× I only buy them when I need because I prefer to invest in good quality ones
✓ I only buy them when I need to because I prefer to invest in good quality ones
The verb 'need' requires the infinitive form 'to' when followed by another verb. So, 'need to' is correct instead of just 'need'.
× I prefer to not buy anything which I don't require at the moment
✓ I prefer not to buy anything that I don't require at the moment
The phrase 'prefer to not buy' is better expressed as 'prefer not to buy' for natural English. Also, 'which' is used for non-restrictive clauses; here 'that' is more appropriate for restrictive clauses.
× I have been buying almost all my shoes for the past few years online
✓ I have bought almost all my shoes online for the past few years
The present perfect continuous 'have been buying' suggests an ongoing action, but buying shoes is a repeated action completed multiple times, so present perfect 'have bought' is more appropriate.
× My most expensive recent purchase has been a pair of Doctor Martin's boot which were about 10,000
✓ My most expensive recent purchase has been a pair of Doctor Martin's boots which were about 10,000
The word 'boots' should be plural because a pair consists of two boots. Also, 'which were' is correct as it refers to the plural 'boots'.
× I definitely consider prefer COM comfortable shoes above anything
✓ I definitely prefer comfortable shoes above anything
The phrase 'consider prefer COM' is incorrect and unclear. The correct expression is simply 'I definitely prefer comfortable shoes'.
