Okay, shoe lovers. It’s time for you to confess! Tell us how many pairs of shoes you bring with you when you travel in your RV. Just include your shoes, not your partner’s shoes or anyone else’s who may travel with you.
Do you just carry one or two pairs—only what you really need? Or about five or six? 10? 15? More than 15? Wow! Well, if you have that many shoes, you’ll probably want to read Nanci Dixon’s article about a place you probably haven’t thought of to store shoes in your RV… It could help you out!
If you’re willing to admit the number out loud, leave a comment and tell us exactly how many pairs of shoes you have. Thanks!


I am not in need of more than one pair unless you count shower shoes (Flip Flops)
a pair of soft shoes and a pair of sandals.
Crocs for the wet, muddy days. Steel toed for repair events. Slip-ons for casual.
Tevas for everything else.
Oh my! As a full-timer, nine pairs: winter, summer, hiking, slogging, dressy [weddings & funerals]….
Regular shoes, sandals, hiking boots for hiking, flipflops for crossing streams when hiking.
The survey wouldn’t load for me. I’m a full timer and probably have at least 15 pr of shoes. Needless to say, I’m a shoe lover!!
Hi, Christine. Sorry the survey didn’t load. Here’s a suggestion from Jessica which might help: “Sometimes script blockers and ad blockers interfere with our polls since they are from a 3rd party site. If you have one of these try and turn it off and see if that fixes the issue.” Good luck! And have a great day. 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
I bring them all. Full-timer here 😉
Three pair. One for wearing around the campground, One for when we sight see or go out to to eat or shop and pair of comfortable slip on’s for inside.
Close to full-time- 2 flip-flops, 1 dress shoes, 1 hikers, 1 fishing boots, 1 snow boots, 2 tennis shoes, and 1 indoor/outdoor slippers. Debating on whether I should bring waders full-time or only when in Alaska!
What if you are fly fishing in MT? Might need those waders!
Sandals for relaxing around camp, worn pair of hiking shoes for the trails, projects and inclimate weather, nice clean pair of hiking shoes as my go-out-in the public shoes.
Me, 2 pair. The one I’m wearing and another. My wife, I’d say 16/20 pair. Really
They are all under the dinette booth seat in plastic bags
For the wife I’d conservatively say 20+.
Five votes for more than 15 pairs of shoes? I’m not sure I’ve owned 15 pairs of shoes in my lifetime! 🙂
I said 3 or less that includes house slippers. DW, now that’s a different story.
All of them. Full time for 17 years.
Hiking boots, couple tennys, and a good pair for dress for church and have been to 2 funerals in 25 years of travel.
Guess you have to define trip…going south for the winter is different than a weekend club rally. I answered going south for the winter.
Four pair – but that includes bathhouse slippers, warm house slippers for inside the RV when it is cool weather, and two external pair (in case one pair gets wet, etc.)
Depends on the trip. Will we be hiking, dressing up, work that requires steel toes?
Flip flops for showers, hiking shoes/boots, white and black tenneys, slippers for inside comfort, and 1 decent pair of shoes to go out in
I’m spending part of the current trip grandparenting the little ones at their house so I came ready to “furnish” the closet at their house so I wouldn’t have to take everything back and forth when I stay overnight there so extra slippers, tennys, sandals. (They are in Montana and I also have a pair of snow boots at their house so I don’t have to haul them when I fly up to visit in the winter.) Then there are the ones I just bought on clearance at Wally!
I live in my Sorel’s have them in 4 colors.
My wife calls me “The Imelda Marcos of Camping”. I usually have around 5 or 6 different pairs of footwear kept in our trailer at all times for different scenarios; insulated slippers for at night/morning dog walks, Tevas, hiking boots for both dry and wet conditions, walking shoes, running shoes, and semi-formal loafers.
I have usually 3 pair, Sandles, tennis shoes, work boots. If we are going to a wedding or another dress place I’ll take a dress shoe.
I just started full time. Sneakers, hiking boots, rubber boots for dumping. My very first dump I got splattered, more like drenched, cuz valve hadn’t been properly closed when salesman showed me where and how to dump
Since I live full time I carry 6 pr.
Flip flops for camp showers
Rubber boots
Hiking shoes
1 pr slip on sneakers
1 pr lined Crocs for cold areas (house shoes)
1 pr unlined Crocs (house shoes)
We are traveling FT RVers so everything we own is with us. I have 6 pair of shoes. Seriously, too many but I have backup pairs of my favorite sandals since finding ones to fit a narrow foot is hard.
I voted 4-8, but it usually is 3-4. We rarely travel longer than a couple of weeks at a time. Usually it is 3-5 nights, so not so many shoes.
