Oh, slippers, I have two pairs of those too.

I am a total shoe snob. I own more pairs of brogues than is strictly necessary, all made properly in Northampton.

"I only have 8 pairs

Now that surprises me. So you have more corsets than footwear? Mind you corsets are bloody expensive.

I do yes.

I live in my pair of doc martins, I have a few pairs of irregular choice heels, some black wedges, ballet pump style summer shoes and just ordered a pair of new rocks"

Classics. Docs / new rocks and a dress and I'm weak at the knees.

Adopts Dad voice*

One pair of trainers will wear out in 6 to 12 months. A rack of trainers rotated will add years to each pair. Buy more shoes. Half a dozen pairs will do.
