£130 for a pair of day to day shoes? i tend to only buy myself shoes every couple of years and wear them to death, and i have found a really nice plain pair of leather chelsea style boots....would you pay it?

Ummmm I have done


I always swore blind I would NEVER pay more than £100 (that never included my riding boots of course!)....then I went into Red or Dead and bought some black boots years ago I don't often spend any where near that but if I like them then yeh

Nope

But then I have never ever spent that much on boots/shoes so definately wouldnt now.

If you really like them though and you think they'll last a few years then go for it.

P.S. Show us the boots you like!! xx

the most ive ever spent is probably about 70, i cant show you cos i cant find them online! thay are just brown leather chelsea style boots with a zip on the inside - ankle length and flat heel. boring really but look really nice quality and will be fine as i only wear trousers (convinced yet? )

Nope i would not pay that much lol, i do love shoes tho lol.

Char

If could afford it I would

oh and also that price is not bad for every day shoes that get lots of wear..Id not pay that for a pair of going out shoes that got worn a few times and probably gave me a blister

I have done and still would. I don't buy loads of shoes and clothes as I'd rather save up and get something that I really want and that will last.

I don't spend loads on Ellie though as she's growing too quickly.

personally nope i wouldn't, max i spend is £50 on a good pair of running shoes, and i wear them to death, but if you have the money and love them...why not

yes I would.

For boots i would as you will wear them loads, I spend about 120 each year on boots, i buy a brown pair of boots one year and then a black pair the next year and so each pair gets 2 years worth of wear which i think is not a waste of money. I have found the cheaper ones dont last as long as i have to replace them more frequently x

I was of that thinking the same until one week I was in *Ethel Austen sp?* its ALWAYS closing down and they do nice vests for Izzy..anyway saw a pair of nice brown boots £25 in the sale though £20 so got em...I've had more people say how nice they are than any other pair of boots and they are still like new and i wear them all the time..so they were a really good buy at £20 and tbh I did think they'd fall apart after 2 months but they proved me wrong!

I agree Lisa, every now and again you get a great bargain but unfortunately it does not happen often enough!

hmm well my 'everyday' shoes are literally every day as i don't go out drinking and stuff the trainers i have just now have lasted 2 years (only briefly replaced by wellies for a month which then exploded), and walk at least 3 miles a day so they have to be sturdy and comfy....

hm maybe when my magical ppi windfall appears i will treat myself, i feel too old for trainers!

No way in hell would I spend that much on shoes but I am tight when it comes to spending money lol

Yeh not often enough! Its always a risk too...at least when you buy good qaulity you can pretty much safely say they will last a good while!
In fact the red or dead boots are still good condition...alhough I dont wear them cos they a bit pointy lol..and i paid quite a lot for my destroy boots, like this http://www.hobsonshoes.co.uk/Product-5047- ... had them a few year but they do need replacing now really

Have have just spent about that on my winter boots. I will wear them until they die. They'll last an awful lot longer than uggs that a lot of people wear and I've had so many people stop me and ask where I got them from. I will live in my boots this winter and I only spent about £30 on 2 pairs of summer shoes so I don't feel too bad.

i wouldnt but then again if i was getting a bit of money that was not expected then yes i probably would.

I dont spend more then 30 quid on shoes, but i live in dcs/vans x

I wouldnt on 1pair to be honest i could buy like 3 diff pairs for that price
