Men's Shoes: How much is too much?

A recent study suggests that around 34% of men own seven or more pairs of shoes, a number that is rapidly rising. With the rise of the metrosexual and the general acceptance of the fashionable male, owning more than one pair - even a few pairs of shoes - has become acceptable, even welcomed. But how many pairs of shoes is too much for one man?

To answer this question, it's important to ask just how many pairs of shoes a man needs. In the past men owned just one pair of shoes; however it's easy to see why there could be flaws in owning just one pair of shoes.

With fashion trends playing more of a role in a man's wardrobe and advanced technology offering an advanced range of shoes for different purposes, it's now possible to get more shoes for a variety of roles. Shoes are no longer clearly set out for clearly different purposes - formal, sport, going out - as those categories now have different subsets - dedicated running shoes, indoor trainers, sports shoes etc.

Formal shoes also now come in various forms and colours - while some smart shoes will be great for work, they may not match a certain shade of suit or they may not have be right to wear to a formal occasion such as a wedding where you'll need the right kind of sole to wear on the dance floor.

Formal black mens shoes could also double up as the shoes for funerals, weddings and possibly even job interviews. After all, unless you're attending formal events every weekend, the chances are you won't wear your formal shoes down too much.

The number of pairs of shoes owned by a man really starts to add up when you count the shoes men set aside for going out and socialising. It is here that men tend to treat themselves to several pairs of shoes, often assigned to different outfits or styles. In fact it wouldn't be unusual for a man to own canvas shoes, loafers and a pair of boots.

After all, boots, lug soles, loafers and sandals all work well with jeans but for casual trousers oxford shoes or very formal loafers work best. While many men buy a pair of loafers to suit both types of trousers, having separate shoes for both types of dress is perfectly acceptable.

Finally, every man is allowed to have his own pair of trainers for everyday wear. While the other pair of shoes serve specific purposes such as formal, work and sport - these shoes are suitable for everything else with no restrictions.

So is there a limit to the number of pairs of shoes a man should own? As long as each pair of shoes can be justified, a man can own as many pairs as he likes.
