Why buy cheap shoes?
Seriously, we were having this discussion around the dinner table today after practically a whole day of shopping. Why do people buy cheap shoes when they hurt? It’s fine to buy cheap shoes, but why buy them thinking that because they’re only shoes you shouldn’t pay more than $50 for them?
Your feet are abused day in and out. When you wear your shoes, they need not only be durable, but comfortable and good for your feet. What is $100 when it spells comfort, relief and even good health … for many months to come! Not all expensive shoes are healthy shoes, many of them are harmful. What I am arguing for here is that a good pair of shoes- even if it costs $100, is not expensive if you really think about it.
A cheap pair of shoes that causes agony on the other hand- is too costly. Think about it.

Actually, the more ridiculous thing is to get expensive shoes that hurt. I’ve got this friend who plonk down 250 pounds for a Ferragamo despite being uncomfortable in it.
She’s now hobbling around everytime I see her.
