Default how much would you spend on some shoes?

I have fallen in love with a pair of trainers but they are pretty pricey, although I've bought almost no new clothes for 12 months so I feel like if I have the money I should treat myself

generally what would you spend on a pair of shoes?

I would spend money on boots or shoes, trainers not so much as they are not easy to keep clean and only look good when looking new

if you can afford them why not treat yourself, go for it I would say

Yeah what Cherie said really but if you love them and you can afford a treat then why not?

No trainers? What do you wear when you take your dogs for a walk and stuff?

I view footwear as an investment. I’d probably spend Ł200, max

I have never paid over 50 quid fr shoes/trainers. Sometimes I think I should though, as seem to have to replace them an awful lot were sometimes its just better to pay for quality..

I mostly wear boots rather than shoes or trainers, and boots are generally more expensive. When I was a kid I needed the ankle support from boots, and while I don't need them anymore I prefer it.

The only pair of trainers I currently have are Prada, so when I'm having a "slob day" or whatever I can't exactly wear them

The most I paid was Ł180 for a pair of timberlands last year, but I also just bought three pairs of trainers that were between Ł40 & Ł70 each

I swear that much would buy me almost a full new wardrobe

Mind, if you can afford it and its not ging to leave you struggling (assume not, especially if you havent bought clothes in 12 months) go for it. I may just be slightly jealous that others CAN pay such prices for shoes!

Most I've spent was about €90, I have some that were worth more but got them on sale. I have a pair of good boots that I got in 2014, they were €120 but I got them half price, I'll probably take them to get resoled, I wore them so much that the soles are smooth but the structure of the shoes themselves is still perfect. Quality definitely matters, I'd always recommend the best quality you can get out of your personal budget. Nothing wrong with getting them for yourself as a treat though, it's not that much more expensive than a gaming console with a few games and accessories.

If they're just everyday wear I wouldn't spend over 100ish on trainers.
