    How many shoes

    How many pairs of shoes do forumites have in use at any one time?

    My missus reckons I'm the Imelda Marcos of the running world:

    I currently have 5 pairs of fell shoes, 4 pairs of road shoes and a very battered pair of trail shoes.

    Is this the norm or am I obsessed?

    2 pairs of fell shoes, 3 pairs of trail shoes and a battered pair of Walshes that i just can't bring myself to throw away, first pair i bought
    Was looking at shoes the other week at Ilkley Moor and my 5 year old daughter said "Daddy, don't you dare buy anymore shoes"

    Would have more if I could afford it.

    So far got one pair of trail shoes which I use on the road as well. Done hundreds of miles in 'em (long overdue a new pair). Also got a pair of Running Bear fell shoes.

    That's it.

    Damn!... I knew I had a problem!

    However if you fancy building up your collection southernsoftie, I could let you have a pair of inov8 mudrocs at a very reasonable price.
