Rotation for Gym:
Anazasi velcro 3 resoles in 5mm
X-ray 1 resole in 5mm
Rotation for sport face limestone:
Miuras (2) 2 or 3 resoles
Miuras new
Rotation for bouldering
Katanas (2)
8 pairs in total, the thing is I live in Mexico and for resoles to be economically interesting, I have to send many pairs at the same time, so around every year I send most of them for a resole. With proper care, you easily get 4 resoles out of sportiva shoes. My Anazasis were only able to take 3 resoles.
I havent bought shoes in more than a year, just resolings.

At least 20 pairs somewhere in the lifecycle from box to trash can.
Just keep in mind, climbing shoes is a much broader category than some of you seem to think.

I have three pair:
1pr. Aces - my first pair of shoes; just had them resoled after sitting for a year and now I hate them
1pr. Scarpa Inverno slippers - see above (actually, they're awesom, they're just too tight now)
1pr. Moccasym's that I wear for everything. They're awesome, but a bit tight for longer stuff. I want to get another pair slightly bigger to wear for all day/long routes.

Five.
One pair is trashed though.
Incidentally, I never wear slippers. My feet are too long and skinny so I like a stiff edging machine for my choice. I love the LaSportiva Syncros sp? the best. Since they quit making them I baby the pair I have now (thank God for resolers). I tried the LaSportiva Focus but they do not do justice to the Syncros.

Well I've always said that having more shoes means that the perfectly broken in pair will last longer.
3 par katanas (one new, not used yet. one about to be retired)
3 pair miuras (one new, not used yet. one relegated to long multi-pitching)
1 pair cobras
1 pair miuras
1 pair testarossas
= 9
The embarassing thing is that when I go on a road trip I usually have over 10 pairs of shoes with sandals, approach shoes, runners, climbing shoes. At least they have a purpose :)

Let's see:
Boreal Aces (love em)
Boreal Lasers (hate em)
Miuras (not worn em yet)
approach shoes
I'm always trying new ones on. I guess I just love the smell of new shoes.
