Dexter23 Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 How much money have I spent the last time on shoes? I think I have spend in the last 4 months about 200 euros but that’s mainly because of 1 pair cost more than 100 euros.
Joak Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 Well, don't think to much about it - if you thiink you make a good deal with spend some euro more, do it! If you think it's waisted money don't do so. In the last four month I've spend 100eur for one new pair - in March I've spend about 500euro for two other pairs - but don't want to miss any of them anyway... Joak
Arctic Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Ouch... sensitive subject... I try to keep my heel expenditure under about 100 eur/$ a month. The last few months that has been ok, since there simply wasn't anything worth buying. Last spring, after the summer sales, that limit was exceeded _slightly_, of course. So, over the last 2 years or how long have I been into this thing... a few thousand €/$ went down the drain. I have a secret database keeping track of these things, but I rather not add it all up What's all the fuss about?
Highluc Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Out of curiosity I started a little recap from 1 jan 2002 till today 28 august 2002. Non European people can just substitute Dollars for Euro because their value is close today. January: 5 pair for 167 Euro (winter sales and UK meet) February: 1 pair for 25 Euro March: 4 pair for 295 Euro (Thigh highs and pumps in Silhouette) April: Bought nothing at all !!! May: Bought nothing at all (still compensating the march expenses) June: 3 pair for 140 Euro (in Portugal) July: 5 pair for 145 Euro (Summer sales) August: 4 pair for 102 Euro (Rotterdam final sales) This brings the total damage for this year to 22 pairs for 874 Euro. To balance this out I should admit I sold 16 pairs for 535 Euro during the same period through my for sale page on my website http://walk.to/highluc The balance therefore is an acceptable additional 6 pair for 339 Euro in 8 months. I think nobody can blame somebody enjoying an addiction for only 43 Euro per month. This sum incidentally is what I used to smoke each month (taxfree mind you). If counting only pure buying it averages about 3 pair for 110 Euro per month which is not that deadly considering the variety of styles and most being real leather Be youself, enjoy any footwear you like and don't care about what others think about it, it's your life, not theirs.

stellah Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Where I live the average boots cost about one 4th or 25 per cent of the average monthly salary. In other words, really nice boots cost about a average salary... well, nowelcome to Eastern Europe _______________ HH forever!
Calv Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 I probably buy on average 2 pairs per month, although I did go mad during the Next sale and got 4 pairs at half price (2 pairs were work loafers) The most I have spent this year was £40 on a pair of Per Una court shoes and the least was £5 on another pair of court shoes. I just put it down to spending on my hobby (or is the hobby the spending of the money?) As it is always cash I spend I see no problem - however this may change when I lose my job at the end of the week . I could quite easily spend more than this on smoking or drinking or Golf or ..... I think I spend more on the model trains, with new locomotives costing about $150 now. Ouch. Do your own thing. Don't be a victim of conformity. Calv
Dexter23 Posted August 28, 2002 Author Posted August 28, 2002 So me spending 200 euros in 4 months is not that extreme. Most of my friends say to me “have you got an other new pair of shoes”
Dr. Shoe Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 I once paid £410 on a pair of knee length 5" pull-on boots from patrick Cox. They are satin with huge red embroidered dragons up the side. Worth every penny, but when you consider that I have owned cars that have cost me less, it does seem somewhat extravagant!

stellah Posted September 2, 2002 Posted September 2, 2002 Doesn't that make you wish you had a friend in the footwear business? Someone who owned a shop and could order your desired size, style and a good price? _______________ HH forever!

Trolldeg Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 Since I started wearing heels, about 1,8 years ago, I've spent about $1300 on shoes.
Dave Lipstick Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 I guess I buy 2-3 pairs a months at £20-£50 per pair. I've been doing this for the last 10 years or so, so I must have spent several thousand. Worth every penny.

JeffB Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 Well, my spending habits on shoes tends to be rather scattershot, depending on if I find something I like or need for a particular outfit. Case in point, three weeks ago, I bought these shoes for $60.00: I'd been looking for a nice pair of navy pumps for a while now, and these Ros Hommerson shoes fit the bill quite nicely. During the course of a year, I'll probably spend somewhere in the neighborhood of $200-$250, and that's IF I can find what i seek in 13 wide, which isn't always easy! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Firefox Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 12 pairs a year or so, it depends on the year. But the pairs I buy are usually in the £20-40 range so it only costs £300 a year. Not much to pay for a fascinating hobby, and since I wear pretty well every pair I buy outside to protect my feet, it's quite a practical one too.
loveheel Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 I buy one to two pairs a month. I look hard for bargains, so I probably spend about $60 a month.
cinthy Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 I once spent 500 euros on manolo blahniks, they were totally worth it, usually i get my boyfriend or admirers (lol) buy my high heels i'm an expensive girl, but i give a lot back in return LOL
Secreto Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 I Try to look for bargains - much as though I love heels, I can't justify in my own mind spending a bomb for a totter in the street (when I'm being brave) or just walking round the house. Anyway if I ever spent more than the wife on shoes, she'd kill me! I buy a pair about every other month, I promised initially I'd keep my collection to less than 6 pairs, but I'm running at about 20 pairs at the minute. I'll put a few pairs on e-bay, whittle the numbers down and with the money from my old ones - I'll buy new!. I guess I spend £30 every other month, The most I've spent is £60 on a pair of Gibson tie shoes and £55 on the ones I wore out in London. On the wife though, I spent £100 on a Versace pair, and they get less wear than mine! The irony When woman get taller, their shoes will fit me better.
