Absolutely.

I am on my feet for almost all of my 12 hour shift, so a good pair of shoes is worth every penny!

@kristina1   Yes, I agree.

Yes, but I prefer getting them on sale.   

A while back I bought a beautiful pair of Cole Haan shoes costing $160 for $38 at Nordstrom Rack.   These sales are the sweetest victories ....

@aurora625   Yes I have paid $100 or more for a pair of shoes.  Sometimes for a special occasion--as the mother of the bride or groom--and other times to get a very comfortable shoe.

I have a very narrow foot and wear a 7 and 1/2 shoe--4A toe, 5A heel and a have a very high arch so when I find a shoe that really fits I buy it, and sometimes multiples of it, since manufacturers so often, and quickly, discontinue styles.

@aurora625 It's not uncommon for me but I don't buy lots of shoes and they aren't a thing with me. 

I have paid over $100 for Mephisto or Ecco sandals and worn them for years; more for a pair of fancy sandals on vacation--quit buying junk and bought something nice.

I mostly wear Talbots mocs and buy them on sale.  Haven't bought dress shoes in years.

Yes I would.  I love shoes and most of mine are in the $80 to $125 range  I have bought a very few over the $150 mark for the quality and comfort and good looks.

I always have bought well made good shoes because I feel the construction of the shoe is important to my foot health and comfort.  Cheaply constructed shoes are not good for our feet.  

Of course I am always on the lookout for "good well made" shoes that are on sale as I would rather pay less than the original price if possible.

Yes

[Mombo1]

@aurora625   I would for a good pair of leather boots.

These kind of questions are a bit silly, because obviously your financial decisions depend upon your age, income, wealth, values, and monetary priorities. 

Would I buy a used pair of shoes for a dollar?  Absolutely not.

Would I buy a new pair for over $100.00?  Yes, I would and I have.

Would I buy a new pair of shoes for over $1000.00?  No, although I have drooled over a few.

In addition, special occasions like weddings may merit a shoe splurge, or unhealthy feet may require costly medical shoes.

Should you buy the shoes you are thinking about?  Only you can decide!

Everything that she said....yes I have but of course it all depends on circumstances, needs, wants, etc.  Bottom line for me is quality, comfort & style all which cost.
