Shoes and lots of them.\n\nAsk me 5 years ago and I would have said yes to cheap and cheerful.\n\nBut now I have sort of grown up and come to appreciate a few keys facts:\n\n- yes the pumps are not over 20 pounds. They will disintegrate at the first sign of a drizzle. You are in Scotland . It will drizzle. Lots.\n\n- investing in a good pair of shoes is wise. My granny was right: You will pay the price with a cheap set of heels eventually. I am not saying you should go all out and pay your months rent on a pair. But perhaps investing a bit more might mean your shoes will make it through the night and your feet will be in a better shape. Plus you won't walk as funny. Balanced heels are key.\n\nBarrats offers a very wide selection of shoes which are in style. You can tell that they aren't the best quality but if you are used to buying lots of shoes than this place might have a bargain for you. Its seemingly prices doesn't make it cheap cause you will have to buy a new pair sooner rather than later.
