I did this a couple of times. I would go to Bakers or some other place right, see a pair of shoes and I would love them in the store, but when I get them home it's a different story. I have two pairs of shoes in my closet right now that I have yet to wear and I bought them last year during this time. It's frustrating and thank goodness I don't do it often,lol! Take care and God Bless!

That's a waste of money. You bought them and never worn them. I always make sure that when I buy stuff, I will wore them. I recently bought a pair of Adidas and I really like it. I wear all the time.

Yeah I did and my boyfriend always gets angry at me. Well I think the moment I but it I like it and the moment I have worn it i maybe feel odd with it so I just stop wearing that.

I do this with many things. Dresses is one of them. I'll go to the store, think it's really cute, buy it, then never wear it. I have bought two pairs of shoes that i've never worn, both over a year old. I think part of the reason why i dont wear them is because i dont want to have to break them in. So you're not alone!

No but I have bought a few pairs I only wore a couple of times only, guess I decided I didn't like them or they were uncomfortable. Now I have some clothes in my closet that still have tags on them and I have not worn yet. I bought a few things that were a great deal with the anticipation of "fitting " into them at a future date because I was going to lose enough weight. Well we are still working on that!!!! Maybe soon.

Well I haven't not worn any pair of shoes that I bought but what I would do at times is buy the shoes an.d wear them only once or twice. And the reason why I bought them in the first place is because I saw them on someone else's feet and they looked pretty decent, but when I get them home they aren't as attractive anymore. that tells me I need to stop looking at peoples feet. hahaha God Bless

For me, when I buy a pair of sneakers, I usually wait a few days and then I wear them. Now I have 3 different pairs of sneakers to wear. I don't buy shoes quite often. I haven't bought a pair since 3 years ago. I usually wear shoes longer than I expected. Once I see that they are worn out then I start going out to shop for more. I mean i'm like that to clothes. I usually buy clothes and never wear them until I realize that I have it and then I start to wear them. for some reason I like wearing clothes that I worn more often compare to new clothes. ^_^

Since I only buy shoes once in a while, there's no shoes that never been worn. I usually wear them for at least a month before buying a new ones. Some can be wear for a year (depend on my clothes and handbags)

This doesn't happen to me too often, but I do have one or two pairs of shoes that I've never worn. The worst was a pair of boots that I thought I liked, but I didn't have anything they looked good with. I kept them for about 8 years before finally deciding to get rid of them! LOL I also have shirts and dresses that I've bought that still have the tags on them. I am an impulse buyer sometimes, but I'm getting better about it. My husband tries to keep the reigns on me! :)

I used to do the same thing but it doesn't stop with a pair of shoes. It would also be a new dress or item of clothing I just bought but couldn't find a place or occasion to wear them to. I used to buy a lot of things that I ended up not using but now it's a different story. I'm more aware of the value of money.

I have never done that. I have always utilized the shoes that I have bought. I think it would be a waste of money if we wont be able to wear the shoes that we have payed for right. So I always make sure that what I buy fits me and will be usable for my activity.

No... never. I'm very choosy in buying things. I buy them only if I like it. And once I buy anything, I can never leave it like that. I always use them the immediate day onwards. Same is the case with the shoes as well. There is not a single shoe sleeping in my closet....

yeah i did that also, but for me it is kindda 3x in a row... i just look at it and then reserve it to any special occassions, like what had happen when i attend a wedding ceremony, i was not informned that i'm going to be the bride's maid. i dont have anytime to shoppe for a new pair of shoes then i just match up the color of the dress to the shoes that i jutst only kept on my closet then, i wear it and it was not money waste....at all..

Buying shoes and never wearing them isn't quite an option when you're hard pressed for cash :P In fact, I probably need to get some new shoes. I have about four pairs at any given time: regular casual wear shoes, running shoes, a pair of formal dress shoes, and a pair of hiking shoes I save for hiking and camping. The running shoes and casual shoes are usually worn out in a few months while the hiking and dress shoes are stowed away in the closet until I need to pull them out for an event.
