Is £485 to much for (beautiful) shoes?

You have got to be joking right...fair enough if they looked nice but £485 for some dolly shoes? WTF I could buy a similar pair for less than a fiver. In all honesty I wouldn't even buy them if they were £5. They must be gold plated or something to be that price.

A student loan isn't free money to spend as you will, you know - the point is to spend it on accommodation and food, not shoes!!

There's no rule what you can spend it on! Most of mine is in savings :erm:

Although yes, those shoes are a ridiculous price.

Not for those shoes. Things like boots and special heels yes, but those look far too ordinary to be so expensive

They look like Granny slippers...
The most I've ever spent on shoes is £30. Honestly. And they're HOT.

Yes.

£485 is an insane amount to spend on shoes, esspecially boring cat pumps.

You could go on a weeks holiday for that money, feed a hungry child for a year, or keep it to pay off your student loan.

You do realise your student loan is what it says it is - a loan. Meaning you have to pay it back. It's not designed to be used like this.

£485 on a pair of shoes is ridiculous. The only reason you're buying them is probably because you want to show them off to your friends/feel more accepted by your friendship group because you're insecure.

I have no sympathy for people who spend money on ridiculous stuff like this, then complain somewhere down the line "waaaaaah I don't have any money :cry:

"

I do apologise, let me clarify, it's a grant and it's not my sole source of income.

'The only reason you're buying them is probably because you want to show them off to your friends/feel more accepted by your friendship group because you're insecure.'

^I find what you say hilarious, you spoke from personal experience I'm sure.
No the reason why I considered buying them, was because I like them.

If I wouldn't have the money after buying these then I obviously wouldn't consider buying them!

I doubt id chose to buy those even if it was a fiver! Difference of taste..

But if it your own hard earnt money, do as you please. I personally definitely would not but if you've slaved away to earn that £485, its your right how you spend it - OH wait, its not your money, its MINE* - in the form of your loan!

(* and every taxpayers')

Are you insane woman !?!

I can see you having this conversation with your wife in a few years. Welcome to the world lad lol Women are irrational (i.e. do not try logic like " you could buy x number of these shoes from shop y")...no point arguing anyway, any bargaining with women and you will lose or they will blackmail you. Just make sure you get something out of it when you concede :tongue:

Far too much.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of designer labels, the latest trends and all that malarkey.

I do however adore these shoes:

I can afford it (thanks to student loan) but I don't know if I can justify spending that type of money when that could buy 50 shoeless homeless people a pair of shoes and so on.

I would not buy from a company that thinks 10mm=0.5 inches, they probably won't fit very well.
