× I buy shoes about once a month for most of the cases.
✓ I buy shoes about once a month in most cases.
The original uses 'for most of the cases', which is an incorrect prepositional phrase. This is a present tense habitual statement; the correct idiom is 'in most cases'. Replace the phrase to match natural English usage and keep the present tense to describe a habitual action.
× I buy shoes online.
✓ I buy shoes online.
This sentence is grammatically correct and uses the present simple to describe a habitual action, so no change is needed. Included here to show it fits the present tense usage.
× I usually buy shoes online because there are a wide range of options and it is quite convenient.
✓ I usually buy shoes online because there is a wide range of options and it is quite convenient.
The phrase 'there are a wide range of options' is incorrect because 'a wide range' is a singular noun phrase, so the verb should be 'is' (there is). Use 'there is a wide range of options' to match subject-verb agreement in present tense.
× For example, I can't try it before buying buying.
✓ For example, I can't try them before buying.
There are two issues: duplicated word 'buying' and incorrect pronoun 'it' referring to 'shoes' (plural). Use 'them' for plural and a single 'buying'. Alternatively, 'trying them on before buying' would be even clearer. Keep the modal 'can't' and present-tense verbal noun 'buying'.
× The price of them are not cheap, from three CN¥100 to CN¥1000.
✓ Their prices are not cheap, ranging from CN¥300 to CN¥1000.
Original has pronoun awkwardness ('the price of them') and subject-verb disagreement ('are' with 'price'). Also the numeric range 'three CN¥100' is unnatural. Use 'Their prices' (plural) or 'The price of them' -> 'Their prices', and 'ranging from CN¥300 to CN¥1000' to express the range. This fixes pronoun use and agreement and clarifies the numbers.
× I would like to buy basketball shoes from famous brands such as Nike and Adidas.
✓ I would like to buy basketball shoes from famous brands such as Nike and Adidas.
This sentence is grammatically correct: 'would like' expresses a polite desire and fits the context. No correction needed.
× I prefer fashionable shoes when hanging out with friends and comfortable shoes when taking exercises.
✓ I prefer fashionable shoes when I hang out with friends and comfortable shoes when I exercise.
'Hanging out' is informal but acceptable; however 'when taking exercises' is incorrect English. Use 'when I exercise' or 'when exercising'. Including the subject 'I' improves clarity. Use the present simple 'I hang out' and 'I exercise' to describe habitual preferences.
× Actually, I think the designer should consider both 2 aspects.
✓ Actually, I think designers should consider both aspects.
'Both 2 aspects' is unidiomatic: 'both' already implies two, so writing '2' is redundant. Also 'the designer' implies a single person; better to use the plural 'designers' or 'a designer' depending on intended meaning. Use 'both aspects' for correctness and naturalness.
× A good pair of shoes should be both fashionable and comfortable.
✓ A good pair of shoes should be both fashionable and comfortable.
This sentence is correct: 'a good pair' is singular and adjectives 'fashionable and comfortable' appropriately describe it. No change needed.
