10 reasons to buy good shoes

  1. Good quality shoes last so much better than cheap ones – you’ll save money in the long run!
  2. They’re more supportive and are designed with your feet in mind, not just to be cheap to produce.
  3. You’ll support craftsmen who make good shoes, not massive factories with bad working conditions.
  4. Because every woman should have a pair of shoes (or boots, or sandals…) that makes her feel like a million bucks.
  5. You’re buying art – not knockoffs!  After all, there’s no substitute for good design.
  6. Because casually mentioning “oh, these are just my Blahniks”, when someone compliments you is better than a shot of espresso :-)
  7. Leather shoes breathe better than synthetic ones.  Your feet will be healthier!
  8. Shoe designers need to pay off their student loans – do you know how expensive a good fashion degree is these days?
  9. They’re an investment in your career – think about it, you’ll be so much more confident next time you go in for an interview or a tough meeting with fabulous shoes on your feet!
  10. Because you’re worth it :-)

So there you go, next time someone asks why you’re spending a month’s rent on a fabulous pair of Christian Louboutin’s you can answer confidently!

    Yes…. but unfortunately we can’t all afford Blahnicks :(

    I got my most comfortable pair of shoes from Payless and the runners-up were from Kmart. Both have received lots of compliments. Maybe I’m just lucky.

    Great post! I have to do quite a bit of walking inside and outside in my job, and it’s really hard to fine comfy AND cute shoes, so I usually end up buying the more expensive shoes for work. That leaves a smaller “cute shoe” budget, but I’m changing my thinking! I’m starting to build up a better shoe wardrobe because it’s an investment!

    A big HELLO!

    Interesting top 10. Not sure I agree with all of it – afterall, you could end up spending $500.00 on a pair of shoes and accidently scuff or break them badly versus a $50.00 pair that looks essential the same. But very cute!
