I just spent £270 on shoes

It’s a lot of money to spend on two pairs of shoes but you know what? I only have 2 pairs of shoes I wear and one pair of crocs. I will make good use out of them. I might send one of them back though. Yikes these shoes are expensive.

I calculated it, it’s almost 12 hours of my salary. But I don’t buy a lot of them so thats how I justify it. Actually a lot more hours and salary. But still, I needed them

I spent top dollar on my shoes. Wouldn’t do it again. Not worth it.

I’ll send them back if they’re not great as claimed, I just need proper hiking boots for when I got to the Jurassic coast. I might send back and buy something more reasonable in price.

I don’t know why I was stupid and wanted water proof shoes…I should’ve just bought a boot and done the work to break it in.

The shoe is fine, its just not holding up any way near as well as a boot would, and its not all that comfortable to be kicking boots to the curb.

I’ll chalk it up as a learning experience.

I could’ve bought a very very well made boot for the price I paid.

Sounds expensive. Back in the days when I was working I would practically buy only Tod’s. The cheapest were even +300€.

Now I buy my shoes in thrift stores and they have good quality ones for 15-20€.

Times can change.

I find walking shoes more economical, I usually go mid range around £120 a pair and my current ones are lasting and had them 2 years and still going strong. With trainers/sneakers they only last upwards of a year before they need replacing and those were around £90 a pair.

I’ve never spent more than £70 on a shoe I hope they are worth it. Mines are hiking shoes.

My shoes were like $20 on Amazon. I have a few pairs though. Sometimes I spring $50 for a pair of Nikes at the military exchange.

I spend money like water so no one to judge but shoes aren’t my thing.

I always buy Birkenstock sandals though they are the best.

I’m an unashamed sneaker-head so if these shoes make you happy I say go for it!

I’ve really been loving the new Skechers slip ins lately. :slight_smile:

Good shoes are a must if you’re on your feet a lot.

I’ve bought several shoes lately, too. I bought two pairs of Dr Marten’s, one slip-on Skechers for walking my new pup, two pairs of sandals, and a pair of black leather loafers for work. The Docs were pricey, and maybe the sandals, but I know what I like and rarely settle for less. Nothing wrong with that.

I bought a pair of Nikes back in 2008 or so for $100…I still have them.
