How many pair of shoes do you have? Out of those pairs, how many do you wear more than a few times a year?

Including all kinds, from sandals to boots, seventyfour.
eeehhhh, I know.... It's shameful to have so many, and it's even more shameful to know exactly the number without even have to think about it.
Most of them are in the price range $ 5-25, though, and the most expensive of all (around $100, ok, this time I'm ashamed for sure...) is a pair of short flat black boots that are absolutely all purpose. I wore them in the Death Valley and I wore them to go dancing, I can wear them with bare feet, with socks, with stockings and they never hurt my oh-so-Cinderella-sensitive-and-ever-blistering feet... so I think it was a good purchase. And they're also a travel souvenir, as I bought them in a lovely store in Helsinki. (you see them in the pic down there)
There are some of my shoes I seldom wear, but only about 5-6 pairs. Having sensitive feet, I change every day, so every pair "touches the skin" in a different place, if I wear the same pair for 3-4 days it'll end up in blisters, sure as hell.
The least worn (but most treasured hehehehehe) are the neon pink platform & 15 centimeters-stiletto-heeled sandals I bought on Sunset Boulevard LA. That shop was something unbelievable. I loved EVERY SINGLE SHOE THERE, I was plastered to the shop window like a band-aid... then my understanding and loving partner took me in the shop for a small gift. After all, I'm from Italy, how many times will I have the occasion to buy shoes on Sunset Boulevard???
I'm sure you ladies out there understand me perfectly!! :)))
