i have only 6-7 pair of shoes including a Nike trainer. as a officer of an institution i have to wear always formal shoes. though i have to wear shoes for long time from 8.00 am to 8.00 pm i always prefer to wear soft and comfortable shoes. i dont give preference to the design or band. some persons prefer the durability of shoes. in our country Bata is good for their product. they have a huge stores through out the country and people from the villages or urvan area always prefer to but their product. but i use appex becasue their product is very comfortable and soft. what is your preference when you go to but your shoes?

I have many pair of shoes too. I would use shoes to match on what I am wearing. If I need to go out for long hours, I will choose the most comfortable shoes to wear. If I need to attend some dinner or functions, I will wear high heels even though it is not comfortable at all. We have Bata shop here. There are still many people love Bata. But for me, I don't particular to choose what brand to go. I will choose to types of shoes as I said just now : 1) go for design that I like. 2) Go for comfortable and material.

Hi there! The first thing that I notice in buying shoes is the design. When I spot a pair I like I try it on and walk on it for awhile checking its comfort. If my feet feels uneasy no matter how I like the design I wouldn't buy it. I have learned my lesson buying shoes that doesn't feel good on my feet. My feet got sore every time I use the shoes and I can't walk properly wearing it. Yes, many admires the shoes and I like it when people notices how nice my shoes are but I get embarrassed if I can't walk properly with it. There are brands that always feels comfortable on my feet such as Florshime and HushPuppies. They're very comfortable whatever design I choose. So those brands are always my first choice. Ciao!

Hi ivan, actually I have to wear supports in my shoes, I have bad arches that hurt whenever I walk. I have Bata sandles which have raised insoles, so are comfortable.

I prefer the design most of all. I do not have to wear shoes very often anyway since I work at home. They do have to be somewhat comfortable for me to wear them though but they have to look good.

I wear a pair of Ariat boots pretty much anytime I need to wear shoes. They're heck on you for the first couple times you wear them, but then they break in and they're the most amazing boots. I also really love a well-worn pair of Doc Martens. My current pair are so soft, they're to die for. Recently, though, I had myself fitted for a pair of hand-made Catskill Mountain moccasins. They're absolutely beautiful and I can't wait for them to arrive in December!

I don't have many pairs of shoes but there is a brand that I will always tend to go for and that is Nike! I love these trainers and I find them very comfortable. I don't wear shoes and I haven't worn shoes for a very long time now, I'm not sure that they are all that good for the feet really. I've had my pair of Nike trainers for quite a few years now so they really do last! They cost me quite a bit too but I'm very satisfied overall with the product. Andrew

I am on my feet the majority of the day, so when I buy shoes, I definately go for comfort over style. I generally wear tennis shoes, but since the weather has been hot, I have been wearing my sandals. I hardly ever dress up, my job does not require it at all since I work for myself. Once in a great while, I am talking once a year or less, I dress up and when Id o, I will pull out my dress shoes ffrom the back of my closet.

I have more than 30 pair of shoes, I think more than that actually. Anyway, when I buy shoes, what I concern is first the pirce and the comfortabily, second, if it looks good and cute, third, does it match the clothes that I already have at home so I don't need to buy new clothes to match it. I just bought a new pair shoes today, so happy ^_^

you know what? maybe i'm weird because i prefer design rather than comfort. but so far i found no problem with the comfort of the shoes i bought out of its design. i have been practicing to buy shoes in this way for almost 20 years already. LOL!

I love wearing Nikes. They are comforable, and looks pretty nice. I like to have design on my shoes because it expresses me in a way like the way you dress expresses yourself. I'm a basketball player, and I usually wear the Kobe's shoes, like the HyperDunks, or Kobe 4's (Both were presents! Too much money to buy those haha) They're both stylish and very comforable, especially the lightness of the shoes.

I most definately go for shoes with comfort rather than design or style. I am not the type of person who can afford to spend a lot of money on high-class attire like some people.

I prefer comfort since I'm working in the office and sometimes spends more than twelve hours wearing a shoes. I have only 4 pairs of shoes. I do not pay much attention to the design but the quality and comfortness of it.

I prefer comfortable shoes. In fact, if they are not comfortable, I don't wear them. I try shoes on before I buy them. I really like sandals. In the winter, I do have to wear shoes to protect my feet so they better be comfy.

Since I live at the beach all that I wear is flip flops. I have one pair of tennis shoes and one pair of heels and I haven't worn either of them in a couple of years. Definitely for me it is comfort first! I do love my flip flops!

My job requires lots of walking and people would notice everything that you wear, including your shoes so I would prefer both comfort and design. I can go around walking wearing comfortable but ugly pair of shoes and so is otherwise. I don't mind the brand and price as long as I feel good wearing it. Durability is another point but it's hard to find a good pair of shoes that can last for a long time.
