Different types of footwear serve different purposes.  I wouldn't hike cross-country in running shoes, or run in hiking boots.  I have dress shoes that I wear on rare occasions; naturally one pair of black and one pair of brown, somewhere.  I have swim fins, bedroom slippers, etc.  But usually I go barefoot around the house.

I just pared down from almost 50 pairs.

I have that many pairs of hiking boots/shoes. Not including slip-ons, dress shoes, etc.

Work buys me new boots every 9 months.  I can't wear them out fast enough.
Link Posted: 6/20/2024 12:02:21 PM EDT
[#14]
Yes.  Some of them are dedicated like formal wear but still the answer is yes.

I have that many pairs of Converse All-Stars.

Yes, of course.  I presume waders are just specialized footwear? Ice skates?
Link Posted: 6/20/2024 12:04:57 PM EDT
[#17]
Yes, when I find decent footwear in a men's 16W, I just buy them.

I currently have more than that because I'll buy extra shoes, work boots, etc when I find a closeout deal.  But if you have a job where you wear dress shoes, and you're into any sports with specialty footwear (I bowled, played racquet sports, rode bicycles), 7 pairs is a low threshold.  People who live in snowy/rainy regions are gonna cross it easily.

Interesting..

Items 1-5 support your point of manly shoe ownership.
Items 6-10 , with possible exception of #8 seem to refute the point rather convincingly.

I'm conflicted...

Logging boots, hiking boots, work boots, winter snow boots, climbing shoes, motorcycle boots, bicycle shoes, and ski boots... those are just specialty footwear that any active outdoors guy would have...

As for shoes... Like regular going to town shoes?  3 pair dress shoes, 2 pair summer casual, running shoes, court shoes, water shoes... etc.

7 pair would be hard to accomplish

Nothing to be conflicted about. I am manly, therefore anything I do is manly even if that thing is baking delicate desserts or getting a manicure.
