To buy a second pair of my 'happy shoes'

[MyGhastIsFlabbered]

I bought a pair of shoes a few weeks ago and I just love them. WIBU to buy a second pair so that when these inevitably break I have a backup? They weren't expensive so that isn't an issue

Why not?

Buy whatever you like, why do you think that would be unreasonable?

Go for it

Sounds like a great idea

YANBU. It’s an excellent idea.

You would so not BU to do this, I know they've been slated on here before but I found a cracking pair of Fitflop sandals that I bought for holidays, they were the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn so when I got back from hols, I ended up buying another 2 pairs! The first pair is still going strong 4 years later

No, you really shouldn’t ever do this.

Very sensible. In fact, if you wear them everyday, you should alternate the two pairs, so they have time to dry out (sorry, ugh!) and relax between wears, which makes them last longer. This is usually said regarding men's leather shoes, but I don't see why it isn't the case for women's shoes and shoe's made from other materials too.

This is extremely sensible, go for it! Wish I'd done that with a few things over the years. (Moment of silence for my favourite dressing gown )

Do it.

I just paid a ridiculous amount to replace a pair of broken sandals which I bought for a fraction in the sales about 6 years ago. But I love them.

Gosh there’s so many pairs of shoes I look back at in photos and wish I’d bought a second pair. Definitely do it

Do it, doubt you’ll regret it!

Definitely do it. I’m so glad that I did this for my daughter- two pairs in the same size and a pair in the next size up.

Defo do this.

Why is this even a post, want them?
Can afford them?
Just buy the damn things

I always do this

YANBU to buy a second pair but YABVU to not share with us what these shoes look like!

Oh i was going to say the same thing!

The Fitflop Tia. It's the only item of clothing i've every bought four more than one colour of

And yes, my first pair is still going strong after 4 summers of hard wear too. Daily school run, shelping up beaches, rockpooling, everything!

My friends laugh because they know for a special occasion what style shoes I'll be wearing, it's just I have a few similar pairs in different colours. It's THE style that works for my awkward feet and it's not worth deviating from that.

Runners appreciate the joy of a succession of the same trainers that works for them.

Buy them but also tell us what they are

whoops sorry wrong thread

You should if you want to but I've done this before with different items and then ended up not using them any more

Buy a back up pair, I sometimes do this & wish I would have done it with many of my favourite things, as time goes on certain popular brands quality can deteriorate, they start using cheaper/different materials.

I do it all the time. I have three pairs of the same trainers in different colours and am on my sixth pair of Ash high tops - I live in fear they’ll stop making them!
