Shoes

PART 1

1. Do you like shoes?
Band 7
Yes, I do like shoes. I think the right pair of shoes can really complete an outfit and make you feel confident. I usually go for comfortable ones, like sneakers, since I walk a lot during the day. But I also enjoy wearing something stylish for special occasions.

Band 8
Yes, I really like shoes, especially ones that are both comfortable and fashionable. I believe shoes say a lot about a person’s style and even their personality. Most of the time, I wear sneakers because they’re practical for walking and go well with almost anything. However, I also have a few formal pairs for events or special occasions. I enjoy browsing shoe stores and trying on different styles, even if I don’t buy something every time. Overall, shoes are an important part of my wardrobe and daily life.

2. What kind of shoes do you usually wear?

Band 7
I usually wear sneakers because they’re comfortable and easy to walk in. They go well with most of my outfits and are perfect for daily use. If I’m going to a formal event, I switch to dress shoes. But for everyday life, sneakers are my go-to.

Band 8
Most of the time, I wear sneakers because they’re practical, stylish, and very comfortable for walking or commuting. They match almost everything I wear, so I don’t have to think too much when getting dressed. I also wear sandals in the summer, especially when it’s really hot outside. For formal occasions or job interviews, I have a pair of polished leather shoes. I try to choose footwear that suits both the weather and the activity I’m doing. Comfort is my top priority, but I also pay attention to how the shoes look.

3. How often do you buy new shoes?
Band 7
I don’t buy new shoes very often—maybe once or twice a year. I usually wait until my old ones are worn out or if I need a pair for a specific occasion. I prefer buying good-quality shoes that last longer. That way, I don’t have to replace them too frequently.

Band 8
I usually buy new shoes around twice a year, depending on my needs and the condition of the ones I already have. If my shoes start to feel uncomfortable or look too worn out, I start looking for a new pair. I’m not someone who follows fashion trends, so I don’t shop just for style. I focus more on comfort, durability, and whether they suit my lifestyle. Sometimes I buy shoes for a specific purpose, like sports or travel. But in general, I try not to buy more than I actually need.

4. Do you prefer buying shoes online or in stores?
Band 7
I prefer buying shoes in stores because I can try them on and check if they’re comfortable. It’s easier to see the size, fit, and material in person. Sometimes I browse online to compare prices or styles, but I usually make the final purchase in a store. That way, I avoid the hassle of returns.

Band 8
I usually prefer buying shoes in physical stores because I like to try them on and make sure they fit properly. Comfort is really important to me, and sometimes sizes can vary depending on the brand. Shopping in person also lets me feel the material and check the quality before buying. That said, I do browse online for ideas or discounts, especially if I already know my size in a particular brand. Online shopping is convenient, but I’v
e had a few bad experiences with sizing and returns. So overall, I feel more confident buying shoes in-store.
