× In you pair of sneakers is always great and I love fashionable shoes but still comfortable.
✓ A new pair of sneakers is always great, and I love fashionable shoes that are still comfortable.
The sentence has incorrect word order and wrong pronoun 'you' instead of 'a new' or 'my'. The structure is confusing; subjects and verbs must match. Use a clear noun phrase 'a new pair of sneakers' as the subject, add a verb 'is', and link the two clauses with 'and'. Also use 'that are still comfortable' to describe fashionable shoes. Suggestion: identify the main subject first, then attach descriptive clauses after it. (Grammar problem type ID: 26)
× Yes, I have multiple times, uh, because it is very convenient to buy something online.
✓ Yes, I have several times because it is very convenient to buy things online.
'Multiple times' is acceptable but sounds awkward here; 'several times' is more natural. 'Something online' is vague; use the plural 'things online' for general purchases. Also remove filler commas. Suggestion: prefer natural collocations and plural nouns when speaking generally. (Grammar problem type ID: 22)
× However, you can umm, choose an incorrect size.
✓ However, you can sometimes choose an incorrect size.
Using 'you' in general statements is acceptable in conversation but here adding 'sometimes' clarifies frequency; original had discourse filler 'umm' that broke flow. Suggestion: remove fillers and add adverbs to clarify meaning. (Grammar problem type ID: 12)
× But I don't have such problem because I always order something familiar.
✓ But I don't have that problem because I always order items I am familiar with.
'Such problem' is non-idiomatic; use 'that problem'. 'Something familiar' is vague; 'items I am familiar with' is clearer. Also 'order' typically takes a direct object like 'items' or 'shoes'. Suggestion: use natural demonstratives and specify the object. (Grammar problem type ID: 12)
× Actually it depends on the particular pair Uh, it mainly comes down to whether I buy something more convenient or more fashionable like uh.
✓ Actually, it depends on the particular pair. It mainly comes down to whether I buy something more convenient or more fashionable.
The original run-on has missing punctuation and an incomplete clause ending with 'like uh.' Remove the trailing 'like' and filler to complete the thought. Ensure each sentence has a main verb; here 'depends' and 'comes down' are the verbs. Suggestion: avoid trailing 'like' without completing the comparison and split into two sentences for clarity. (Grammar problem type ID: 23)
× I usually buy uh expensive sneakers because I appreciate uh high quality of those.
✓ I usually buy expensive sneakers because I appreciate the high quality of them.
Include the definite article 'the' before 'high quality' and use 'them' instead of 'those' for natural reference. Remove filler 'uh'. Suggestion: use 'the high quality' and 'them' for a smoother sentence. (Grammar problem type ID: 13)
× I definitely prefer comfortable shoes, 2 fashionable ones, but mostly I try to, umm, combine those qualities because I don't want to wear anything ugly and modern.
✓ I definitely prefer comfortable shoes to fashionable ones, but mostly I try to combine both qualities because I don't want to wear anything ugly or outdated.
The original uses '2' instead of 'to' and 'modern' conflicts with 'ugly' (likely meant 'outdated'). Use 'prefer A to B' for comparisons. Replace 'and' with 'or' when listing mutually exclusive negatives and remove fillers. Suggestion: use correct comparative structure 'prefer X to Y' and choose appropriate contrasting adjective ('outdated' rather than 'modern'). (Grammar problem type ID: 14)
