All man-made. I don't purchase shoes made from any animal products, so that's a deal-breaker.<br /> 2. Style. I won't wear ugly shoes.<br /> 3. Comfort.<br /> 4. Price. I have spent a lot of money on shoes and boots and I am fine with that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jewels-on-the-feet#post-347383 Tue, 10 May 2011 18:59:22 +0000 Louise 347383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm at the point where the main factor I consider is comfort. Whether I'm getting more picky or my feet are getting fussier but I'm finding it harder to find shoes. As a gal who once notoriously had 75 pairs of shoes I'm down to 15 pairs of footwear (oops 14 I've decided to return a pair of sandals which aren't comfy enough!) I'm not buying any more shoes which have limited wear options I have 3 pairs of heeled party shoes and that's it!! all others need to able to be worn all day. I will quite happily pay the earth (within reason) for comfy shoes x</p> <p>1. Comfort/ how often can they be worn<br /> 2. Style<br /> 3. Price </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jewels-on-the-feet#post-347378 Tue, 10 May 2011 18:55:29 +0000 Mo 347378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. Style<br /> 2. Price<br /> 3. quality<br /> 4. comfort</p> <p>I tend to not care how often I'll wear them but I've never spent more than $75 on any shoes or boots so I can afford not to care lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jewels-on-the-feet#post-347377 Tue, 10 May 2011 18:55:07 +0000 Lynne 347377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shoes are the one thing I feel fairly confident choosing..</p> <p>Quality comes first, they need to be leather and well made.</p> <p>Fit and comfort come second, as I have a wider foot.</p> <p>If they feel great on (and that includes walking around in them), I go look in the mirror and judge how they look, colour and style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jewels-on-the-feet#post-347373 Tue, 10 May 2011 18:46:16 +0000 Ornella 347373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie's <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-shower-outfits-and-investment-shoes-input-welcome-on-both">comment on Michelle's new shoes thread</a> doesn't leave my head and consequently I find myself thinking about what matters to me. I'm trying to clarify the shoe-shopping guidelines similar to the ones described in <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/05/09/review-karen-kanes-easy-on-trend-pieces">this blog post</a> about buying clothes.</p> <p>For me, the quality is a paramount. I believe that the shoes, handbag and hairstyle make or break the outfit, with shoes being the most difficult to get it right - apart from having to satisfy visual requirements, they must also be functional. I must admit that Angie's matra "happy feet, happy me" had elevated the expectations I have from the shoes to the next level for me too. And I thought I was shoe-fussy!</p> <p>I prefer all-leather shoes and avoid if at all possible those with non-leather lining. I do have one pair of patents and one from fabric-like material and those my only exceptions. My dad had always been adamant that good, quality shoes cannot be too expensive (disclaimer: all within common sense) and I never objected I do not own any designer shoes, but I do have a few pairs that were quite pricey and from the trusted brands, which proved to be worth the money paid for them.</p> <p>So:<br /> 1. quality (material and craftmanship)<br /> 2. style<br /> 3. heel height vs. purpose<br /> 4. how many times am I likely to actually wear them<br /> 5. price vs. (1-4)</p> <p>Over to you, what matters to you when you are shopping for shoes? </p>
