I prefer buy a medium-level price shoes for working which balance the quality/comfortable and cost.

How often do I need to buy a new pair sometimes really defense on the habit/position you walk. When I walk, my foot will toward outside so the portion of my shoe bottom will wear more often, so it takes about 10 months I have to change to another pair.(my working shoes has a good quality).

I have to admit… I own more pairs of girly shoes than i will ever wear. BUT

I have a pair of New Rocks. I am not a goth persay but i do love these shoes/boots. They go with trousers and short skirts

I find that normal shoes dont have the life in them. I spent Â£80 on a pair of trainers a good few years ago now and my feet managed to kill them within 2 weeks. Shoes dont last long with me. But my NR’s? I bough them second hand for Â£28! and they have lasted over a year now and only just starting to show signs that i might be pushing them too far.

I over pronate (walk on the sides of my heels) and so that bit goes first.

So yeah i go for cheaper shoes usually… But its false economy. NR’s cost in the region of Â£125 a pair new. But they last so long!

Shoes shoes glorious shoes…

well, I think it pays to buy decent shoes as a size 5.5 myself the cheaper shoes only seem to come in full sizes.

I like a decent, comfortable leather shoe, being on my feet all day I find man made trash only results in sore feet!

Clarks shop here I come…..

buy shoes? run that one by me again please.
seriously though, i buy 1 pair of cheap trainers (sports soccer, decent names at low prices) about every other year and get boots for work (even though i work in an office, sometimes i have to go out and get dirty). i’ve got the shoes from my wedding (5 years ago, that i’d already owned for a while anyway) that just get the dust wiped off them now and again when we go out and another pair that the wife insisted i get that i must have had on three times max (about 4yrs old). i’ve just noticed a burst stitch on my current trainers so in about 6 months it might be time to visit wynsors shoes where our kid is the manager.
i don’t get out much……..

I tend to agree - I don’t like paying more than Â£20 for shoes. However, my wife has started making remarks about workers conditions and carbon footprint everytime we go near a bargin shoe shop now…

I’ve found that spending a bit more on the right shoes pays off, at least for me. I’ve currently got a pair each of black Rockports and Timberlands I can wear to work that are soooo comfy. Having said that I picked them up at a Pavers discount store, so they were kind of cheap.

I like shoes… well I like trainers. I have to wear shoes for work, and I don’t really like them.

Anyway I tend to buy only from sales. My current work shoes are a nice pair of Kangols that I managed to pick up for a tenner.

I don’t think I’ve paid much more than Â£25 for quite a few years. Places like TK Maxx are good, and Cheshire Oaks Outlet Village.

I do tend to buy a lot of trainers though. I’ve got 7 or 8 pairs on the go at the moment I think, if I see a good pair of cheap shoes it’s hard to walk away.

I spend about as much as you but I tend to wait for the sales, so I can sometimes find an expensive pair of shoes that will cost Â£40-50 pounds. I like shoes. Especially Italian shoes, and I spend a lot fo time in shoe shops. Although not as much time as my wife does.
