When it comes to shopping, few things are more painful than spending a lot of money on something and rarely wearing it. I know that I've experienced this form of fashion pain on more than one occasion. I try to take my time contemplating big purchases such as designer shoes and only want to spend that much money on pairs that I'll wear over and over. And the good news is that designer shoes are made to last, so they could potentially be a part of your wardrobe and life for years to come.

So what makes a pair of shoes worthy of wearing over and over? The key is versatility potential. Are they in a color that goes with much of your wardrobe? Can you dress them up and down? Are they comfortable, and do they have a walkable heel height? Are they timeless enough to stay in style for multiple seasons to come? These are all great questions to ask yourself. And while it's all a bit subjective, I asked myself these questions while creating this designer-shoe list and found the answer to be "yes" on most counts.
