✓ Well for me I spend about $100 for higher quality shoes, but if I'm buying shoes that are not of a higher brand or have low quality, I would prefer buying shoes in the $20 to $30 range as well.
The word 'shoes' is plural, so the verbs and pronouns referring to it should also be plural. 'Shoes that is' should be 'shoes that are' and 'has low quality' should be 'have low quality'. Also, 'a higher quality shoes' is incorrect because 'shoes' is plural; it should be 'higher quality shoes'. Additionally, the price range should include the dollar sign consistently as '$20 to $30 range'. This correction ensures subject-verb agreement and proper plural usage.
× Absolutely, I shop most of the time in online in general.
✓ Absolutely, I shop online most of the time in general.
The preposition 'in' is incorrectly used before 'online'. The correct phrase is 'shop online' without 'in'. This correction improves the naturalness and grammatical correctness of the sentence.
× So for me I really take regards to buying clothes or shoes in general.
✓ So for me I really take care when buying clothes or shoes in general.
The phrase 'take regards to' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'take care when' or 'pay attention to'. This correction clarifies the intended meaning and corrects the prepositional phrase.
× So I'd rather buy it online and get a value products that last me longer.
✓ So I'd rather buy online and get value products that last me longer.
The phrase 'a value products' mixes singular article 'a' with plural noun 'products'. Removing 'a' corrects the singular/plural mismatch. Also, 'buy it online' is vague; 'buy online' is more natural here.
× So for me, I don't really buy it that much often.
✓ So for me, I don't really buy them that often.
The pronoun 'it' is singular but refers to 'shoes' which is plural, so it should be 'them'. Also, 'that much often' is incorrect; 'that often' is the correct adverbial phrase.
× I think as much as fashion matters, I think comfortability matters more.
✓ I think as much as fashion matters, I think comfort matters more.
The word 'comfortability' is not commonly used; the correct noun is 'comfort'. This correction improves word choice and naturalness.
× I like to invest into a few higher quality items which may not be available sometimes offline.
✓ I like to invest in a few higher quality items which may not be available sometimes offline.
The correct preposition with 'invest' is 'in', not 'into'. This correction fixes the prepositional error.
× I would prefer buying shoes in 20 to $30 range as well.
✓ I would prefer buying shoes in the $20 to $30 range as well.
The phrase 'in 20 to $30 range' is missing the definite article 'the' before 'range' and the dollar sign before '20'. This correction fixes article usage and consistency in currency notation.
