Payless for me-when they have their sales where you buy 1 pair and get the 2nd for a penny or a dollar. But, for my children, I sometimes go to the shoe store, just to have them measured and get good shoes--my kids were all born with leg problems, and I don't want to get the wrong shoes and create leg trouble again.

I buy shoes at jcpennies & sears I usually get them on clearance cheap my skechers I am wearing now were $20 the kids skechers were $13 for all 3 of my girls I have only bought shoes at a big discount store once & they killed the kids feet. SO now I stick to skechers for all of us shoes are one thing I cant skimp on well guess I do to a point I buy them on clearance but only the ones that work for us. ANd only buy shoes 2 times a year & I do wash them in the wash machine if they get too dirty. But I have never had anyone measure my feet sometimes they will measure the kids & sometimes they know what they are doing sometimes not.

I buy tennis shoes when the last pair wear out (about every 4-5 years) and a pair of sandles just as often. Wehn we moved to the snow zone I invested in a pair of boots, warm lining and tall, low heel. I love them!

That is the terrible thing about living in NC, no cute snow boots needed, and they really are so cute!

I usually go to outlet stores for tennis shoes and for dress shoes I go to Payless.

I like to get my shoes at Payless even though the quality is lower. Especially if I have a coupon, I can buy about 6 pairs of shoes for the same price as 1 at a department store.

Wherever they sell shoes... Thats the simple and most accurate answer. I'm a shoe freak, I love em, the higher the heel the better so wherever I go, and can try them on, I'm inclined to buy what I like. I have quite a shoe collection.

Looks like we're cut from the same cloth! I like high heels as well, and I will buy shoes just about anywhere...Wal-mart, Payless, JC Penney, Dillards, Sears, Shoe Outlet, Shoe Department, Rack Room Shoes, Ross, TJ Maxx, Stein Mart, and other places I can't think of at the moment. However, I do not ever pay full price for a pair of shoes (except at Wal-mart and Payless, since their shoes are cheap anyway). As a matter of fact, one of the Parisian's in my town is closing, and I bought a pair of $70.00 boots for $12.00 and a pair of $80 Bandolinos (sp) brand shoes for $13.00 this weekend. Sweet!

Ooh no, everything I buy is on sale, except my cheapys from wal-mart. But I've spent a pretty penny even on sale shoes at Needless Markup, but I had to have em. Shoes are my weakness.

Since i broke most of the bonesin my right foot and severly injured the tendons and ligaments inthe peace corps in 01, i pay quite a lot for my shoes because of lasting problems. I just bought a new pair for exercising that quite possibly are the most comfortable shoes i have ever owned. And i got great service and the sales man worked with me for over an hour to get a good fit that would work for my isses. I would go back again in an instant.

I know i pay a lot for shoes so i scrimp on other issues and not buy as much in clothing and such.

Amazon for me!

I am now similar to Debtfreeme, though it's a recent switch.

I had always bought cheap shoes, at Ross and Payless and the like. Then, I treated myself to a pair of black low top lace up Doc Martens. They were so incredibly coomfortable, and classic, I loved them. When I told people what a shift it was to buy a pair of shoes for more than $20, a lot of women mentioned Dansko to me. Dansko used to make more shoes for nursing, but they have stylish dress shoes now. The women told me it was an indulgence they didn't regret. I bought a pair and felll in love. It's a dark gray matte leather mary jane. I've had them 2 years and they look almost new, even though I wore them in the snow in Poland for a week. So comfortable. I have bought 2 more pairs. They are about $100 bucks, actually $130 retail, but since I know my size, 38, I can mail order and get for $80. Now two years ago I would have told you "that's crazy!" However, knowing what I know now, I sure wish I had a pair of Dansko's when I worked retail and was on my feet all day. I expect to have these shoes in 10 years.

This is an indulgence I allow myself.

But, I can't on my (modified) minimum wage challenge
