A select pair of shoes that is repetitively worn by one attending a fancy or special event. Although these shoes entail no specific price point, the cost of the ‘going out shoes’ is typically set at a price that is moderately expensive, or simply more than what the user would typically spend on a pair of shoes.

Additionally, most people who own a pair of going out shoes will wear the shoes regardless of whether it matches the rest of their ‘going outfit.’

IE A pair of Ugg Boots with a pink and white floral dress(bonus points if it out of season)
Emma: “Oh my god, why is Ms. Anderson wearing fluffy black Ugg boots with a floral church dress? In the summer no less!”

Theresa: “Leave her alone. She probably bought them both years apart and it’s the only nice pair of shoes she owns. It’s her pair of going out shoes.”
