Geez - I thought having 10 pairs of boots was a lot (and two of those pairs of boots are "cowboy boots" and not at all suited to caving).
I agree though with the concept of different boots for different types of caving. About the only time I wear hiking boots for caving is when I'm strictly "pit bouncing" or if I need a new pair of "caving boots" and don't have time to go shopping. Hiking boots don't seem to give me good traction in cave once they get a coating of mud.
