Other than a pair of sandals I haven't worn in years, I think all my shoes are "athletic shoes." I don't have any that would remotely be called dress shoes. Two pairs of sneakers, a pair of trail shoes, and one of hiking boots. Also a couple pairs of water shoes and wader boots. Oh, and the 20 year old Crocs I'm wearing right now.
