IELTS Speaking Part 1 Topic Shoes Questions and Answers
How frequently do you buy shoes?
I have never been much of a shoe enthusiast. Since I like to stay indoors, the pairs of shoes I own are not used regularly. I feel the need to buy a new pair of shoes once a year or sometimes even two years.
Where do you usually buy shoes?
Ever since I was a kid, I have always preferred buying shoes from this store called Royal Footwear. During my childhood, my father used to take me to this store for shoe shopping. Royal Footwear is known for its high-quality leather shoes and other footwear. Recently, I have started browsing and purchasing shoes from online stores too.
What is your favourite type of shoes?
The kind of shoes that I prefer depends on the occasion. For events like parties or wedding ceremonies, I prefer a pair of leather shoes. If I am just going out to buy groceries or for a stroll, I prefer T-bar sandals. In general, I like to wear comfortable shoes, so I prefer sandals or loose- fitting sneakers.
Why do some people have too many shoes?
Shoes, like any other form of apparel, are a fashion statement. Some people tend to wear different styles of shoes for different occasions. For some people, shoes tend to be a type of collectable that brings them joy. Some people prefer wearing fresh pairs of shoes even if the old pairs are not worn out, leading them to buy more shoes than they need.
Have you ever bought shoes online?
No, I have never bought a pair of shoes online. I prefer to try out a pair of shoes before making a purchase decision. Since online shopping platforms do not have the trial option, it is perplexing to make a decision based on mere images. I have heard instances where friends of mine had purchased a pair of shoes that looked attractive on the online shopping website, but when they received the product, it didn’t match their expectations.
Do you like shoes?
Yes, of course! I’m quite a girly girl (very feminine), so I’ve always been into shoes since I was a little girl. My mother used to catch me trying on her high heels in her closet! Moreover, I’m a fashionista (a person who likes fashion) so I feel that shoes really tie the whole outfit together.
How often do you buy shoes?
Mm I would say every couple months. I’m trying to save up for a new car right now, so I don’t like to spend too much unnecessary money. With this said, I usually buy a new pair at the start of every season.
Do you like to wear shoes that are comfortable or good looking?
Definitely good looking, hopefully comfortable too! I care much more about the appearance and if they complement my outfit. However, I try to buy nicer brands so that more comfortable should be expected. Moreover, many comfortable shoes are often unattractive, like Crocs for example. IELTS XPRESS
What is your favorite type of shoes?
High heels 100%! I feel that they really tie the whole outfit together. Moreover, I feel feminine when I wear them, not to mention that they accentuate my legs. I have spent several years getting used to them so I can now strut my stuff (walk confidently) in heels everywhere I go!
Why do some people have too many shoes?
Well, there could be various reasons. I think one is that perhaps they see shoes on sale so they buy them on a whim (buying something without thinking about it), even if they don’t need them. Moreover, some people are really into shoes so they like to collect them. Lastly, maybe they keep their old shoes so their collection keeps growing.
Have you ever bought shoes online?
Of course, although I don’t prefer it. I have only bought shoes online from familiar stores, like Sketchers and Zara, which I know fit me well. On the other hand, I don’t like to buy shoes from new stores when I’m not able to try them on first.
Are people willing to buy expensive shoes?
Some people! I think people who are wealthy are more apt to (likely to) buy expensive brands. On the other hand, there are some people who would rather have a few quality items rather than a bunch of cheap quality pairs. So, I think this type of person often tends to buy more expensive shoes also. ieltsxpress.com
