There are a lot of people who claim that shoes can never hold the same investment value that bags do; however, some shoes are of far superior quality than others and will give you a definite bang for your buck. Here is a definitive list of shoes that won’t lose their shine after just one season:

1. Christian Louboutin Pigalle Court Shoes in patent leather: Transcending all seasons, these pointy court shoes are perfect with both jeans as well as that little black dress you keep returning back to over and over again. Invest in a pair of patent black ones that can be easily wiped down after an outing and won’t stain easily. The good thing about buying patent shoes is that they look better for longer.

2. Two-tone Chanel Ballet Flats: Showing fashionistas everywhere that you don’t need to go wild to make a statement, these two-tone ballet flats go with absolutely everything and will make even the most mundane outfit look a hundred times more polished.

If you really want to get the maximum wearability out of your investment, go for the nude pair with black toe caps – they go with absolutely everything. What’s more, in the unlikely eventuality that you’ll want to sell them, items from Chanel almost never lose their value: in fact, they are known to appreciate in worth over time thanks to limited production and soaring prices.
