Really? My DH has about twice as many as me (like two pairs per sport he does). I have 8 pairs of shoes/boots (the most recent one was a gift).

Wow. OK. I just have one pair of each type (except specially designed Chucks) and I replace as needed. I have more footwear now than I've ever had in my life, though, LOL!

I think DH has boots, black leather and brown leather for work/church/formal, running shoes/cross trainers x2, cheap basketball shoes, expensive (limited edition Air Jordan) basketball shoes, indoor soccer x2 shoes, outdoor soccer shoes x2...there must be more b/c I just got him 15-pair door hanger and they didn't all fit. Between sports shoes and basketball shorts we could clothe a small army! I can't complain though because I have several 5-drawer units full of dog training gear.

Keen or Merrell, have both, love them especially the waterproof...

Look on Sierra Trading Post also for great sales...I've gotten one pair through them.

I have addida's Kanadia trail shoes for the warmer temps. They grip nice for training, going on 3 yrs old now. I'll probably replace them in the spring, but they are still in good shape!

They have a couple different styles - I got the Venice because they have the most open area, to keep my feet cool. I have gone out numerous times on 3/4/5 mile hikes in them, and they don't rub anywhere and the soles are nice and springy. If they get dirty I toss them in the washing machine.

The Whisper is a little narrower, (and less expensive I think, too) although they are all adjustable:



There's the Newport:



It looks like they've added a few other styles too. They come in tons of different colors.

for the summer light weight and gore-tex lined.

I like the first one better, I think. Do the toes really look like they're coming up like that? It might drive me mad. On my feet, I'd look like a clown.

I wear these for the winter. It's lined with sheep fur, so very warm. Vibram sole.

For running and better weather, I wear my Aesics Gel runners.
