Use more precise vocabulary and keep your answer concise within 5 sentences.

× Yes, I like buying shoes, but I don't buy it often.
✓ Yes, I like buying shoes, but I don't buy them often.
The pronoun 'it' is incorrect because 'shoes' is plural, so the correct pronoun is 'them'.
× I usually buy it once at four months.
✓ I usually buy them once every four months.
The phrase 'once at four months' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'once every four months' to indicate frequency. Also, 'it' should be 'them' to match the plural noun 'shoes'.
× sometimes it could be uh, even for whole week if uh, the shoes is was good quality.
✓ sometimes it could be even for a whole week if the shoes are good quality.
The subject 'shoes' is plural, so the verb should be 'are' not 'is' or 'was'. Also, 'for whole week' needs the article 'a' to be grammatically correct.
× Yes, I had experience buying shoes online but I didn't like it because the size uh, was a bit small for me and uh, I had to return them back but I didn't get the refund back.
✓ Yes, I have experience buying shoes online but I didn't like it because the size was a bit small for me and I had to return them but I didn't get a refund.
The phrase 'I had experience' should be 'I have experience' to indicate present perfect tense. Also, 'return them back' and 'get the refund back' are redundant; 'return them' and 'get a refund' are correct.
× If it's sneakers I usually uh spend money about 35,000 a year.
✓ If it's sneakers, I usually spend about 35,000 a year.
The phrase 'spend money about' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'spend about' when referring to an amount of money.
× But uh if it's health umm I can spend more.
✓ But if it's heels, I can spend more.
The word 'health' is incorrect in context; likely the intended word is 'heels', a type of shoe. This is a vocabulary error rather than grammar, but correction is necessary for clarity.
× But it also depends on the shop and quality though.
✓ But it also depends on the shop and the quality though.
The noun 'quality' needs the definite article 'the' to specify it properly in this context.
× Of course it's sometimes can be complicated to find both qualities in one pair of shoes, but if you know a specific shops that sells these good shoes, it is easy.
✓ Of course, it can sometimes be complicated to find both qualities in one pair of shoes, but if you know specific shops that sell these good shoes, it is easy.
The phrase 'it's sometimes can be' is incorrect; correct order is 'it can sometimes be'. Also, 'a specific shops' is incorrect because 'shops' is plural; it should be 'specific shops'. The verb 'sells' should be 'sell' to agree with plural subject 'shops'.
