i want these, but i already have 2 pairs sorta like them. the only difference is these are easy spirit, so i know they won't hurt after walking around for a long time.

ladies...advice, please!

I dunno. Depends on the shoe.

I really like these, but So far I haven't been able to bring myself to pay the $80 or $120 to get 'em.

$245 for a ballet flat? And for Easy Spirit? Hell no! Comfort is key, I agree, but not at 245 clams.

Guess I'm cheap that way.

The most I've ever spent on shoes are my nice Kenneth Cole black dress shoes that I wear with my suits. Spent $160 but I'll wear them for 4-5 years probably since I don't wear suits too often.

The most expensive shoes I've ever owned (read: parents bought), were some Vasque hiking boots that were around $200 but they've lasted me for over 12 years. I've even had them re-treaded.

the only reason i'm considering them is because i can wear them with almost anything, if not everything. and aren't easy spirt the shoes that look like a heel, but feel like a sneaker? so they're probably comfortable.

I've never gone much over $100.

I have a lot of shoes for a guy, though.

As my mother would say..."It's YOUR money not mine".

LOL! "mom, dad...can i have my christmas and birthday money early this year?"

~ $200. I can't bring myself to buy a pair of Allen Edmonds yet tho.

Now, Tod's Suede Driving Mocs? If I had the means, I would definitely get a pair.

i'm thinking of buying $250 fluevog heels or these $80 mary janes.

the most i've ever paid for shoes would be $150 for running shoes. even my knee high corset boots were under $100.

Spent 70 GBP ($130ish) for my Terra Plana BOIs, and barring formal occasions (TP Astons... also $130ish) they are the only shoes I wear.

I spent a lot on these when I was in Paris. They were probably about $200 CDN, but I couldn't resist and spoiled myself:



And yet these are the priciest shoes I got. I've seen them retail for $225 (don't worry, I didn't pay for them):

I bought a pair of Cole Haans for ~$150 and they are great shoes - but mostly for wearing with dress pants and suits, so I don't wear them all that often. I would expect to get 7-8 years out of them.

For casual shoes, It's been $90 at the most, but maybe someday I will join the big leagues and get some ridiculously expensive loafers. I'm a pretty big fan of shoes.

Those are dope.



I've probably spent around $200 on a pair of shoes before, but I probably wear my two pair of Vans Slip-Ons the most, and they cost $35.

Right. I should mention that despite having $1000+ worth of shoes in my closet, I pretty much only wear my 3 year old disgusting New Balances.

i just can't imagine spending over $100 for something that I'm eventually going to stink up and get dirty.

$45 is my limit.
I'm thrifty.

I usually don't spend less than a 100 on shoes. I spent as much as 275 and would probably go up to 300. I'd rather buy quality that'll last and still look good.

yeah, i'm more around the $50-$70 range

Being on my feet all day, I'll do what I gotta do to make it happen.

I've got two pairs of shoes that I teach in, Borns (I think they were $120, and $200 Birk dress shoes. The last pair of Birk dress shoes I had I wore daily from 99 till 05.

Worth it to me. $300 some for w pairs of shoes that will easily last me 5 years = totally worth it.

i have 4 pairs of dress shoes and only one (the most casual, by far) was less than $100 ($89). shoes are one thing that i won't skimp on.

No you're not. If you're going to spend $245, it better be on an Italian shoe or something completely inappropriate and sexy, not an Easy Spirit ballet flat.

edit: my next suggestion would be to befriend folks who work in retail, so you can cash in on the friend discount.

$245 for easy spirit ballet flats?!?! HELL NO!

i got a pair of white steve madden flats in a similar style for $55 and i thought that was ridiculous (the other flats i have were $20 max) but then the comfort and quality was worth it.

i've been eyeing this pair of shoes for quite sometime (plus i haven't bought a pair of pumas in awhile), but they're $160:


one day i'm going to get those. i usually don't spend over $100 for a pair of shoes.

Holy crap, how do they justify charging that much for those shoes? Do they at least give you a reach around while you're buying them?

I bought these redwings I'm wearing for $150 but they last for like 6 years and I wear them almost everyday so you kinda get your moneys worth.

i'm not a big shoe person, but i do have a pair of knee-high leather boots that were about $300.
