1. Do you like shopping for shoes?
Of course. Shopping for clothes and accessories is obviously every girl's favorite activity whenever we have free time and shoes are no exception. I often buy shoes when they are on sale to save my money.
2. How often do you buy shoes?
I'm not quite sure about this. I suppose I just purchase a pair of shoes when my old ones have worn out. Or like I mentioned earlier, whenever shoes are on discount.
3. What kinds of shoes do you usually buy?
I have a soft spot for ankle boots and sneakers. Ankle boots are stylish and sneakers are very sporty, which match my outfits very much.
4. What kinds of shoes do you usually wear?
As I go to school everyday, I don't think boots would be comfortable for me. So sneakers and flat shoes are my top choices. Other than that, I only wear boots or high heels when attending some fancy events.
5. Do you think the type of shoes someone wears reflects their character?
I agree with this to some extent. For example if a woman usually wears high heels, it indicates that she is girly and modern. For some people like me, we just choose whatever that suits our purposes. So I think it really depends.
