I used to be a bigger shoe fan than I am now.  I used to go to Salvation Army or Goodwill and find some shoe that fit good enough, and would wear that for a while then find something new.  I never really got into the ‘expensive’ shoe thing though, simply because I could never justify it.  Although I did have a sweet pair of Nike 180 Pumps when I was in eighth grade.

Now that I’m older my shoe interest has dropped drastically.  With my frequent visits to airports I have resorted to things that don’t tie.  Black Vans,  and Flip Flops, and of course, the old standby, the Converse Chuck’s.  Pretty simple but they get the job done.

All together I think I have six pairs of shoes.  All for a certain purpose.  My Chuck’s for daily use, flip flops for summer, trashed Vans for yard work, black boot things for dressing up, my non-space athletic shoe and Uggs.  Yeah, I have Uggs.  Call me Brittney Spears or whatever, but they are crazy comfortable and amazing winter shoes.

Not bad huh?  I mean sure it’s more than some people and I know there are people in the world with no shoes and all that.  And I completely agree with anyone in the comments that says that we should give shoes to people that need them.  But here’s what I want to know.  And I want you to be honest.  How may pairs of shoes do you own?  Total.  Not something like, “Well, I don’t really wear those except for once a year, so they don’t count” type of thing.  I want a total.  And I know there’s some readers on here with some collections.  Especially you worship leaders. (Kidding.  Don’t freak out).

So let’s hear it.  How many (total) pairs of shoes do you have right now.

Ready?  Go.
