How many boots?

wilma — Mon, 15 Oct 2018 18:04:30 GMT

How many boots do you own? I love boots this time of year! I have 8 pairs. I wear boots instead of sneakers with my jeans this time of year. I add matching tights when I wear them with skirts and dresses.

1. Tall black suede dress boots

2. Black riding boots

3. Brown riding boots

4. Black western inspired ankle boots

5. Brown ankle boots - may get rid of these - rarely worn

6. Dressy black ankle boots with higher stack heel

7. Snow boots

8. Rain boots

I hate to wear boots. They hurt my feet. I'd live in sandals all year long if I could.

I own two pairs of bad weather boots and one pair of beautiful dressy boots that I never have worn. They were expensive and a waste of money.

My feet prefer not to be enclosed all day and almost everything rubs my heels or ankles. I live in clogs and sandals.

I do love the look of boots on other people, but they are not for me.

I never counted how many I have, I have fashion and weather boots. I love boots, if I could I would wear boots in the summer!

That would be a big fat ZERO.

I doubt I could wear them. I could not stand it wrapped around my ankles. LOL!!!

Just like I can't stand to wear necklaces or anything else around my neck.

I basically wear sandals, clogs or sneakers. If I did not get or have plantar fasciitis I would go barefoot for the most part.

DH would be another story. He basically wears boots & has all his life.

I thought I would come back & add I had a broken ankle reason I doubt I could wear them around that ankle. It still hurts in that area if you press on it. This happened in 1978.

@wilma Boot lover here. I don't keep count of my shoes or boots. I can tell you though that I have more than what you've listed.

I love boots! Take a look at Freebirds by Steven, they are so cute.

I have a lot more than 8 pair - maybe close to 30 pair.

I am actually a sandal girl. Boots are kind of claustrophobic to my feet.

I admit to having a crazy large collection of footwear. Boots are among the smallest segment of that collection. I have:

2 pairs of tall boots: one brown leather and one black suede

2 pairs snow boots. I may donate one pair of Clarks as they are stiff and I no longer have to shovel snow- just walk the dog.

1 pair designated for the dog park

casual shoe boots: I am guessing 3-4 pairs

1 or 2 pairs shooties

I have not gone through my boots yet, but the weather has turned cool so I will be doing that by the end of the month.

Oops: forgot- 4 pairs Costco faux Uggs in various colors and heights. Usually get a new pair yearly as they are 100% genuine sheepskin. Warm, comfortable and extremely well priced.

Oh my gosh, we were at a wedding yesterday and daugter #1 and I had this exact conversation. We are both "boot lovers". I tossed out a bunch last winter but I bought two new pairs of boots. I never wore one pair, I ran out of winter...lol I have the following. My daughter has 12 pairs of boots in rotation and she hasn't bought a new pair in 3 years.

Tall black leather

Tall brown leather (bought last winter but never worn)

Maroon leather mid calf

Black leather mid calf

Navy suede Ugg-like

Gray sude Ugg-like

Black suede ankle boots (bought last month)

Taudpe sude ankle boots (bought last month)

One pair tall snow boots - heavy snow

One pair short (mid calf) snow boots - heavy snow

2 pair black shooties

2 pair brown shooties

I think that is it. I'd like a nice pair of grey shooties, but have not found any yet that I like.

Not wearing any boots yet, but probably will break out the shooties this week.

I have 7 pair of boots. They will have to wear out before I buy anymore.

Re: How many boots?

Pook — Mon, 15 Oct 2018 19:37:01 GMT

Wow!! I never counted but I probably have at least 25-30 pairs besides those listed below.

2 high boots

5 over the knee

4 snow/winter boots

The others are varying heights, colors, heel sizes.

I can't resist a good boot since I now can easily find wide widths.

2 pair; black snow boots, and brown boots to wear with jeans. Not a boots fan. Am retired, and do my best to avoid going out in bad weather, so I only wore the brown boots 1x last winter.

Haven't worn them since I quit riding the range 40 years ago. My foot is tall on top (don't know what you call that) and anything but some cowboy boots are really hard to get on and not worth the effort.

Chicagosuburbangirl — Mon, 15 Oct 2018 19:45:25 GMT

8 pair. I'm thinking it's not nearly enough.

I have one pair of snow boots because they are a necessity. Otherwise none as I don't care for boots.

Okay...this post had me actually taking inventory of my boots and I just realized I have over 20 pair of boots. Most are ankle/calf because I have wide calves and taller shaft wide calf boots were different to find. I know that there several brands that now offer wide calf boots. I have several pair of fur lined boots that I love but have scaled back because the weather never gets cold enough to wear them.
