2 pairs formal wingtips (dark brown pair w/laces, black pair without)
1 pair brown tasseled slip on dress shoes
1 pair dark pair penny loafers
1 pair hiking boots (for Alaska)
1 pair moccasin slippers (from Alaska)
1 pair walking/running shoes
1 pair plain black tennis shoes (like Beavis & Butthead)

2 suits, 20 ties and...

...one regular men's dress hat (cue up ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man")...

Ties - 3 iirc, though they are not worn often.

2 hats - one panama, one waterproof bush hat (both primarily to keep sun off face and neck).
6 pairs of gloves, from fingerless cycling gloves to one pair each of padded and hard-shell fencing gauntlets.


2 pairs of school shoes (4.5 H - one new; one on it's last legs, but more comfortable)
one pair of mocassins (over a decade old)
1 pair cycling shoes (cleated - road)

Various not yet thrown away but unwearable shoes/trainers etc "just in case", but I know I'll never wear most of them again as they have disintegrated socks. 3-4 pairs in various corners/wardrobes.

I get through shoes fairly quickly - and store bought don't last as long as hand made ones do - I'm lucky to get 6 months out of a pair of shoes, while the one pair of handmade ones I had lasted for 8 years (with replacement soles) before they gave at the stitching.

The shoes last a lot longer than trainers do though - the last pair I had split from the sole after only 4 months of use as fencing shoes for 5-6 hours a week. I struggle with finding shoes in my size (and with a flat footbed) in any type or size so I make do with what I can obtain. Upside, they don't carry VAT - downside, they are usually not tough and long lasting - and use padding to compensate fit and form (which is the bit that wears out first).. (they are expected to be grown out of fairly rapidly after all). Not nearly as comfortable as a simple full hide unlined shoe/boot is.
