Guitars vs shoes
« on: August 25, 2010, 03:39:45 PM »
This is one stupid post, but I just can't help myself and have to ask.

Women are notorious for buying A LOT of shoes and supposedly guys don't really get this fettish. So the question is: How many of you guys' guitar collection outnumber your shoe collection?

Mine certainly doesn't. I own a lot more shoes than I own guitars (you can call me metro sexual if you want  :D).

This sounds like an argument between my other half and myself :P

For me, more guitars.

I'd say I have about 6 times as many guitars as shoes (that's counting a pair of shoes as "one", of course).

I'm about the same as Philly...

(As long as I'm allowed to count the following as "shoes":
- 1 pair of walking boots
- 1 pair of 15 year-old trainers with holes in the bottom
- 1 pair of slippers with holes all over them
If I can't count these as "shoes", then I have at least 10 times as many guitars as pairs of shoes :roll:)

Men don't get the shoe fetish? Hmm, I beg to differ! ;)

I actually have quite a lot of shoes, but that's mainly because I'm a terrible hoarder who doesn't throw things away once they're worn out (with the amount of clothes & shoes I've kept on the basis that "they'll be good for gardening or painting", you'd think I spent my life doing those things... :roll:).

Either way it's still some way short of the number of guitars I own... :)

I think me and Jonathan do. Albiet not shoes I'd wear.

I've got an equal number of pairs of shoes and guitars. Four.

I only count myself as having 1 guitar, although that's not counting the acoustic or the gig backup ibanez (which now has the black dog in but I didn't even test it to make sure I'd wired it properly :D).

So definitely more shoes, but only by virtue of me not having guitar-AS.

I've probably got 5 times more guitars than shoes.. Most of my shoes are cycling shoes too.

Basically my go-to shoes are Doc Marten boots or Rebook Classic trainers.

Cycling shoewise I have three pairs I really like - some very very cool red SiDI, Exustar commuter shoes and some Northface sandals.

But yeah, guitars are better than shoes! I'm not really a shoes guy

You should change your name to "Shoefan".

If you include sports shoes then definitely more shoes. 10 pairs I think, and my guitar collection's a bit dire at the moment. 1 playable  :lol:

I'm glad that this silly topic caught on. And like I guessed some of you guys actually do own a lot more guitars than shoes  :D
