Paying For Clothing
« on: August 04, 2019, 06:53:38 am »
Do you invest more money in a certain type or category of clothing?  Myself, I invest more in shoes, especially the older I am getting.  I need comfort and support for these old feet.  Podiatrists also state that buying supportive shoes when you are young will help forestall big issues with your feet as you age! I also, sometimes, invest in jackets/coats that I really like and can tell will last me a long time.  How about you?

I spend the most on handbags.  My clothing wardrobe is minimal, but I have a lovely collection of purses.

I like shopping shoes too. I have too much, had trouble finding room to store them.

I invest in dress shoes because I work in a business where I have to wear a suit and dress shoes. I always buy the most comfortable shoes so they won't hurt when I have a long day

Shoes are my big purchase items too. I have had problems with planter fascitis(I know that is spelled wrong) and my arch is dropping. My podiatrist told me to wear only asic kayano. They are pretty expensive compared to some but they are so comfortable.

Shoes are what I invest in as well.  I'm on my feet for a good part of my day so I buy Born shoes.  They are expensive but worth every penny.

I invest in really good quality sneakers. It really pays for me to do this because I like to go running for exercise and I like to walk everywhere I can without driving a car. So I go through this type of shoe very quickly and it is important for them to be both comfy and sturdy.

If a shoe has more comfort to it I will definitely pay more for it since I am on my feet a lot.

I usually try to be thrifty but I could spend a little more if it's something I like it I'll get more use out of like shoes you'll for sure wear a lot and it'll go with all kinds of stuff so you want them to be nice so I wouldn't mind spending a little extra either.  :P

I spend a little extra to make sure I get comfortable and good quality shoes, since they are the foundation for everything else.

sneakers are what i spend the most on. it is also the only shoe i can wear. fortunately, i have small feet so i can buy kids sneakers. however it is very hard to find the right style and size so i usually buy a few pairs at once. :rainbow: :peace: :wave:

I have gotten hand me downs all my life,  now from my daughters.  I very seldom by new clothes.  I don't like second hand shoes so I will invest in a good pair every few years.
