× You know the last time I bought a new shoes about two years ago and it, it was working properly.
✓ You know the last time I bought a new pair of shoes was about two years ago and it worked properly.
The noun 'shoes' is plural but the determiner 'a new' requires a singular noun; use 'a new pair of shoes' to match singular determiner with a plural item. Also remove redundant filler words and change 'it was working properly' to simple past 'it worked properly' to match the past time frame.
× So I think it it is it is very waste of money to buy a new one.
✓ So I think it is a very wasteful use of money to buy a new one.
The phrase 'very waste of money' is ungrammatical; use 'a waste of money' or 'a very wasteful use of money'. 'Wasteful' is an adjective modifying 'use'. Also remove repeated fillers 'it it is it is'.
× So I I think the old ones.
✓ So I prefer the old ones.
Original sentence lacks a main verb and is fragmented. Adding 'prefer' completes the sentence and expresses the intended meaning.
× Well always you know, I have 3 pairs of shoes and I bought it in the online platform shopping.
✓ Well, I usually buy shoes online; I have three pairs of shoes that I bought on online shopping platforms.
'Always' was misplaced; 'usually' better fits frequency. Use 'three' instead of numeral in speech contexts. 'Bought it' is incorrect pronoun reference for plural 'pairs' so use 'that I bought'. Use preposition 'on' with 'platforms'. This corrects adverb placement, pronoun reference, and preposition use.
× You know I prefer online shopping because rather than traditional shopping because I can choose my favorite colors and it's help me saving my time.
✓ I prefer online shopping rather than traditional shopping because I can choose my favorite colors and it helps me save time.
Use 'rather than' without repeated 'because'. 'It's help me saving my time' is incorrect: use 'it helps me save time' (subject-verb agreement and correct verb form). 'Save time' is the standard collocation.
× Well, I think I just spent about 1,000,000 Vietnam down for a pair of soup because M my shoes just used for formal conditions suggest a wedding event or some O uh, when I go travel, so I need I I don't spend.
✓ Well, I think I usually spend about 1,000,000 Vietnamese dong for a pair of shoes because my shoes are mainly used for formal occasions such as weddings or when I travel, so I don't spend much otherwise.
Tense and form errors: 'I just spent' suggests a completed action; context asks about usual spending so use 'usually spend'. Currency spelling: 'Vietnamese dong'. 'Pair of soup' is wrong—should be 'pair of shoes'. 'My shoes just used' needs passive 'are mainly used' and 'conditions' should be 'occasions'. 'When I go travel' -> 'when I travel'. Clarify ending: 'so I don't spend much otherwise.'
× For important events such as greetings or meetings, I prefer formal fashionable shoes because they look professional and suit for the red coat.
✓ For important events such as greetings or meetings, I prefer formal fashionable shoes because they look professional and suit the red coat.
The verb 'suit' does not require the preposition 'for' when indicating compatibility; use 'suit the red coat'. Alternatively, 'go well with the red coat' could be used. 'Formal fashionable' is acceptable though 'formal' alone may suffice.
× But for everyday use, I choose comfortable shoes so I can work and stand for a long time.
✓ But for everyday use, I choose comfortable shoes so I can work and stand for long periods.
'Stand for a long time' is understandable but 'stand for long periods' is a more natural collocation. Tense 'choose' is present simple and appropriate; only wording improved for naturalness.
