Surely she couldn't spend £30,000 on shoes - even with carte blanche! Well, when I can eventually afford it, I'd really like a Ferrari 348 tb/GTB. Second choice would be a TS - but I'd feel a little better with a hard roof. I've been in a serious car crash before (hit by a drunk) and feel more secure (and enjoy myself more) in cars that have solid roofs. Very nice!! All the best, Andrew.
Having witnessed first hand the amount a woman can spend on one pair of shoes; £30,000 could disappear without breaking into triple figures.
Oh dear. The most I've ever spent on shoes was £200 for a pair of waterproof hiking boots that have lasted me 12 years (and counting - even though the soles are starting to show some wear). For about 4 years I literally wore them almost every single day - just because they were comfortable and durable. I'd say I've definitely got my money's worth out of these. I would buy another pair next when these eventually give up the ghost, but the brand doesn't exist any more... maybe because nobody needed to buy another pair. Speaking of shoes... I'm currently trying to find places to buy dress shoes for my upcoming wedding - and having some trouble. I'd like a very simple cut with rounded toes (not pointy or squared), and I'm not a fan of patent leather because it just looks 'plastic' to me. Any ideas? Most of the shops I find are stocking rather chunky-looking soles or the shoes have very long pointy toes. It seems a simple shoe is rather difficult to find. All the best, Andrew.
Same here, the two pairs of shoes I've bought in the £150ish range have lasted a long time, so money well spent. (Currently 12 years for a pair of Timberland boots and 6 years for a pair of RM Williams boots.) Try Clarks; they do a higher end range, can't remember the name, but sell for around £100. They seem to be a more classic design.
