My black dress shoes were pretty much shot. I noticed this when I nearly fell down at work and noticed that the sole was separated from the shoe, creating a trip hazard. I have tried to repair such problems before using Superglue or other adhesives, but repairs like this are only a temporary measure. I could take the shoes to a shoe repair shop and get the sole sewn back on for about $10, but the leather uppers were pretty much worn out too. It was time for a new pair of black dress shoes.

My old black shoes were hard to walk in anyway- they weighed about 5 pounds each. This time I wanted much lighter shoes.

Fortunately, I had $10 Kohl's Cash and a 30% off coupon from Kohl's in my coupon envelope in my car ready for just such a situation. I like to keep my best coupons with me in case I need to buy something.

I checked out the black dress shoes at Kohl's and found some lightweight black dress shoes priced at $69.99 and marked down to $41.99 on clearance.

With my $10 Kohl's Cash and 30% off coupon, I saved $47.60 off of the original price. The final cost of the pair of shoes was $23.96.

I think these shoes have potential to be a good pair of shoes for me. I can't go too far wrong for $23.96...

My new cheap dress shoes- under $25 for the pair!

Cheap Shoe Options- Used Shoes

If you are willing to consider buying used shoes, you can find cheap shoes for sale at Goodwill, thrift stores, or garage sales. I think used shoes could be a good way to get some high quality shoes pretty cheap. I suspect that there are lots of used shoes for sale that were originally very expensive and that have been worn very little for whatever reason.

If you get used shoes, you might want to disinfect the shoes with Lysol or something like that. I have never gone with used shoes myself- I would be concerned with picking up a foot fungus, warts, or other diseases from used shoes.
