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

Definitely go for it! My dad has always said when you find a perfect shoe, if you can afford to buy 2! I regretted not taking that advise when my favourite sandals broke and it took me a year and lots of online orders and returns to find similar again

@Cocomarine

No, you really shouldn’t ever do this.

Why not?

OP, I'd buy two pairs. I'm at an age where my style and foot size won't change.

Do they come in different colours?

Absolutely. I've done this before with shoes and clothes. It's not often I find something I really love (and that fits well) so to me it's money well spent.

@Watchingyou2sleezes

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

Rude

@LookItsMeAgain

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

Yes Op - share the happy shoes!! @MyGhastIsFlabbered

Buy them, I often buy multiples of favourite items for the fear of not being able to buy such an item again.

I have 4 pairs of the same style of shoe, but in different colours so I can rotate them and still have comfy feet 😉

If they are cheap, buy two more!

As I get older I resent the mental load of spending time sourcing good shoes and clothes and often buy more of a good product.

Do it!
I’ve done this before with items of clothing I love

@funktion was that meant for my kitchen thread by chance?

Advice noted

Can we have a photo of Happy Shoes?

Whyever not?

If you considered buying two identical t shirts you wouldn't even ask!!

I have the same pair of shoes in multiple colours,
I love them and they’re comfy. If I could afford it I’d have multiple pairs in the same colour too!

Place marking to find out what the shoes are, obviously

If you are going to wear them until they wear out, perfectly reasonable. It's not fast fashion.

Do it!

Years ago I bought a pair of wide fit Skechers shoes that were bliss on my problem feet. I regret not buying several pairs as other Skechers have not been such a comfortable fit. Still wearing the original pair but they are on their last legs.

DO IT. There is no substitute for the perfect shoe!
I found a pair of perfect summer sandals a couple of years ago. I bought them in two colours and then kept an eye on ebay for (unused) back ups. And bought them in the same two colours too

Yes of course!
My DD gone through 3 identical pairs of biker boots from Ugg
I have same shoes in different colours if I get on well with them

I buy everything I like more than once. I know what I like and I stick to it.

Buy the shoes!

I did this. The second pair weren't as comfortable and gave me blisters!

I have 6 pairs of Chucks in different colours and 4 pairs of a type of high heel shoes (2 pairs identical, 1 pair black, 1 pair cream)

I have 5 pair of Hotter Nirvana shoes in different colours, they are so comfortable and easy to wear. My white pair are on their last legs but hoping they last another year.

Hotter no longer make them in white so can't get another pair.

No, you really shouldn’t ever do this.

Strong agree.

They weren't expensive so that isn't an issue
So what is the issue?

I have got a drawerful of happy jeans. Marks had loads of different embroidered jeans a few years ago.....big bum sizes, plenty of lycra and just wonderful. Of course they never had any more since. I am so glad I overbought, still wear them still love them, still get asked where I got them
