How often do you buy new shoes?

[Jude]

Ever have that feeling of disgruntledness(yeah yeah, not a word!) so you partake in some retail therapy? I did last night and bought three pairs of boots. Okay, Report Boots are my weakness and I do know that these material possesions are merely a temporary fix to my greater issue. Yes, however, they are so damned nice!

Anyway, this got me wondering....

How often do you buy shoes ladies. Are you like me, head easily turned by all the newest styles that are released and unable to resist or are you rocking last season's shoes and looking damned good while doing it.

Let's discuss!

I'm not that big of a shoe girl! I'm more a bag girl!

I'll wear my shoes until I think I could need a new pair! Right now I'm on my record of shoe pair uses! I have two pairs of Puma Sneakers and my Ugg Boots!
But I'm in search for the ultimate boots with low heels!

 

[jasper17]

I but shoes whenever I see something I like, if I wreck a pair I already have or if I buy an outfit that requires shoes that I don't already have. So I guess every few weeks, maybe a little less frequently. Lately, not as much as everything has been either brown loafers or black.

I would buy a LOT of shoes if I wore heels. I love love love heels but they're just not practical for me because they never get any time on my feet. I love my flip flops, usually just Rainbows (I love havaianas but they hurt my feet!), and I couldn't live without my Uggs in the winter. Other than that, I have a couple pairs of heels that I only wear when I must....I am currently OBSESSED with finding the perfect pair of adorned/embellished flats, I want a pair of pointy-toed flats and a pair of sandals....but those may have to wait until spring!

I used to every week, but now I don't even wear shoes much anymore. If anything I buy new footwear (boots, shoes, sneakers) once every 3 months or so.

Oh I am such a shoe person... and a bog person... and an accessory person... and a makeup person... ok... forgot... just shoes...

well when I'm in a nasty mood or when im in a really good mood or when im in a shopping mood or when im sad or when im angry or when im celebrating!!! lmao... i guess i buy shoes a lot. when i was in college i used to go shopping if i got a good grade on a test or is i god a bad grade on a test or if i was nervous about a test... lol. i would use any excuse... lol

I used to buy shoes all the damn time! But, now I just wear flip flops 99% of the time, even to work. So I've cut down on shoe buying but my boyfriend thinks it's crazy that I have almost 20 pairs of flip flops!!! and Alliswan where in FL do you live? b/c I live in Tampa and even in the so called FL winter I still wear flip flops.

I have lots of trouble with my feet (very insane high arch) so most shoes kill my feet. I only buy shoes or boots once in a blue moon and then wear them until they fall apart. My current pair of shoes/boots are 6 years old and going strong. They are Fluevogs though, and I bet I'll get another 5 years out of them.

I used to be a shoe fiend (as my closet in my childhood bedroom at my parents' house demonstrates), but in recent years I have seriously cut back. I am flat-footed, so I have a hard time buying shoes to begin with, and I need comfortable shoes that don't irritate the arthritis in my knees (I know, I know, I'm turning old before my time). I basically buy a new pair at the beginning of a season (boots in winter, sneakers in the spring, sandals in the summer, business-y shoes for the fall) and if I need them for an occasion (like if I need fancy shoes to go with a new dress if I don't have any that will work). In recent years, I've pretty much directed what used to be excessive shoe shopping money into excessive makeup shopping money!

 

[user3]

Like once every 3 months. I use to buy shoes all the time and suddenly I stopped and started buying tons of makeup!

 

[Ms. Z]

Every chance I get.

I Love, Love, Love Shoes!

 

[dreams]

Once in about 2-3 months...Not a BIG fan, but I do like the odd splurge on shoes...=]

 

[Vespcat]

Once every 4-5 months or so, I would probably buy them more often but i'm so picky when it comes to shoes that I hardly ever find any that i like!

 

[Spam.n.Rice]

About once or twice a year. It's really hard since I'm very limited on money cuz you know bills come first, then food, entertainment, etc.

 

[makeup_junkie]

I average about one pair of shoes a week. I have an unfair advantage since I work in a shoe boutique and I get to buy all of my shoes at cost (approximately 65% off the retail price). Needless to say I have an enormous shoe collection, about 120 pairs of shoes. Over half of them are heels because I'm obsessed with pumps. Plus we have to wear heels to work so that's how I justify buying another pair of purple suede round toe pumps... I can't help but buy shoes when I'm surrounded by them all day...BCBG, Steve, Nine West, Hollywood, Frye, Uggs, Sergio....I can't help it! I go to school, buy shoes, and buy MAC. Yep that pretty much sums up my life. And I drink sometimes...

 

[Juneplum]

HA! right now i have 114 pairs of shoes in my closet!! (the DH made me count them) i am like a moth to a flame with shoes (and handbags)! at LEAST 2-3 times a month!!

 

[beautifulxdisaster]

On average, I buy 2 new pairs of sneakers *vans, puma, converse etc* a year. I hardly do any running so they don't get worn out that fast.
I'll buy new flats/heels/"special shoes" every once in a while, I can hardly focus on shoes!!

 

[Christina Victoria]

I buy about two pairs every 3 months or so, most of them are casual Ballet Flats or clogs. If I see a specific style I like, I can't resist.

 

[Mandaryna]

If I see a pair of shoes I love,I can't resist buying them.I buy 2-3 pairs of shoes a month.Heh.

 

[Isis]

I don't buy shoes often enough, I'm so picky! Maybe too picky.... But I'm like that with everything. When I really want something though I'm on it like it's my last day on earth LOL
