Assuming your name is not Imelda Marcos (had over 3,000 pairs of shoes and yet still only had the normal count of feet to put them on!) this is actually a good symbol. We wear shoes to fit the occasion, hiking shoes for hiking, walking shoes for walking, sandals for the beach, high heels for parties and weddings. So in dreams shoes are about being equipped to move forward with regard to the dream’s subject matter.
Buying shoes is great as payment shows that you are willing to invest what it takes to be able to move forward. It is far more common in a dream to find yourself barefoot which means you’re not ready or ill equipped with regard to the subject matter.
If it is your dream you’ll likely know what the dream is about but something else in the dream will reveal the subject matter. If your partner is in the dream it is about your relationship. If the shoes don’t match it means you think you and your partner are not a match. This type of dream is likely to also point out what is influencing your mistaken thoughts.
Needing to change your shoes mid-dream asks you to change your approach to the subject matter. You’ve probably used an approach that has worked successfully to get you to where you are but now it is necessary to make a change.
Buying beautiful or sparkling high heels is an interesting one, especially if much of the focus is on the height of the heel. This dream is likely about walking your higher path. Examining a single high heel shoe means the same thing.
