Sample Answers
How often do you buy shoes? I'd say I buy shoes every few months, usually when my old ones wear out or when I need a new pair for a specific occasion. I'm not much of a shoe enthusiast, but I do appreciate a good pair of comfortable shoes. I think it's essential to invest in quality shoes that will last, rather than buying cheap ones that might not be as durable.
Have you ever bought shoes online? Yeah, I have bought shoes online a few times. I think it's convenient and often cheaper than buying in-store. Plus, you can read reviews from other customers, which helps you make a more informed decision. However, I do prefer to try on shoes before buying, so I usually stick to online stores that offer free returns or exchanges.
Do you know anyone who likes to buy a lot of shoes? Actually, my sister is a total shoe fanatic. She loves buying shoes and has a huge collection. She says it's because she likes to express herself through fashion, and shoes are a big part of that. She's always on the lookout for new styles and trends, and she's not afraid to splurge on a pair she really loves.
What's your favorite type of shoe? I'm a big fan of sneakers. I think they're comfortable, versatile, and can be dressed up or down. I love how they come in so many different styles and colors, too. I've got a few pairs that I wear regularly, and I'm always on the lookout for new ones to add to my collection. There's something about the feeling of wearing a fresh new pair of sneakers that just can't be beat.
