assuming each one takes 15 seconds to write
you have spent about two weeks of the last 5 years of your life writing posts similar to what's above
another broad but probably conservative assumption: 2 minutes of browsing for every 1 post
thats two months of browsing paired with two weeks of posting
you have spent 10 weeks of your life, 1680 hours, nearly an entire working-year posting on bikeforums.net
congratulations sir

5 pairs of cycling shoes isn't that outrageous. Stuff tends to accumulate over time.
I've got a pair of Rocket 7's. Then a cheap pair of Shimano tri shoes I bough to use when the Rocket7s were being adjusted. Then a pair of Lake CX401's when I thought the Rocket 7's were going to be toast (but ended up getting fixed)
And a pair of diadoras set up with old style cleats for the track bike with toe clips. So I'm just one short.

You can buy heat mold-able inserts for Sidis, yes? Just curious, I'm really looking forward to them, want to make sure they "glove" my foot.

I know.
The thing is I have never paid even close to retail for any of them.
I had the Genius 5 and Dominator 5 shoes and liked them. Then I had the chance to pick up the Genius 6.6 on a special deal where someone was importing directly from Italy - so I bought 2 pair and thought "I'll never need to buy another pair of shoes".
They have been so comfortable ( and very cheap) that when the same guy offered me a chance to get into his deal again this year I picked up two pair of Ergos 2's. At a price that was frankly silly cheap.
I had picked up the Energy 2's and Dragons in the interim. Most of them are in the cupboard and I truly " never have to buy another pair of shoes as long as I live"

Some of us work our asses off but don't make enough money to be able to afford even one good pair of shoes. Just hope you realize how lucky you are.
