I own around 45 pairs of shoes/sandals. Many which haven’t been worn for years but don’t want to throw them out as I may wear them in the future.

As for the oldest item of clothing; I haven’t a clue

I inspired someone? Hell, wait for the revolution I am masterminding...noway

I love retro/vintage clothing, although I do not wear it much and my daughter steals it all.
So some of my items of clothing are 70's.

I recently did a huge wardrobe sort, donated it and now I have about 15 pairs of shoes/boots.
Oldest is beyond my re...collection...

3 pairs of shoes
2 pairs of slippers
3 pairs of boots (one pair was given to me this past Christmas)

Oldest is the ankle boots I got last winter, and the oldest item of clothing is a bathing suit I bought 3 years ago.

I think
1x real Dutch clogs, wear them regularly to walk to the garage or bin
4x boots --> hardly ever wear them, some are 17 yrs old
1x sneakers --> daily footwear
2x high heels --> special occasion only --> foot torture
3x old sneakers for garden work etc

Probably some other shoes that I have forgotten and do not wear

Oldest garment... probably some 18 years old. When I moved in here I still had dresses from when I was 18... Nostalgia!
I chucked those.

1 pair of slippers.

1 pair of Chelsea boots.

1 pair of tennis shoes.

1 pair of snow boots.

I purge my closet often.

I think the oldest piece of clothing I have is a long suede/leather skirt that belonged to my mom. Never seen her wear it in all my years. Will take a gander and say it’s at least20-30 years old?

I’m keeping it. *laughing*

One pair of slippers.
Two pairs of shoes:one pair brown, one pair black.
Three pairs of boots.

The oldest thing in my wardrobe? A waterproof overcoat I've had for at least 30 years. It's worn every winter.

hahahahahaha shuicidal…
I am feeling quite undershoed now.
I have ONE (pair) of the following:

Slippers, tennis shoes, boots.
(As explanation, all my stuff was stolen -12 years ago- and that
included clothes and footwear..the trauma keeps me from replacing
it all.)

I'm not rich enough to own shoes to match different suits or whatever. So I just have the basic "work shoes type a, and work boots type a," and then a pair of sneakers for non work days. Each pair is as old as whatever, and gets replaced when worn. Nothing's brand new at the moment, but new work shoes will probably become necessary this spring.

My one splurge, is a pair of VERY fancy nineteenth century-style rich guy slippers. Black velvet tops with silver thread. Cost me more than my work shoes.

Flippin heck Freebird where the hell do you keep them all?

I mean it's huge of you to come out of the closet like this, and I'm not one to judge but 110 pairs of shoes? Waaaaat

OT i've got about 6. 2 pairs of tough walking shoes a pair of good boots a couple of pairs of ordinary black shoes and a pair of dancing spats.

I got a 10 year old Ralf Louren shirt. that's about it.
