Women in Singapore Spend $1K Every Month on Shoes

A new survey taken of 1,000 women in Singapore and Malaysia found that the average Singaporean woman will spend around $204,000 on footwear in her lifetime.
Of that $204,000, nearly 59 percent, or $120K, is spent on pricy designer shoes. Two-thirds of those surveyed in Singapore admitted to saving up a secret stash of about $1,000 ever single month to spend on shoes alone — about two times more than Malaysians.
But that’s not to say that Singaporeans are switching up their shoes every day. In fact, eighty-nine percent admitted they own shoes they’ve worn fewer than five times, and 46 percent have shoes they’ve never worn, ever.
In comparison, a 2014 study found that the typical American gal shills out approximately $20,557 on shoes in her lifetime — nearly $124,000 less than her Singaporean counterparts. Then again, women in Singapore do live, on average, four years longer than Americans. So… that accounts for some extra spending, right??
The main takeaway from all this? If Sex and the City 3 ever actually happens… they might want to consider sending footwear fiend Carrie Bradshaw to Singapore.
