I have three pair.  One is a leather loafer, a dressier shoe that I've 
not worn in over six years.

The other two are Brooks Beast sneakers.  One is about worn out, the 
other pair fairly new.  I keep the old one in case something ruins the 
newest one.

Why Brooks Beast?  Some years ago I has Planter Fasciitis. Orthopedic 
doctor recommended them and it has never come back.  Most comfortable 
footwear ever.  I've converted a couple of people that are on there feet 
a lot and they stick with them too.

My wife never had more than a few pairs,  She would not wear heels so 
that avoided one issue.
