- matt or shiny = 2
- flat heels, medium heels, high heels, stilettos, ankle boots, knee boots = 6
- pointy or rounded ends = 2
- with silvery decoration, goldy decoration or plain = 3
then the number of possible combinations, and thus the number of pairs of shoes you need, is 7 x 2 x 6 x 2 x 3 = 504. "Need" because your outfit will always require a specific combination of the above. (I probably messed up some of the details but the principle's there.) So if you have fewer than 500 pairs of shoes you must be exercising a lot of restraint etc etc.

But I'm sure you're not like that at all, really
BAAZ very close, but you also need to add sandals and peep-toes plus, to the heel types you are missing wedges. So I think that adds another few pairs of shoes to your 504.
