Hello ·"the dark night" I think the same.
Could do with a pair like that myself.
what is mean?
could do means he wants this pair of shoes for himself as well
Hello awesh,
In this example, the man is talking about the woman's shoes. We use a pair of to mean two of something.
He says I could do with to mean he needs or wants something.
So, I could do with a pair like that myself means he needs or wants some shoes similar to the woman's.

I go shopping whenever I'm sad or have troubles because it help me to relax and forget all damn things for a while. Buy things on Internet is comfortable but be careful with cheating.
