tend to hang on to shoes that I will never wear again.

[jno]

I had a big clearout of all my apparel lat year, Lottie. Mass shooicide.

[rowanwitch]

I,m 40+ including all kinds of footwear, tend to have shoes that match specific outfits, they have accumulated over many years and I should get rid of some.... but then what do I do with the matching handbags

[wooliej]

Just over 20 including boots and sandals (opposite ends of the weather spectrum). Him indoors has 4. Smart black for work; pair of trainers; walking boots and old pair of trainers for gardening/decorating etc. Oh and I bought him some slippers when he was 40. But he refuses to wear them as he doesnt want to be thought of as old !!

[rowanwitch]

like it jno... so if you sorted out your demin trousers would it be jeanicide

[rowanwitch]

Sorry denim

[China Doll]

I've only gone on the shoes I have where I live currently and included everything and I'm in 12-20 range which I think is perfectly reasonable... although I'm watching a few pairs on ebay which end on Sunday :c)

[Ankou]

i'm in the 9-12 bracket, on the basis that the size 10 stilletoes and thigh high boots i have can got on to mrs kou's quota.

nd yes, they all have a reason

[NoMercy]

"How many pairs of shoes do you have?"

Not enough !

[daftgrandad]

I,ve included slippers,boots,wellies and trainers.
Is this permissible ?

[AB Editor]

Yes. Include all foot-based-coverings-with-a-sole I think!

CD is cheating: "I've only gone on the shoes I have where I live currently " - I assume you moved out of your previous residence due to shoe saturation?

Spare Ed

[Greedyfly]

I only have between 5-8 and the only reason for that is I broke my ankle badly last year and since then the swelling still hasnt gone down so I had to buy different shoes in different sizes lol

[craft1948]

I threw some out last year so I'm sure I'm down to 20-40.....

[bibblebub]

Hurray, I picked a number in the winning group and I'm never usually win anything. What's the prize?

[LoftyLottie]

Hi Daft Grandad. I have just gone and counted everything I have in the way of footwear (except socks) and I am in the 40+ bracket now. I didn't count my various pairs of Birkenstock Sandals, crocks, wellies, walking boots or tatty old things I slop around in in the garden.

Presentable shoes can be counted on one hand. Presentable boots on the other!!

[Stephen_G]

I think I'm in the 12-20 category, ed. I can't be definite though. I have shoes under the bed that I no longer wear.

I have also included two pairs of Golf Shoes and a pair of Reebok sandals.
