I was willing to spend around $100 for my wedding shows but found them on sale for $49 so I guess thats always gonna be my shoe budget </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins/page/2#post-271892 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 08:54:20 +0000 Rubies 271892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't own a pair but always look longingly at them when I pass by someone wearing them or if I see them in a window. But, it's something I would never buy for myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins/page/2#post-271864 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 07:25:55 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 271864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe one day but then again I'd rather use the money elsewhere. I cheap when it comes to buying shoes. Because I realized I wear flats majority of the time. (easier when a mom) maybe when the kids are older ill wear heels again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins/page/2#post-271858 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 06:46:41 +0000 hilsy85 271858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted a pair for our wedding, but the heels were so high that I figured there was no way I would ever be able to wear them for more than a few hours. So I splurged on a pair of Manolos instead--super comfy! I now have 3 pairs, and if they don't fit post baby, I will cry, and then take them the shoe repair store to be stretched! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins/page/2#post-271855 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 06:28:56 +0000 Mrs D 271855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont own any yet but I would love to and plan to buy a pair with my bonus next year. I have 3 classic splurge items that I had wanted to buy before we TTC: classic black patent louboutins, a LV purse and a burberry trench coat. These would by far be the most expensive items in my wardrobe but they are also timeless pieces. I think the rain coat will get the ax since we bumped our timeline up.</p> <p>So I guess I agree on both fronts. I would spend the money now but only on a timeless piece (nothing too trendy that may go out) but also I know when I have LO's I wont spend the money which is why I want to do it now!</p> <p>My usual limit on shoes is $100 (unless they are tall boots or something which generally costs more just because of more material) an my normal purses are coach from the outlets so $200-300. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins/page/2#post-271833 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 03:01:40 +0000 looch 271833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want a pair, but not sure when I'll get them or what style. I would like something I can use for lots of occasions, so either a pair of nude or black patent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271790 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 22:49:07 +0000 plantains 271790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>have a pair of Loubs,but I really prefer Jimmy Choos or Manolos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271777 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 22:10:43 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 271777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>II don't have any! I only spend 100 to 200 on each pair of shoes. Maybe 250 or so for boots that will last forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271753 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 21:36:14 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 271753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had the money for such fancy shoes, but even if I did, I don't know that I'd be able to pull the trigger....my mom trained me in her cheap ways way too well... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271751 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 21:34:08 +0000 betsyboop 271751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I own 3 pairs of Loubs, but they are classic styles and I have had them for years and they are my go-to wedding/special occasion shoes. I generally tend to spend a fair amount on shoes but I don't own as many pairs as most girls. I go for quality over quantity. </p> <p>Also, I paid well under $1K for each pair of Louboutin's...have prices gone up?! I haven't been shopping for heels since pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271570 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 17:31:40 +0000 Mrs. Pen 271570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love some but I couldn't spend the money on them unless I was a millionaire, and even if I was idk if I would!! </p> <p>there are other brands that are just as high quality for less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271502 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 16:32:33 +0000 spaniellove 271502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetchic: Oh that is painful! Have you tried breaking them in a bit? Like wearing them around with thick socks on, and leaving them stuffed with socks? Obviously that won't change the shape drastically but... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271492 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 16:25:12 +0000 Meridian 271492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: they are CL Bruges. And I was wrong, they are 4.5 inches, not 3... No wonder they aren't confortable, haha! Actually, the painful part is that I have wide feet, and the front pinch my toes, despite the lovely almond toe...</p> <p><a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/Christian-Louboutin-Bruges-Leather-Platform-Pump-Black-Pumps/prod144360055/" rel="nofollow">http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/Christian-Louboutin-Bruges-Leather-Platform-Pump-Black-Pumps/prod144360055/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271434 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 15:42:22 +0000 spaniellove 271434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetchic: Just curious, which style was it that you found uncomfortable? They seem to be all over the place in terms of comfort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271426 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 15:26:29 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 271426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i could never justify a purchase like that, especially since i don't wear heels all that much anyway. i like wearing flats and i'm all about comfort. but i also don't like going low low end on shoes either unless they're good quality that just happened to be on sale or found at an outlet. that's because i've done that in the past, and those shoes only ended up being worn only 1-2 times and tore up my feet. i tend to stay within the $80-200 range. in my mind i divide up the cost with how many times i wear the shoe, sooo if i wear the shoe daily but it cost $200 it's totally a steal in my book! versus a $20 pair that was worn once. that's always how i justify my spending for most things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271403 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 14:14:10 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 271403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm "thrifty".... so no, I couldn't spend that on shoes. The most I've spent is $150 on a pair of running shoes because I do boot camps and/or run 15-20 miles per week and I wanted to make sure I had the right support. If I'm going to wear heels that I could break my ankle in, I'd rather not spend more than $50 :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271399 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 14:01:07 +0000 Meridian 271399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I received Loubs as a gift last year from friends!! (I helped plan and coordinate their wedding) They are black platform 3" pumps, and even though not very high and fairly "practical", they are SUPER UNcomfortable. I've worn them 2 or 3x and only when I know I don't have to walk/stand long. </p> <p>I love that I finally have a pair of Loubs which I have always lusted after, but sad that they are so painful, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271393 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 13:56:55 +0000 blackbird 271393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't own a pair of Loubs, but I have a pair of Fryes that were over $500. The thing about having nice things is that I own less of them. So I may only have a few purses, but they are very nice ones. Same for shoes. I own two pairs of boots, period. I don't wear heels, but after having numerous toe surgeries, I don't mind spending money on comfy and high quality shoes. Some people have that kind of money to spend, no biggie </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271373 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 13:29:16 +0000 MamaMoose 271373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really not a shoe person. So spending this much money on shoes would never be worth it to me. Now my handbags are a different story.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271370 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 13:20:47 +0000 BSB 271370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I don't own any. I don't wear high heels very often and the ones I do have are in the $25-50 range that I bought from DSW or Nordstrom Rack. </p> <p>I don't think I'll ever afford them unless I won the lottery and had that money to spend.</p> <p>I do think some pairs are really cute when I see them on celebrities.</p> <p>I also have to add that in my line of work, I don't have to dress up. Since I work in a lab, it's causal clothes for me. So sneakers are my everyday shoe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271365 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 13:12:55 +0000 Mrs.B 271365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way could I justify that. I'm not a shoe person anyways. My shoe collection is pretty lame just a few pairs of black heels, comfy sandals, and my running shoes. I do however like a nice handbag but I have a limit of $300 to spend on them. I've found some good deals on Ebay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271362 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 13:09:46 +0000 LuLu Mom 271362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love a pair but unfortunately I don't see it happening unless we win the lottery! Haha DH doesn't justify me spends more than 200 on shoes, and those are boots I wear for years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271350 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 13:00:02 +0000 pastemoo 271350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but next time we have fun money--I am saving for a pair of Jimmy Choos. They are so COMFORTABLE and SEXY. I would wear heels so much more often. :D<br /> Louboutins are generally not my style though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271345 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 12:52:58 +0000 yoursilverlining 271345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shoes don't really do anything for me, so I certainly can't justify an expense like that for the color of a sole. I do have some expensive shoes (boots and pumps), but they are shoes I'll keep for years, and wear often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271343 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 12:49:34 +0000 mediagirl 271343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hardly ever wear heels. The ones I do wear are el cheapo. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271339 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 12:40:55 +0000 Andrea 271339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought mine during the sales so they are not $1,000+ but they are still pricey. I enjoyed wearing them pre-kids but I don't wear heels that high anymore. I still buy designer hand bags though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271324 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 12:12:57 +0000 JerricaBenton 271324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any Louboutins but I have a good amount of designer shoes. I love shopping sample sales and end of season sales though. I may have paid full price once or twice if that. At this point in my life I wouldn't spend $1000 or more. I have a couple of very expensive bags but they were gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271319 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 12:06:52 +0000 BananaPancakes 271319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I own a pair of black patent Louboutains. My husband bought them for me for valentines one year. Picked them out himself. I always use the same black pumps for every dressy occasion, and he thought I should have a really nice pair. I would never spend that kind of money on myself, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/louboutins#post-271311 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 11:59:50 +0000 Trailmix 271311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a pair of Jimmy Choos but I bought them on consignment for $80 (and last weekend my stupid-ass dog ate one of them, waaaah!) but that or sample sale are the only reasons I own and sort of luxury clothing, no way could I or would I spend the kind of cash that those types of shoes cost at full price.... </p>
