It really depends on the shoes and the person, but we have found that we spend less money overall when we buy more expensive shoes. (Ex. If a $100 pair of shoes lasts 6 years, that’s under $17 per year. I know many people who will buy a $25 pair of shoes every few months because they don’t last. Even if they do last a whole year, mine still have a lower “per year” cost.)
Most of our shoes are around $100. I do try to know our sizes in certain shoes so I can purchase them on sale when I see them. So I might buy $120 shoes for $70 or $150 shoes for under $100.
My most expensive are these Pikolinos. They were $220, but my husband went back the next day and got them for $170ish
