i feel almost bad getting any more pairs but there are so many that i want (lol). how many pairs do you guys own? i recently read on this forum about the six or so pairs that every guy needs (i believe it was originally posted on putthison)

I don't know if I've ever counted.


I'd say 30-40. A good deal are Vans Authentics or Era. The rest are various casual and dress shoes/boots.

I believe I have 16 or so. Won't need anymore for a long time. Although I am still interested in getting a pair of penny loafers, suede balamorals and boots in the far future.

-Aldo sneakers in brown suede, kinda similar to Chuck Taylor's. My go-to shoe.

-Aldo chunky wingtip boot in black.

-Black blucher dress shoes. They are too small, I don't really wear them.

-Tan boat shoes. I would love to wear them more often, but my heel slips in them.

-Brown suede chukkas.


Total count : 13.


Stil looking for : tan boots, black dress boots, brown cap toe dress shoe, navy suede/canvas oxford/wingtip, penny loafers.

Jessy what size shoe are you?

[jessy_diamond Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close jessy_diamond]

@Acousticfoodie Officially 6.5D, but most of my shoes are 7.

[Acousticfoodie Varsity Member Find all posts View Profile Close Acousticfoodie]

@Jessy: Ah nevermind. I thought you were a different size and found some nice shoes in your looking for category thrifting.

I hardly have any compared to most here, I'm sure. The last three are for hiking and fieldwork so I rarely wear them out and about.


old, ratty navy Puma Classic Suede sneakers(soon to be retired since I just bought..)

navy PF Flyers Bob Cousy sneakers

green/black/orange Saucony "Jazz" sneakers

Cole Haan "Paul" chukkas (also new, love 'em)

black Kenneth Cole "Reaction" square-toe dress shoes (yikes! need to be replaced with Allen Edmonds Park Avenues or similar oxfords)

brown Kenneth Cole dress shoes (can't recall model but I hardly wear them)

Asolo TPS 520 full-leather backpacking boots

Vasque Breeze GTX hiking boots

Vasque Blue trail running shoes


Needless to say, I could stand to expand my casual shoe collection (suede bucks, boat shoes, etc.) but for now the chukkas and PF Flyers will be my primary go-to casual shoes in the office. I rarely have to dress up so don't have a need for a lot of dress shoes. That being said, it would be cool to get a pair of sharp brown wingtips (AE Strand or similar) one of these days.

The Good:

Johnston & Murphy black captoe (made in Italy, gift from Dad nearly a decade ago and never wore until now)

Allen Edmonds Park Avenue, burnished brown (Nordstrom sale)

Allen Edmonds Elgin (from the Beren heist)

Thrifted brown wingtips (oddly can't find any name on them but in good shape)

Bostonian tan suede beefroll penny loafers (thrifted)

Bostonian brown split toe bluchers (thrifted)


The Casual:

Sperry Topsiders

LEC brown suede chukkas

Brooks running shoes

Vasque hiking boots


The Ugly:

Johnston & Murphy square toe slip-ons (I think the official name is "J&M F*****g Disgusting Loafers")

Ecco sad old man-ish shoes


I'm still looking for some black brogues. I might be interested in some brown brogue boots, brown suede bluchers, and burgundy longwings at some point in the future. For the moment I'm totally set, though.

@n0rm: o_0 that's a very impressive collection!

[greg_s Super Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close greg_s]

It's getting a bit sad over here as the collection grows considering I have a necessarily casual job:

J&M Brennans in taupe nubuck

Slip on longwings by a now defunct (I think) higher end line by Bed Stu

Oak sreet boot makers blue suede "trail Oxford"

Mercanti Firoentini double monks in walnut

Vintage Florsheim Imperial shell cordovan longwings


A variety of casual shoes such as all stars, onitsuka tigers, chacos and some various activity-specific shoes.

Acoustic, what shoes did you find?

[Acousticfoodie Varsity Member Find all posts View Profile Close Acousticfoodie]

wow lots of us here have more than just the "basics" it seems lol. Perhaps a better question is...how the heck do you all store them!


@nftmlk found a pair of 8D ballys and Redwing boots!
