I'm sorry but this is not a good question as there is no answer to it. It's like dividing by zero. If you have access to food and housing and $500 on top of that and you want to spend $500 on shoes then I think you can afford them. Net worth is pretty meaningless unless you are talking about retiring or becoming disabled.
Based on other replies, you might find it interesting that someone else might not dare spend $500 on shoes until he's got $25k in the bank. Yet another person might not even consider spending $500 on shoes before he's got $1,500,000 saved. And so forth...
Is this a question of buying a single pair of $500+ shoes that you will consider the crown jewel in your wardrobe? Or is this a question of creating a rotation of $500+ shoes?
Also, might I ask who you know that will A. know that you spent $500+ on a pair of shoes and B. judge you for not having enough money to make the purchase at the same time
Since when is a pair of $500 shoe consider the benchmark around here?
Is the man in a legal industry, paying taxes on assets or income, or is he in the underground economy, like oh, male prostitute or laundering money through a sports bar?
Another vote for "this is a meaningless question." If income > expenses + savings goals + other discretionary spending + $500 for shoes, then you have enough money for them. Your net worth is like the integral factor of that equation over time, sort of useless for deciding if you can "afford" them or not. Perhaps your savings goals would be higher when you had a lower net worth, but still a dumb question.
Reevolving, you can't afford $500 shoes. .
