I used to have to dress up at my old job, so that required more dress shoes. Now they sit in the closet getting dusty. I probably own 30-40 pairs, and I wouldn't say I'm a shoe freak.
I always buy shoes at the end of the season when they go on sale because I don't buy funky stuff that will only be in style for a year. I don't buy designer brands either because I just can't justify it to myself. I'd rather spend money on clothes I think people will notice more.
Of the shoes I own, I probably wear about 10 pairs regularly throughout the year. For summer I have the most options, at least 6 pairs are just summer shoes. And I usually go for style and then comfort, but generally I balance that because I know if they aren't comfortable I won't really wear them.
I always wear chunky heels too, because I have weak ankles that I'm always twisting. Stilleto heels would be the death of me!
