× Well frankly I don't like buying shoes.
✓ Well, frankly, I don't like buying shoes.
Missing commas for introductory adverbial phrase; not a grammatical tense error but improves clarity. Add commas around 'frankly' and after 'Well'. Use present simple 'don't like' is correct.
× It's like once in a blue moon.
✓ I buy them only once in a blue moon.
Original sentence uses 'It's like once in a blue moon' which is informal and unclear as an answer to 'How often?'. Change to a full clause 'I buy them only once in a blue moon' to match frequency expression and sentence structure.
× However, if my shoes are damaged or out of date I looking for a pair of shoes online or waiting for the sales.
✓ However, if my shoes are damaged or out of date, I look for a pair of shoes online or wait for sales.
Missing auxiliary/inflection for present simple: 'I looking' is ungrammatical; correct form is 'I look' or 'I will look' depending on intent. Also add comma after the conditional clause. Use parallel verbs 'look' and 'wait' in present simple to match habitual action.
× Yes, of course. I usually buy shoes via online.
✓ Yes, of course. I usually buy shoes online.
Incorrect prepositional phrase 'via online' — remove 'via' and use 'online' as adverb. Present simple 'usually buy' is correct.
× This is largely because the online platform offer more effective and not too pricey.
✓ This is largely because online platforms offer better value and are not too pricey.
Subject-verb agreement: 'platform offer' should be 'platforms offer' or 'the platform offers'. Also 'more effective' is inappropriate for shopping context; use 'better value' and include verb 'are' before 'not too pricey'. Pluralize 'platforms' to match 'offer'.
× Instead, the conventional store is much more expensive.
✓ In contrast, conventional stores are much more expensive.
Use parallel noun number and clearer contrast expression. 'The conventional store is' is awkward when speaking generally; use plural 'stores are'.
× Well, I usually spend approximately 2 and 4 million rupiah on a pair of shoes, but it depends on their purpose.
✓ Well, I usually spend approximately 2 to 4 million rupiah on a pair of shoes, but it depends on their purpose.
Use correct range connector '2 to 4 million' rather than '2 and 4 million'. 'On a pair of shoes' is fine; 'their purpose' is acceptable if referring to shoes, though 'the purpose' could be clearer.
× For example, running shoes or other athletic footwear is more likely to be expensive.
✓ For example, running shoes or other athletic footwear are more likely to be expensive.
Subject-verb agreement with plural subject 'running shoes or other athletic footwear' requires plural verb 'are'.
× Well, frankly, I prefer comfortable shoes rather than a fashionable one.
✓ Well, frankly, I prefer comfortable shoes to fashionable ones.
Use correct comparison structure 'prefer A to B' and keep number agreement plural: 'fashionable ones' to match 'comfortable shoes'.
× This is mainly because the purpose that I choose the shoes is to be well used or convenient.
✓ This is mainly because I choose shoes for practicality and comfort.
Original sentence is awkward and ungrammatical. Simplify to 'I choose shoes for practicality and comfort' to clearly express purpose. Avoid literal translation 'to be well used' and 'convenient' as nouns; use adjectives 'practicality and comfort' or 'they are practical and comfortable'.
