      I buy a pair of Charles and Keith, in 1 week, the rubber drop off the heel.

      I buy a pair from shoebox, after 3 wear, the strap broke

      I buy 1 pair of walking shoes from Chinatown shoeshop and in one week, the sole wanna drop off.

      I buy 2 pairs of Hush puppies. The design is so bad it cuts into the flesh and the shoe is not designed with proper support, causing blister, in 3 wear, I throw away the shoe cause fed up.

      I am waiting to try my Ally brand shoe and see if the quality is better. But this one look aunty.

      Very hard to find working shoes that don't break apart in 1 week.

      ask for exchange from them ? Neutral

      can?

      I find I am constantly buying new shoes. Maybe the manufacturers cut cost, use lousy materials and make people buy more. I was just getting used to the shoe and the damn thing is going to fall apart.

      I like URS and the high heels. But I seldom pass the shop. I think I will make a trip down soon..

      DMK cutting a bit odd, its a bit too loose for me. I heard people tell me VNC don't last.

      I am a size 5.5 to 6. So some of the cutting don't really look good on small feet. And I like a little padding in the soles because I have to walk some distance to the MRT and bus stops.

      Women and shoes have a special relationship... Laughing Laughing

      Have some professionalism and self respect when you have to work in office. If anyone wears slippers to office, it better be that they injured their feet. I frankly will not hire staff who wear slippers to work or interview.

      Do you wear sneakers to office job?
      There is a dress code in my office which requires formal - Jacket, Formal Shoes, Professional shirts, skirts, pants. Jeans is not allowed, No sneakers, no slippers unless the foot is injured. No smart casual, Only formal.

      I really would like to save money if I can wear sneakers.

      yeah. I know. I wanted to convince my husband. He always claim Hush puppies is the best and I show him the truth. I showed him this morning my shoe heels to let him see that quality of C&K because he also think that C&K must be good based on the shop display.

      Shoebox is OK depending on type of shoe selected.

      last time i used to buy charles & keith oso.. but no longer.. i cant wear the shoes for too long, my feet will be very tired & painful..

      if u dun mind the price, nine west is more durable.

      but currently, i m wearing shoes from far east like sole passion, maplebox... & oso m)phosis for slip-in flat cos the cutting is slimmer & suit me. sole passion not bad, quite comfortable for shopping, my feet dont feel tat bad. but of cos it depend on the cutting of the shoes too.

      pazzion seem to be not bad too. maybe i will try someday.
