boundy1234 Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Hi everybody, how many pair of high heels do you own? and what height are they? i own a pair of black high heels with 5 1/2 inch and interchangable ankle straps and locks! Love ´em! But i would like to buy more and more! and i will....
Spikeheels Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 So far have managed to get hold of this for the collection 3 pairs of thigh high boots, red, black and white patent with 4 inch heels 3 pairs of stiletoes/pumps all with ankle straps, red, black and white patent with 5 inch heels 1 pair of ankle high lace up boot, red patent with 6 inch heel 1 pair of the "scream" red patent 7 inch metal heel with small ankle strap 1 pair of red patent lace up knee high boot with 6 inch heel and small platform 6 pairs of various clear/glass platform "lap dancer" shoes of various colours and last but not least 4 pairs of the same style heels but where they are completely the same colour and not the clear platform (all patent of course!!!) If I had the funds I would be spending much much more and all mostly purchased from Howcool.com or the suprise suprise shops along oxford st. Oooppps forgot to mention have just ordered today from Howcool the Pleaser Mary Jane pump with 6 inches with the red patent heel and black patent shoe and 2 front red straps! Couldnt resist!
benno Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Too many to count. Being a size 7 UK is a blessing and a curse because I know that any shoes I see on the high st will definitely fit me. Probably well over 100 pairs between my girlfriend and I (we both have the same size feet). There are shoes everywhere in our flat. Cheers, Ben
thedesigner Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 u lucky b'stard! Only have about 40 prs myself and soulmate will only let me have hers when she's bored with them, same size too...
Stilettoscot Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 7 now. More (pairs and variety) soon. All stiletto heeled shoes. A pair of 4" L'Heroux, elongated toe, black patent pump. A pair of 4 1/2" black pointy-toe pumps with buckle design on toe-box. A Pair of 4", pointy toe, dark brown sling-backs. A Pair of 5" (1/2" platform) red-mesh, peep-toe pumps with brown/wood colored heel and platform. A pair of 5 1/2" (1/2" platform) black patent, clear heeled sandals. A pair of 5 1/2" black D'Orsay pumps. A pair of 6" Pleaser Domina, again, black patent. Not much variety...I know...but working on that! Walking in ultra-highs because it's exciting...and it is!!
benno Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 u lucky b'stard! Only have about 40 prs myself and soulmate will only let me have hers when she's bored with them, same size too... If you have the same size feet why not share shoes? I find it a bit like having your own knife and fork set each and not just using whatever is in the drawer.
roniheels Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 12 pair of feminine high heels and 4 pairs of men's boots with higher heels.
DeSalto Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 70 +. Few pumps, most of them ankle strap stiletto sandals. DeSalto No shoe is better than a sexy pair of stilettos!
Dr. Shoe Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 I genuinely don't know. I once counted just over 400 pairs but that was a long time ago and since then I went through a phase where I was adding about 4 or 5 pairs a week. I have just about stopped buying now, partly through lack of funds and partly because I rarely see a pair I don't already own of a similar design..

radiodave Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Last I checked, about 35 pairs; pumps, wedge sandals, stiletto sandals, a few platforms, 2 pairs of boots, and couple of espadrilles. What's nice is having a walk-in closet now so I can have them out instead of stashed in a footlocker.
BoyLegs Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 More than I have room to store, unfortunately. When I find a pair I like, I want them in all the non-boring colors.
kennard Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Hello, everyone! 70 +. Few pumps, most of them ankle strap stiletto sandals. DeSalto Almost the same here, except for the "70+" part... I have around 20 pairs, with 3 pumps, 3 slides and the rest ankle strap sandals (my favorites, by the way). K. If the high heel shoe fits, wear it!
benno Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Hey Kennard. Have you got a good photo of the shoes in your Avatar? I really like the look of them... Where are they from? Regards, Ben
t-strap lover Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Right now, 200 pairs of t-strap heels plus other styles. I purchase 4 pairs a month average. t-straps are my favorite style.
kennard Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Hello, everyone! Hey Kennard. Have you got a good photo of the shoes in your Avatar? I really like the look of them... Where are they from? Regards, Ben Unfortunately, at the moment I don't have any better pics, just the ones from my original post (Fucsia Sandals). Once I have more free time, I'll try to take some new pictures of all my heels, using the digital camera I bought a few months ago. If the conditions allow, I might even put up a video or two. As DeSalto mentioned on another thread (see here), these are from a brazilian manufacturer called Datelli. Check out their web site, they're showcasing the Winter 2008 collection, with some interesting models, like the ones below. K. If the high heel shoe fits, wear it!
DeSalto Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Benno You can take a closer look at my heels, same as kennard: DeSalto No shoe is better than a sexy pair of stilettos!
docs41 Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Probably well over 100 pairs. If the wife wore the same size as I do the count would be much higher. While I wear a common size (10) she only wears a 6!! You guys who can swap with your mates are so lucky!!!! If the shoe fits-buy it!!!!!!
Stilettoscot Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Yay...up to 11 pairs now... docs, many here would say that you being a man, taking size 10, are also lucky... Walking in ultra-highs because it's exciting...and it is!!
Mr. X Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 I haven't really counted. But if I count my boots i'm probably around 10 pairs or so. And i'm in your boat docs. I take a size 9 or 10 depending on the shoe or boot
johnieheel Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 I genuinely don't know. I once counted just over 400 pairs but that was a long time ago and since then I went through a phase where I was adding about 4 or 5 pairs a week. I have just about stopped buying now, partly through lack of funds and partly because I rarely see a pair I don't already own of a similar design.. I think somebody is spoiled. As for me, I don't know. never counted but I estimate between 40 and 60. real men wear heels
Mckailah Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 I currently own: 2 pair of slides (4 inch and 6 inch with platforms) 3 pair of stilettos (3 inch, 4 inch mary janes, and 5 inch peep toes) 2 pair of strappy sandals (both 5 inch with one inch platform) 2 pair of clogs (both three inch) 3 pair of classic 4 inch closed toe pumps 1 pair of ballet heels 1 pair of thigh highs with a 6 inch heel and two inch platform 1 pair of 3 inch heeled go go boots and 16 pairs of what my wife refers to as "stripper shoes" (6 inch heels with four inch platform all the way up to a custom made 18 inch steel stiletto heel, 12 inch platform, open toe, open heel with quadruple ankle strap. I have to duck to walk in the house with those on. They are mostly for the bedroom ) Sorry, no pictures as of yet. Working on getting back home first.

aussieheels1 Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 too many for them to be hidden all the time.... over the years have chucked out a loads of them through guilt as well... probably binned over 40 pairs.... how i wish i've kept them.... at the moment i have around 50 or so pairs from 6 inch stilettos, knee high boots (FMB), calf boots, 5 inch pumps, wedges to ballet flats..... have to say... i love all femine style shoes irrespective of the heels....
Majo Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 At this time I'm in 50 pairs. But I've had to sweep the ones I don't use because I ran out of space. In total I owned 105 pairs.
blackslide Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Probably close to 200 pair. Like Dr. Shoe, I only buy something that is unique and high quality of a style I do not already own. Am lucky we have a second hand store where shoes are $3.50 and I wear size 9-1/2 - 11. It is not unusual for me to buy 2 or 3 pair at a time. I always wear women's shoes and have since high school (1966). Flats, heels, sandals, boots, winter boots, athletic shoes, and even safety boots.
SNYer Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Hmm...had to do some counting. 9 pairs of (black, brown, gray) cowboy boots that range from 2.5" to 3.5" heels. All except for two are knee high. 1 pair 3.5" black boots that look like the ones in my avatar. 1 pair 4" blade heel black knee boots. 1 pair each of black 4" and 5" stiletto ankle strap pumps. 1 pair of 3" ankle strap wedge sandals. I'm currently wearing the sandals right now.
Guest Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 more power to you dutch-bootboy!! I LOVE knee highs!! (the only ones I have!)
crotchboots-m Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 i own over 100 pairs of boots,sizes 12w to 15. most of them are black leather thigh high or taller with 3 to 5 inch heels. i own 2 pairs exactly like those in avatar.
highestheels Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 I only own 12 pairs. All stilettoes as I love the feel of them, a real ankle workout!
Guest Loveshiheels Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 At the moment I have 7 pairs. 1 pair of red cross-strap 2 pairs of black courts, 1 pair of Mary Jane's 1 pair of D,orsay 1 pair of Platforms. 1 pair of sandles I,m also on the look out for a pair of knee high boots.
