My Footwear Inventory

Shoes are one of my few indulgences, and still I only buy when it’s a great deal. A few years ago co-worker Darryl and I agreed it would be fun to have a pair of red shoes…former boss Steve had secured a pair. Couldn’t wear them often, but they’d be fun to have.

A few weeks ago I spied a pair of red suede Puma court shoes at Marshals for $25.00. Didn’t bite. Yesterday while looking for a pair of basketball shoes for Will I bought some driving shoes. Today I found the red Pumas are 25% off for the next two days. May have to get them tomorrow.

As justification, I’ve listed my current shoe inventory…

Dress Shoes
1. Black "Gucci" loafers…2006...work & nice occasions.
2. Black Brutini air loafers…2005...worn to work most days.
3. Black Timberlands…2006...look good with jeans/kaikis.
4. Brown Timberlands…2004...identical to the blacks.
5. Brown penny loafers…2007...mostly worn at work.
6. Brown driving shoes…2007...just got'em.

Nice Sneakers
7. NB – good…2004...still look new.
8. adidas Nastasis…2005...one of my favorites.
9. Puma Romas – blue trim…2006...best with jeans.
10. Puma driving shoes…2007...funky blue & grey trim.

Knock-Around the House Shoes
11. Puma Romas – less blue trim…2006...worn out more than # 9.
12. Nike Air Mocs...1995...look like a baked potato.
13. Merrill Loafers…2004...wear with jeans for the outdoor look.
14. Converse One-Stars…2001...blue suede, looks best with jeans.
15. Timberland Sandals…2003...great for going out in the summer.
16. Nike Prestos…2001...all black, I run in them at night!
17. NB grey/black…2003...for yardwork.
18. Reebok Pumps…2003...yellow! My houseshoes, or for movies.
19. Nike soccer slides…2001...at the beach or washing the car.
20. Oakley flip-flops…2005...black, so not really in style.
21. adidas coaching shoes…2006...for the ball field. Blue!
22. Converse Chuck Taylors...2005...black, they look too new.

Retired Shoes (keepers!)
23. Nike Air Flight Lites…1990...NY Knick colors.
24. Nike vintage Air Flights…1990...great with jeans, Will wears 'em.
25. Air Jordan 3’s…1988…busted, or I'd wear'em.
26. Nike Air Max…1988...classic running shoe.
27. NB running shoes…1998...yardwork.
28. Reebok basketball…1990...from Lang.
29. Nike All-Court (white)…1982...what everone used to wear.
30. Nike All-Court (black)…1983...the black version.
31. Tretorns…1984...my preppie phase.
32. Cordovan loafers…2004...just replaced by newer loafers.
33. Black pointy loafers…2002...still hanging in the closet.

Besides the groups, they’re in random order. Might’ve missed some retired shoes. Will has also inherted at least five other old pairs of mine, since he now wears the same size as me.

Good stuff on Nike, I also like to wear perfect nike air force one shoes. I think , there is a lot of choice in colours and style in comfort shoes with this brand.

Most people don't realize that in order to keep track of your shoes, you need an inventory control system like Master System, Inc. They have a software that allows you to track and manage all of your inventory and it also has integrated accounting. See www.mastersystem.com and or email me: gabec@mastersystem.com

Had some Air Force Ones myself. Let my son wear them, and he may have traded them away. This is an old list, so naturally I've added plenty more new pairs of shoes to the collection since then. Thanks for reading!
