There’s treating yourself and then there’s just being stupid

You pay that much for a pair of shoes and then you’ll never wear them cause you’re terrified of marking or scuffing them

I’ve got some Valentino trainers that were like £420 when I bought them. I do want some Balenciaga Tracks thiugh which are £695. I personally think shoes are worth paying for when they’re designer cos they’re usually really high quality and you get plenty wear from them.

The most I’ve spent on a pair of trainers is £155 but I’d be prepared to pay more depending on how badly I’d want them. I love trainers and I always do my best to keep them clean and well maintained because of how expensive they can be. I even keep them in the boxes still and some of mine have lasted 5+ years and still look brand new :D

I think that paying in the £500+ region is too much tho. One of my friends recently bought a pair of Louboutins that set him back £800 which I would never pay for a pair of trainers.

At the end of the day tho it’s your money and you spend it how you wish. You earned it and if you want to spend whatever amount on a pair of shoes then go ahead. The Balenciagas look great and if it makes you happy then I say go for it :)

If you can use Clearpay or Klarna, that could be quite handy as well. There’s a few trackies I’m gonna treat myself to and I find paying in 3 instalments quite helpful.

if something is seen as too pricey, well, it's not for you. I've spent a fortune on some things and next to nothing on others. It's what makes us individuals

generally what would you spend on a pair of shoes?

Spoiler:

...they’re gorgeous trainers.....I was looking at some of the Balenciaga clothing range also and they’re pretty cool and classy...very Amy, I would say....you’re asking the question so it’s obviously not commonplace for you to generally pay that, Amy...but like so many of us, I imagine that your clothing/shoe spending this year has been quite low as our social lives have been restricted...so lots of money saved and such a time that you’re able to have a treat of something expensive that you maybe couldn’t always have done..so, I think Paris would approve and say yes, do it...


...happy something special buying day.....
