If you had asked me this question 15 years ago I would of gone for spurlge simply because I could afford to! However, fast forward 15 years & now being a Mama of 2 on a budget I'd have to say spend! The R&B ones do look gorgeous though & if I really really wanted them Id do the same as your friend Claire & scrimp & save for them! Ax

interesting & helpful post. Thank you for adding the PS about how they fit/comfort. So often things "look" great but for me it is about how they fit, the comfort and the (in the case of clothes) material. Sometimes there is a reason why some items are more expensive.

It's a difficult one because I have very expensive shoes but also have cheap shoes and although I would normally say go for quality with something classic (I have a pair of Bloch ballet pumps I bought from net a porter years ago still like new) it certainly sounds to me as if these two comparisons could have been made in the same factory just like Jigsaw bags are made in the same place as Prada.

Wow there is hardly no difference and they both look equally comfortable x

I need some nude/pink ballet pumps - off to check them out.
I love a ballet pump in the Spring/Summer and can't wait to start wearing my (large) collection again!

They do look the same, but I'd agree that I have a pair from Next and they were never as comfy as a pair of sling backs I had from R and B that felt like they were made for me!! Sigh..... X

I'm with your friend, Claire. When it comes to shoes, I gladly fork out more. Most of my shoes have lasted 10 years and still going strong. Mind you, I've picked up most of them on sale but there are a few that I'd paid full price for. I'm a ballet flats addict. I used to own 7-8 pairs of Repetto flats. Eeek. I gave a pair to my 9 yr old god-daughter who wears the same shoe size as me. Double Eeeek. And a couple more to my mom.

I would always go for comfort. I would gladly pay twice as much for comfort quality.I find Clarks hard to beat for style and comfort.

Generally I prefer to pay money for shoes (particularly winter ones) as there's nothing worse than having sore feet! Having said that, I paid â‚¬200 for a pair of boots in Dune last October and they're now leaking. Highly unimpressed ... there will be words on the subject with Dune as you can imagine!

I love the detail of the gold disc on the designer pair. I prefer to buy shoes from a retailer specialising in shoes, as that way I find you get better quality. I love Next for clothes and homeware.

2013-03-25T16:51:14.571+00:00

omg that's amazing... I also adore the little disc on the R&B pair and there's something very elegant about the toe shape. I guess for everyday use, it's worth the splurge, but for occasional wear I'd def go for the cheaper ones.

My new motto is invest in the things I use lots, preferably daily!

I've learnt from experience that a high price tag dosen't always guarantee comfort so I'm happy to buy similar styles for less!Love the nude pumps:)

I love the additional detail on the bow on the R&B ones
I <3 designer shoes even though I know I am paying for the name the majority of the time, I therefore limit the amount of designer shoes I purchase but regularly treat myself to bargain 'copy' ones that look very similar to the designers!!
