1 pair of old faithful racers (train/race in all the time) - shoe goo'd up, had them for months
1 pair of new racers (shoo goo'd, worn for 1 race, put back in box 'til others fall apart)
2 pairs of 'other' racers (rarely wear these, actually never - but they were a good bargain and rare shoes in the UK)
1 pair of spikes (snow)

Have to have more than that - need at least a pair at home and a pair at work because of commuting issues, so I have to have more work shoes because of running.

in answer to the opening question, yes. think its a good thing that helps decrease injury chances and keeps your run more interesting?

Newtons,Asics,Brooks.

5 pairs of off-road shoes. I changed to minimalist off-roads, of which I have 2 pairs, so the 3 other pairs sit in the shoe rack forlornly.
One pair of road shoes which need replacing. I hardly ever run on road.

Oh and I would like to buy 2 of each and used to, but finances at the moment don't allow for that.

I am ashamed to admit how many pairs I have. I rotate them to even out wear. On pair I have relegated to just everyday usage as I always had a bad run in them :)

Just 1 pair of offroad.
Legion of on road
Nike/Mizuno/Asics although I seem to be trouble free with most makes which is a bonus :)

2 pairs off-road, 1 racing, 2 clumpy on road, one lightweight onroad. One of these pairs is at work for lunchtime jaunts.

I am very lazy at tracking mileage.
