No one needs six pairs of the same type of shoe IMO. But I’ve noticed if you wear only one pair they are more prone to developing odor than if you rotate them with a second pair, so there’s maybe a practical reason for more than one. Not to mention our culture sometimes(unfortunately!) looks down on people that don’t vary their outfit, maybe because lack of variety is a signal that it can’t be afforded, so it’s a marker of status.
