I've actually wondered about this myself. I figure I need to increase my cover a little, because I dont think it would cover my kicks as well. Thing is, like a lot of collectable stuff, the value is subjective.
We may all say that a certain pair is "worth" £300, but surely insurance company would only pay what they actually cost, ie: £80.
That and the "worth" of some of them seems to change with time, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse.
What I actually paid for some of mine, and what they would have cost in the shop, is totally different (anniversaries a good example)
So I guess the question is not how much to cover them for, but what to try and claim should the need ever arise.
