I would say it really depends on the season and my needs since we have distinct seasons in my country. The type of shoes I wear changes throughout the year. On average, I buy new shoes 2 or 3 times a year, mostly out of necessity. I don't usually spend extravagantly on shoes. I tend to prioritize comfort and durability rather than brands or the latest trends. If a pair fits my budget and has the comfort and design I'm looking for, I'll go ahead and buy it. So on average, I normally spend around $15 to $20 on each pair of shoes.
