- b_e_n_t_o_n 1y agoYou'd be surprised how far white sneakers and some $5 flip flops can take you. Unless you're in a situation where you need a suit, but then you aren't one bagging it anyways...
- themadturk 1y agoHmm... <counts> One pair of dress (business causual) shoes, one pair of sneakers, one pair of slippers. A pair of hiking boots I haven't worn for five years. Even at the extremes I'm getting by with fewer than five pairs.
- unethical_ban 1y agoOver the course of the year, perhaps. Stylish running shoes can get you just about anywhere. Flipflops if you're going through hostels or beaches. Ankle-high boots can be stylish and functional for short hikes.
- hatthew 1y agoI wear flip flops every single day, and only switch to hiking boots for better arch support when I go on long hikes that matters. Sometimes I forget to bring my boots and end up climbing a mountain or wading a muddy stream with flip flops. The boots are marginally better, but not enough for me to notice; I only started them on hikes after my aunt pointed out that I didn't have great walking posture.
- driverdan 1y agoNo you don't. I went years wearing a single pair of shoes just fine. Including hiking, hot summers, and snowy winters.
- pavel_lishin 1y agoThe last time I needed dress shoes was my own wedding.
- bapak 1y agoSounds like no true Scotsman I own exactly one pair of shoes at the moment. Occasionally I also have slippers.
- danielmarkbruce 1y agoExactly. This is not living.
