5 years ago we went to Utah with plans to visit the Grand canyon on the way. B was newly 1 year old and I wanted good shoes so I wouldn't slip down the canyon and drop him...
I'd never invested in good shoes for myself. Hand me downs and whatever fit and cost less than $25 was my main source of footwear. Occasionally I would go out with my sister M and get 1 pair of shoes that felt special.
I've arrived recently at a level of caring for my feet. When I stopped eating sweets I rewarded myself with nice leather boots after 100 days free from sugar. I started walking around the same time and got a good pair of walking shoes. I threw away all my closed toe dress shoes and got salt waters. My craisglist Tevas broke down and I got new ones instead of some knock off. I currently own 6 pairs of shoes (plus galoshes OK!) and each is a pair that fits well and is kind to my feet.
