    Well everyone wears them. Kicks, Sneaks, Limous, Skates, SHOES

    I recently got into paying attention to them. I am notorious for expressing myself with my clothing. I have gone into a Magic The Gathering Tournament in my friends Armani Suit. He wore his other one. We cruised in with sunglasses and didnt say much. As we cruised through rounds we bled confidence. I will wear bright hoodies and "baller caps". 6 Belts and a bomber jacket. But up until recently I never paid attention to my shoes. I have 34 pairs of High Top Converse... but I realized in a weird way they are all the same.

    So I began to shop
    And I began to look.

    Pumas
    Adidas
    Nikes
    Eckos

    All these Fresh Shoes that are out there that I had no idea about.

    It hit me with these. Puma's Japanese Monster Pack.

    I know I am going to be spending more money on my sneaks... I am going to start wearing myself on my shoe. Anyone already do this?
    What are you favorites?

    I have one pair of kicks that work with whatever I'm wearing. They're all-white, and I interchange laces depending on what color I'm wearing.

    They look sort of like that, but the adidas logo is white and the heel is embossed with more logos.

    I can't wear anything nike period. And I can't wear chucks. I have weird feet.

    Of course I wear dress shoes if I dress up. You can't really pull off white shoes with a suit without looking tacky.

    I have ~50 pairs of shoes. I know that that may be a little much, (please let me live in my fantasy world where 50 pairs is only a tad excessive), but they're my thing. I love them all. It's just something that I do.
    I usually wear a size 6, so it's easy to get cheap shoes, because there aren't that many people who have the same size as me who wear the same kind of shoes as I do.
    My top five pair (in no particular order) are:
    - my black 5-inch stilettos with red bottoms
    - my mid-calf, neon yellow Converse (rainbow stripe laces)
    - my leopard print DCs (black laces)
    - my pink snakeskin three-inchers
    - my black and white striped Circas (black laces in one, white in the other, but I'm going to switch to all black)

    I'll edit in pictures when I get home and can take some. I have something to wear for every occasion, (yeah, that includes the sensible ones, they just aren't my favorite).

    50 pair of shoes is not excessive at all. I will soon enough be well over 70. When you piss away money like I do on the luxuries of life its easy. And what ever it takes to look good.

    I so take it both of you are female? What about other male members opinions? Or are all males apathetic about what they wear?

    I used to be a big fan of DVS's I love they are so comfortable. I am currently wearing the black suede pumas with the white puma on the toe. Those are hot. I also have a very expensive pair of fur lined wedge heel boots for the winter that I bought at Victorias secret, and an assortment of strappy summer high heeled shoes. I just love shoes in general, but then, Im a chick ;)

    I know more men with ridiculous amounts of shoes than I do women, haha. It's stereotypical that all women love shoes, but most that I know "get by" with six or seven pair. Sure, there are guys that only have two or even (oh the horror :D) one pair, but there are females with the same. It's like the fact that men love sports and cars - I can spout of more facts on both subjects and express (mildly intelligent, I think) opinions to boot than the grand majority of my male friends. It's all relative, really.

    Victoria's Secret sells boots? I mean, I knew that they had heels and such, but I had no idea that they had boots too. *jealous* ;)

    Yikes!

    I'm a dude.

    I talked about wearing suits. Not like Ellen DeGeneres lesbian suits. Like my boys Hugo Boss or Giorgio Armani.

    There are guys with 200+ pairs of shoes. I'd do that, but I don't really have the time to spend hours shoe shopping.

    Walking down the streets of HK, I can honestly buy a LOT of shoes. I get all my converse there because you can't find their colors anywhere else. They have imports from Japan and everything unlike Canada. I do NOT buy clothes in Canada. Anyways to the point..

    I have 2 pairs of those Adidas, lots of converse, and I bought a pair of Puma shoes recently. Actually it was a gift so I had no choice.

    My favorites are Converse, ALWAYS. They match with everything and I can walk around here knowing no one else has the same pair as me {Okay fine maybe there will be a few people in the City but not EVERYONE has it}

    Holy crap =.=
    Too much shoes for me to comprehend. I went to my friend's house once, and he had like 30 of them... I can't understand how you can have that many shoes...

    Me, I have... three pairs, all black. Dress shoes, Casual, and sandals :eek: Why do you need that many shoes anyways =.=?
