How many pairs of shoes can you have before your man card is revoked?

[40Hands]

I have 2 pairs of dress shoes, one regular hike/sneaker that I wear to work, one pair of Keen water shoes, and one old pair of sneakers

I have 6 pairs

1 pair of dress (will get another pair after the new year...just can't justify another $125+ for good dress shoes right now)
2 pairs of casual (I love my Sketchers)
1 pair of sneakers (gym shoes)
1 pair of boots
1 pair of flops

1 pairs of tennis/running shoes ( +1 which is more than 8 years old and falling apart, but I wear them anyways because I like them ) <my new pair is falling apart too because I use to exercise a lot>

2 pairs of work dress shoes <black and brown> ( + 1 old pair I don't wear anymore <I need to donate it> )

2 pairs of basketball shoes ( +1 pair which I have had since early college and is torn up as well, but I will wear them for outdoor ball )

1 pair of leather sandals ( which I wear quite a bit outside of work )

**EDIT**
Oops, I forgot 1 pair of Cycling shoes, but I don't think that really counts, do you?

I mean I only wear them to use the cleat system on my bike. I don't use them otherwise. But I guess I could say the same about bball shoes.

2 pairs of work shoes (comfortable)
2 pair of running sneakers
1 pair of basketball sneakers
1 pair of golf sneakers (shox)
2 pair of sandals
6 pair of cowboy boots (dress, different types of leather)
1 pair of work boots (ropers)

i think having diversity is the best thing, you could just have one pair of dress/work shoes and one pair of sneakers, and one pair of sandals, but that just makes your shoes look ugly and have to replace them more often because of wear/tear. heck even my work shoes i have to replace every 6 months just because those are the one's i use the most. i am tough on my shoes, thus having a high diversity so they don't deteriorate so fast.

You can have 1 pair of dress shoes and 1 pair of tennis shoes. You may also have 1 extra pair of shoes if you only use them for running or athletic stuff.

You may have several pairs of sandals depending on your situation. For example, a college freshman needs shower sandals, which should be separate from a nice pair of tivas.

You are probably still in college.
Once you are working, dress/work shoes are normal to have 2 (black and brown)

I say you lose your man card only when you go shoe shopping just to shoe shop. <shudder>
You should only buy shoes if you will actually use them and if you need them if you are a guy.

Let me think about this, I have 2 pairs of dress/work shoes, a pair of Vans, boots, yard work shoes, flip floops, and "date" shoes. So 7 pairs. Now that I think about it, I'm such a metro. Time to throw out some shoes.

You must have 1 casual pair, one dress pair, and one work pair (boots).
