Shoes

[Desert Lily]

How many pairs of sandals do you own? What variety? What qualities does a sandal have to have to make it into your wardrobe?

I try to have the following variety:

1 pair casual black,

1 pair black that can be a little dressier

1 pair brown very casual

1 pair brown semi-casual

1 or 2 trendy-color, casual pairs

And 3+ pairs of fashion (floral, patterned) sneakers for summer.

This year, I had a difficult time finding any sandals on QVC to refresh my sandal mix. Comfort is my #1 priority followed by style and quality. I like a flat or low heel under 2". I don't want a high wedge, no matter how high the platform at the front is, and I don't want a 3-4" block heel. I'm on my feet a lot at work and when I'm running errands. I only wear a heel above 2" if there is a special occasion.

I own 4 1/2 pairs of sandals.

2 pairs are my running around town and/or relaxing at my community.

Color:  White & navy blue

Brand:  No names from Payless

Leather w/rubber soles.

Age:  15+ yrs

2 pairs are my "good" sandals for places I go to other than what I previously mentioned above.

Color:  Black/white & Tan

Brand:  Ryka

Rubber soles (sneaker like)

My "dressy" sandals are my open toe mules which I wear to fancy gatherings ie: weddings, showers, etc.

1/2 cause they are more shoe like (slip on no straps) than a sandal.

Color:  Multi w/gold trim

Brand:  Perignon

2 inch cork heel, wooden sole

Age:  20+ years.

Too many to count.  All flats, no thongs, many Alegria but a bunch of others too.  I probably have 8-10 in various shades of turquoise plus just about every other color.

I' too embarrassed to even count them. I have a sandal problem, I just love them and tend to buy a pair that I like in several colors. I donated a bunch in early spring, but I still have way too many.

Do Birkenstocks count? If they do, then I would say more than I would ever need!

Too many to count.....mainly Munro American.

I just counted: 17 pairs of Birkenstock/Birki's sandals. A few years ago, I bought most of them from 6PM dot com for around $50/pair. I have 2 pairs black patent leather, 1 pair grey patent leather, suede, smooth leather, flowery. All colors!!! Love my sandals.

About 30 or more Summer is my favorite and love wearing sandals.

I wasn't sure how many, so I did a quick count....27.  Most all of them are Hotter's, style Candice.  I have every color they have made in the last 7 years.

I still have my first pair, which were beige when I bought them but are now olive green.  When they have begun to look shabby I repaint them with leather shoe paint to a color I don't have.  This spring I made a pair of yellow and a pair of red.  Once painted, they look brand new again!

I just ordered my first pair of Sketchers sandals in a flowered fabric.  I wonder if they will ace out my Hotter's?!

Not sure how many.  Definitely have two dressy pairs.  I like a wedge heel.  Several casual pairs.
