Cheap Shoes

[gazzab]

Why do people persist in buying cheap shoes. I look around the office and really......

Bored?

[gazzab]

Yes

[shnozz]

nothing worse I agree. Particularly at a black tie event when someone has gone to the trouble of hiring/buying a dinner suit only to ruin it by wearing plastic shoes.

How cheap is cheap?

Are we talking £3.99 slip-ons from Primark?

Me too. And the only thing behind me is the wall with a whiteboard on it so no chance of passers by seeing my screen.

Anyway, cheap shoes? Why? Because people are skint that why, all the money goes on taxes and interest on mortgages.

I think I only have one pair of shoes that are more expensive than £70 and they aren't even shoes (my comfy Ted Baker trainers ) saying that I generally buy childrens shoes so they are cheaper still.

That is fine. It is the quality that counts!
Men in cheap shoes is kinda the way of the world but women in cheap shoes is much worse!

oh you should try working in an estate agents, they all wear bloody awful shoes

if they're dressing up they'll wear the ben shermans with the shiny buckle as opposed to the pound shop versions...

personally I think cheap shoes are a false economy. I spend sizeable wedge on my shoes and with an occasional heel and sole replacement and swapping between pairs they last me a few years and look good at the same time

[greatgranny]

I bought some cheap shoes (£10!) just for work. (I cycle/run to work so have a offfice pair of shoes and a nice 'home' pair of shoes). Big mistake, they seemed comfy, looked ok but now are just hurting the sole of my feet. If you step on a coin i can tell you if its heads or tails. Going to Debs when I get paid to buy some decent shoes.

Didn't the old saying go "it's always worth spending money on your bed and your shoes. If you're not in one, you're in the other", or something along those lines.
