× Whenever I got a sale on my favorite brands, I just visit the nearby shopping center and buy my favorite brand shoes.
✓ Whenever there was a sale on my favorite brands, I would visit the nearby shopping center and buy my favorite-brand shoes.
The original mixes past ('got') with present habitual ('visit', 'buy'). Use past habitual to match 'Whenever I got a sale' or change 'got' to present. 'Whenever there was a sale' correctly uses 'there was' for past occurrence, and 'would visit' indicates repeated past action. Also use a hyphen in 'favorite-brand' when used as a compound adjective.
× Yes, I often buy shoes online because the online sale is better than the shopping center sale, so I recommend buying shoes online.
✓ Yes, I often buy shoes online because online sales are better than shopping center sales, so I recommend buying shoes online.
Use plural 'sales' for general plural events and maintain simple present tense for habits. 'The online sale is better' implies a specific sale; using 'online sales are better' generalizes appropriately. No tense change needed; just correct countable noun form.
× Well, I spend too much on buying shoes. I usually spend $500 buying shoes online and whenever I get extra money saved, I go to the nearby shopping centre and then again buy shoes.
✓ Well, I spend a lot on shoes. I usually spend $500 buying shoes online, and whenever I save extra money, I go to the nearby shopping centre and buy more shoes.
'Spend too much on buying shoes' is awkward; use 'spend a lot on shoes'. Keep present simple for habits: 'I usually spend', 'whenever I save extra money'. 'Get extra money saved' is incorrect word order; 'save extra money' is correct. 'Then again buy shoes' is unnatural; 'buy more shoes' is clearer.
× Well I walk along and train a lot in the gym so I prefer comfortable shoes as compared to the fashion ones as the comfortable shoes relieves my foot pain as well.
✓ Well, I walk a lot and train frequently at the gym, so I prefer comfortable shoes rather than fashionable ones because comfortable shoes relieve my foot pain as well.
'Walk along' is incorrect in this context; use 'walk a lot'. 'Train a lot in the gym' is better as 'train frequently at the gym'. 'As compared to the fashion ones' is awkward; use 'rather than fashionable ones'. Subject-verb agreement: plural 'shoes' requires plural verb 'relieve', not 'relieves'. Also 'fashionable' is the correct adjective form.
