Shoes and how we choose them... style or comfort?, price, place we get them  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 94/100. whiteheron (1264)   ranked 327 out of 5,523 in shopping 4 years ago

I tend to purchase one pair of comfortable shoes at Payless Shoes Store and then wear it into the ground... I replace it only when it gets to start looking very, very old and tired. My most recent pair of shoes is a pair of black slip ons, very comfortable, purchased for about $17. It replaced a pair of slip resistant shoes which all the people I know said were starting to look horrible... grins.

Some of my friends like to purchase shoes that look nice. They will suffer for beauty, they say. They cannot sometimes understand why I like to wear my old shoes...

What do you look for in a shoe?
Do you go for comfort?
Do you go for style?
Which is more important to you?
Do you look at other people's shoes much?
Do you judge people lesser if they are wearing comfortable but not stylish shoes?
Where do you get your shoes and how much are you willing to pay for them?

I look for comfort.
I seldom look for style.
I can look at other people´s shoes,and think they´re good looking.
I don´t want to pay too much for a pair of shoes.
I prefer to buy cheaper ones,and buy them more often

For most of the time, I look for the style and of course with measuring the price. I often buy cute shoes but don't really comfort for my feet, hurting even. But I still wear them though, I can't resist cute shoes. And I also like to order a custom made shoes, a friend of mine make those shoes, I can just look for pictures of shoes I want and give it to him and it'll be done in a week or more. He already knows my size and the price is a bargain.

Flip flops and slippers are indeed the most comfortable... I must admit that I try to find shoes that have that same kind of comfort. Thanks for posting here.

i mainly see how comfortable the shoe is. it is the first priority for me. then obviously whether it is good looking. it must not be very stylus but at least acceptable. then the main thing is price and from where i am buying it.

always comfort for me. no heels and nothing with buckles of any kind. i shop at pay less or walmart as we do not have alot of money for such things and i look for sales. i tend to wear sneakers almost everyday and a very comfortable pair of sandals in the summer so i do not buy alot of different shoes.

It depends on what kind of shoe!

If it's a pair of sneakers, I usually go for comfort + price or the best possible combination available. I'm on a limited budget so as much as I like to buy the next pair of branded shoes, I can't so I make do with what I have.

For heels or sandals, I opt for looks followed closely by price and again the best possible combination. Comfort for heels are almost non-existent, if you know what I mean! XD

No, I don't judge people for wearing comfortable but non-stylish shoes. I do cast a funny look if I see people with shoes that are about to fall apart at the next step!

When I was in Malaysia, I get my shoes from Nose, and Vincci followed by whatever brands carried by the big stores.

In Switzerland, I stick to Vogele Shoes for my boots and a local sports store for bargains and sneakers. I have yet to purchase sandals here because I know I can get them for way cheaper in Malaysia (I also shipped some of mine over with my other stuff) and well, I just don't think the ones here look nice.

The price I paid for them? Minimum RM49 (divide by 3.5 for USD currency) and max RM69. The only exceptions were shoes for my wedding which nearly costs RM100.

Foe me it's mostly style and comfort. I like nice shoes that will look good with my suits. I get new ones every two years unless I need them sooner than that. I usualy just find the color I need and see which style look best on me and those are the ones I get. I aslo like them to be comfortable since I wear them so many hours in one day.

I like comfortable shoes with nice style
Sometimes I would choose expensive ones if I real like them.
But I like cheap ones, too. As you can see ,as a girl,many nice shoes are necessary.I will buy many them to match my clothes. But I do not have so much money . So I need some cheap .
