School shoes. 2 pairs and maybe some grown out of rejects that have escaped the bin.
Messing around after school shoes. Scaffy trainers, 2 pairs.
Trying to be cool shoes. White (yuck!) trainers, but they will insist.
Going to work everyday shoes.
Going to work smart shoes.
Wearing with a dress shoes. One pair. Although there might still be some discards at the back of the wardrobe. Come on, have you ever seen me in a dress?
Grown up scruffy trainers, various.
Wellington boots. 4 pairs.
Steel toe capped, bright yellow welly boots. Required footwear at Sullom Voe despite the smallest size being rather bigger than my feet. Lots of socks necessary. And they give me a new pair every year – anyone need some yellow wellies?
Rigger boots. 1 pair. Husband’s – see yellow wellies.
Walking boots, various. For walking, obviously.
Cast off walking boots. For the garden and standing on the sidelines at cold, cold football matches.
Football boots. 2 pairs.
Astro turf boots. 2 pairs. Also useful for playing tennis. You can find an assortment of these on www.shoehero.com.
Running shoes. 3 pairs although only mine are used for their intended purpose these days.
Trail shoes. 1 pair. For those muddy fields and woodland paths, bought partly with my coming second voucher from last year’s Haddington tri.
Cycle shoes. 1 pair. They’re supposed to make me go faster. More cycling would make me go faster.
Squash shoes. 3 pairs, none of them mine. Plus some grown out of but not much used cast offs. Anyone want some non-marking, never used outside squash shoes?
Poolside shoes. Flip flops of various sorts.
Sandals, various.
Wearing with a kilt for pipe band shoes.
And I might have to crack this summer and buy a pair of proper tennis shoes to protect my dodgy ankle.
No wonder we can’t get up our stairs.

Hey! You promised me some of those yellow wellies! That’ll sort the Rugrats in the playground…:-)

August. You can have the new ones in August. I left the last lot at the cottage in Ireland.
and very nice they are too!
So glad they’ve found a good home. D’you want some oilskins?
I think this post could be sung to the Monty Python “Spam” tune. Shoes, shoes, shoes, shoes, everybody loves shoes.
Funny how I don’t feel like bursting into song when I see the mess of shoes that decorates our stairs. But yes, I see just what you mean!
I really liked this blog, very well prepared and with good topic of discussion.
Good day! I just would like to give a huge thumbs up for the nice info you have got here on this post. I will likely be coming again to your blog for more soon.
