    I have one set of smart shoes, complete with steel toe caps as I wear them to the pub etc.
    2 sets of trainers (one set is dying so I bought a replacement pair ready).
    A set of work boots.
    Another smart pair of shoes that a friend gave me which will replace my current smart shoes when they die (also steel toe capped).
    Slippers

    Mrs MUN bought me 2 more pairs of slippers and two more sets of shoes - I have no idea when I am supposed to wear them as I have sufficient foot coverage 24/7.

    I have a few pairs of shoes for when I am doing shows etc. but I don't count those.

    I love my old shoes, but its getting so though to replace shoes with similar quality these days. Bally is not as it used to be, for one.

    I remember being in a permie job for 2 years and took home 25 pairs on my last day.
    I think I have accumulated a pair or two but they all have their functions appropriate to use and also the time of year. I tend to wear shoes to death and then if I can replace them with the same kind.

    I expect the Tester family fortune is being heavily depleted on the Via Condotti right now.

    Surely only women can be so devious?
    First we need to know more about Mothertester...........








    Would Mitch?
