How many tennis shoes do you own?

My gear acquisition syndrome is really getting ridiculous. I have 6 shoes. To rationalize it, some shoes have to be white to play at some clubs, others I will wear to the gym and public courts so they have to have some color and be stylish.

My shoes:
barricade 4
Vapor 5
resolution 2
cage 2 (2 pairs)
nike ballistic (on the way)

I have ten pairs in box and 4 pairs in rotation, a couple soon to die. Look for sales after season or last seasons shoes for the best buy.

I have one that I'm using. In the closet are an additional four or five pairs of tennis shoes and three pairs of running shoes. I like to stock up on New Balance shoes when they are on sale.

2 pairs of Feather II's and 1 pair of Barricade II's.
Using the Feathers in both summer and winter (indoor) for clay and the Barricade's mostly in the winter on indoor carpet.

Barricade 4 US Open Special Edition (stars and stripes) for just kickin around
Babolat Team All Court for teaching tennis
Babolat Team All Court White for those trips to the Hall of Fame in RI
Babolat Propulse (silver/blue) and Propulse 2 for tournaments

Maybe that's a lot. Oh well.

I have one pair for training which are my heavy K Swiss.

You guys are going to laugh at me here but i use Dunlop Volleys to play, every time i wear them out i take the sole out which i add to the new pair which creates more support.

Plus they only cost about 15 AUD so they can be replaced quite easily

3. I find it very hard to toss the shoes into a dumpster so I have couple more that are out of action.

You can recycle them by taking them to a nike store if that makes you feel better... I have trouble letting mine go as well. I only have two pairs. One adidas one new balance. Since I started playing frequently I have a desire to get one or two more pairs.

Where's llendl and federer fan? I recall him having like 50 Vapors.

I recall pictures by people who have more pairs than many shoe stores.:)

I have 5 pairs at the moment, though two are almost dead. The two I use are both showing midsole at the moment - Yonex and Reebok. I've got another pair of Yonex new in a box, a new pair of Asics Gel Games, and a pair of K-Swiss ultra-naturals I've been using sometimes for practice.

I try to rotate pairs so that they dry out between playing.
