× Not really, I don't buy shoes that much, I normally used 1 by 1 until it's broken but when I have to buy it I prefer to in shop more than online shopping that.
✓ Not really, I don't buy shoes that much; I normally use one pair until it is worn out, but when I have to buy shoes I prefer shopping in stores rather than online.
The student mixed past and present forms ('used' should be present 'use') and used incorrect expressions ('1 by 1', 'until it's broken', 'in shop', 'online shopping that'). Use present simple for habitual actions. Replace numerals with words and 'broken' with 'worn out' for shoes. Use 'shopping in stores' and 'rather than online' for clearer comparison.

× Well, like I mentioned before, I sometimes buy shoe online but it's turn out that is not that Fish is not that fit and comfort to me so I stopped shopping shoes on website already.
✓ Well, like I mentioned before, I sometimes buy shoes online, but they turned out not to fit or be comfortable for me, so I stopped buying shoes on websites.
Countable plural noun 'shoe' should be 'shoes'; past result requires past tense 'turned out'. Use pronoun 'they' to refer to shoes. 'Fit' and 'comfortable' are adjective forms; use 'fit or be comfortable'. 'Shopping shoes on website' is unidiomatic; use 'buying shoes on websites'. Grammar problem type ID:22
× I usually spend not much on shoes, like I mentioned before I normally use one pair until it's worn out so I didn't pay for shoes that much. But I always pick up the thing that good for my feet. Health even is expensive.
✓ I usually don't spend much on shoes. As I mentioned before, I normally use one pair until it is worn out, so I don't pay much for shoes. But I always choose shoes that are good for my feet; foot health is important even if it is expensive.
Maintain present simple for habitual actions ('don't spend', 'don't pay'). 'Didn’t pay' incorrectly switches to past. 'Pick up the thing that good' is ungrammatical; use 'choose shoes that are good' and use 'are' for plural predicate. 'Health even is expensive' is incorrect word order; rephrase to 'foot health is important even if it is expensive.' Grammar problem type ID:6
× I prefer comfortable shoe rather than fashionable shoe because shoe is important to my feet.
✓ I prefer comfortable shoes rather than fashionable ones because shoes are important for my feet.
Use plural forms 'shoes' and 'ones' for comparison. Use 'are' to agree with plural subject. Use preposition 'for' rather than 'to' in this context. Grammar problem type ID:13
× I walk a lot in daily life so I often choose the shoe. Buy is quality, not fashion.
✓ I walk a lot in my daily life, so I often choose shoes based on quality, not fashion.
Combine clauses properly and use 'in my daily life'. 'Choose the shoe' should be 'choose shoes' and add 'based on' to show criterion. 'Buy is quality, not fashion' is ungrammatical; rephrase to 'based on quality, not fashion.' This fixes sentence structure and verb usage. Grammar problem type ID:26}]}
