What shoes should I get?

So I’ve been saving up for a really good pair of shoes. I really want Louboutin trainers (sneakers) but I get the sense that it’s too “look at me”. Would I be better off with French traditionals like dior and LV as well as Italian prada?

Your money, spend it on what you want. So what if people look at you. (You’re not getting them because of their great reputation for athletics.) Didn’t even know they made these.
I have a pair, only wore a handful of times for fear of messing them up.

@dreamsicle they aren’t for running, I just enjoy buying one branded good rather than 5 unbranded ones. The quality lasts forever and I know it’s made without cruelty to workers or the materials. The cows will be completely used, meat and even the bones are used in plates.

@Sadwithasmile Right and it’s your money so spend as you wish. I have a ton of boots or I’d invest in a pair of their black leather boots.

@dreamsicle but the thing is I enjoy wearing brands but are Louboutins too in your face?

@Sadwithasmile For who? Someone is going to think so but who cares? Someone else won’t even know they’re Louboutins. If you want to $800 on a pair of shoes do it. Just don’t do it based on if it’s going to offend or impress someone else.

@dreamsicle everyone knows Louboutins, it’s overhyped by the music industry which is why I find it too common. Also I don’t like offending people, I also fear getting mugged.
