52. I have 2 pairs

But my spouse has about 7 or 8. However she is a polio survivor and has to have a 1 inch lift on the right shoe. All made more difficult because she wears a size 1. So she pays maybe 50 or so for a pair then $80 for each lift. Finding quality kids size shoes is a major endeavor for her.
