Every woman dreams of owning some fabulous designer shoes that make everyone around them go weak at the knees, but most women just can't justify spending so much money on one pair of shoes that they'll probably only wear once when they could refresh their entire footwear wardrobe for the same price.
Designer shoes are the utmost in splurging, attention to detail is paid to every inch of the shoe from the shape and sole to heel and little touches, which is what makes designer shoes so aspirational to women all over the world.
The idea of owning a wardrobe bursting with designer shoes maybe a far fetched one for most women, but there are actually some instances where buying designer instead of cheaper high street versions maybe be better value for money.
The fashion statement
If you love to turn heads and are a real fashionista then buying a pair of designer shoes with a definite style will make sense if they're something you're likely to wear quite regularly. Of course, they're most likely to be in line with a latest trend, so try and choose a pair that are also easy to wear with other items and with other trends, for example, polka dots, stripes, florals, pastels or vibrant shades will work well now and in the future.
The wardrobe staple
Probably one of the best reasons to choose designer over high street, the wardrobe staple is that pair of shoes that every woman needs to own and that you can always rely on. Quality, versatility and comfort are most important with this buy, and that's why designer shoes for the wardrobe staple are often better value than going high street. The perfect example is probably a pair of simple nude or black peep toe court shoes that are so easy to team with lots of outfits and can be worn smart for the office, elegant for a special occasion or glammed up for a night on the town. As this is a fashion investment it's important that you really take time to consider your purchase because these shoes will see you through so many seasons.
The work shoes
You'll be wearing them all day long throughout the week, so why not spend just a little more on a pair of designer shoes since you'll get so much wear out of them? You're best going for a black pair with a versatile shape, perhaps a court shoe or a slingback, that way they'll go with trousers and skirts.
The wedding shoes
It's your special day so surely that's the one time when all the budgeting rules go out the window and you're allowed to treat yourself to that pair of shoes you've had your eye on ever since you set a date. And what's more is that as you'll be on your feet all day and night you'll want a pair of good quality and comfortable shoes that fit well but still look fabulous. Don't worry about splurging here; this is the perfect opportunity to buy designer shoes without feeling guilty.
Bearing this in mind, it's important to remember that choosing designer shoes in most of these instances are more of a wardrobe investment rather than a splurge or treat, so remember that when you're buying to make sure you get the best value for money.
