t-strap lover Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Sometimes when I find a good price on a pair of shoes I sometimes will purchase another pair exactly like them. Maybe in a differant color. I have also purchased the same style when they have gone on sale. This has happened at Target, Payless, and sexyshoes. I was lucky enough to get several pairs of the same shoe, 8 pairs, 4 differant colors at Target. It's not that I needed that many but I couldn't turn down the sale price. does anyone else buy this way? Maybe not that many but 2 pairs of the same type of shoe's. Just wondering. t-straps are my favorite style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSalto Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hi T-strap Sometimes I buy 2 pairs of the same model, in different colors. But I only do that when prices are low, as in sales. Last 2 months I've donte it twice: 2 pairs of a futuristic silver sandals, one pair with silver straps and second pair with yellow, blue and fucsia straps. 2 pairs of cristal clear plataforms, one pair with silver/clear straps and second pair with black/clear straps. DeSalto No shoe is better than a sexy pair of stilettos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onyourtoes Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I have: * 3 pairs of black Mary Jane style with 3 1/2 inch block heels. They are identical. I bought the originals at Payless and they became favorites, worn everywhere. Worried about them eventually wearing out, I eventually bought 2 more pairs on eBay. All 3 pairs are going strong. * 4 pairs of Saucony Jazz originals. Blue, Brown, Red, and a spare pair of red because they're my favorites and my trademark among friends. * 2 pairs of Crocs Cayman, Turquoise, and of course Red which is somehow not quite as ugly. * 3 pairs of Japanese geta clogs in unfinished wood with black straps, though from different makers with minor variations that nobody but a shoe nut would notice. There are others which most people would think are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roniheels Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 T-strap... The more I think about this the more I would be inclined to say that it really depends on what I see, the mood I'm in, and my finances at the time. I went to a store one time just to buy a pair of pumps and I ended up buy a pair of thighboots, just because I liked the way they looked on me and how they felt on my feet and legs, I'd had no intention of buying those when I walked into the store. Other times I saw the one pair I wanted, saw another pair that looked nice, but decided to wait and not buy them on impulse. The more I think about it, the pair I almost bought on impulse would not have matched much of the clothing I wear. I guess it just depends on the day.

HappyFeat Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Actually, I had never done this until recently. Least year, I bought a killer pair of black Nine West pumps. Recently while looking at a clearance rack, I found the same pair in Wine patent, and pounced on the immediately. Then a saw the black on the rack as well and bought a second pair of those. In the end the two pair I just bought cost less than the first pair I paid full retail for last year. Style is built from the ground up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roz Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I have quite a few duplicate pairs, but always in different colours. I normally buy the first colour, and if I like the shoe and style, I would buy another. I don't think I have ever bought two of the same shoe at the same time. Looking through my collection, I've probably got about 10 pairs of shoes that are duplicated, some I have as many as 3 colours, and I have my Vanity-420s in about 4 or 5 colours! But they're great shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-strap lover Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Roniheels, I'm like you on the finance part. Thats why I buy the 2nd or 3rd pair of the same shoe if they are a bargan. one time at target I was able to get 7 pairs of a t-strap wedge for an average price of 10.00 dollars a pair. regular price was 30.00 dollars each.plus they were leather. I'm also very picky about the style of shoe I buy. We all have our on taste in the style we like. t-straps are my favorite style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
